Opting for cute, sustainable clothing is a much easier way to feel less guilty about feeding into fast fashion corporations like Forever 21 and Fashion Nova, many of which own inherently dehumanizing sweat-shops with little to no remorse for the workers and environmental toll this takes on us.

1. Reformation 

While definitely on the expensive side, their cohesive plan to consider water input, energy input, land use, eco-toxicity, greenhouse gas emissions, human toxicity, availability and price when manufacturing clothes makes up for its high-end prices.

2. Alternative Apparel, Inc.

It's budget-friendliness and incorporates organic and recycled materials wherever possible, with most of their clothes being under $100.

3. Levi's

Levi's jeans are by far the most sustainable, with initiatives like Cotton's Blue Jeans Go Green™ program that recycled over 2.4 million pieces of denim and diverted over 1,200 tons of textile waste from landfills.

4. Everlane 

Everlane focuses on their workers as well, and ensure to keep up to ethical standards by paying close attention to factors like fair wages, reasonable hours, and environment.

5. Stella McCartney 

Luxury fashion, but make it sustainable. Stella McCartney pushes towards transparency, protecting ancient and endangered forests and measuring our impact and footprint.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
