My secret to surviving college relies heavily on essential oils. They are nature's beautiful scents that work as a great stress-reliever that soothes and uplifts you. These scents not only calm your nerves but they are proven to treat sleep disorders and enhance efficiency. Here are some of my favorite scents for every mood.

1. Lavender

Not only is lavender one of the most gorgeous scents, but it also is known for its sleep-inducing results. While reducing stress and anxiety, it can also prevent acne, relieve pain, and enhance blood circulation. Diffuse Lavender at night on your bedside table for maximum results.

2. Eucalyptus

TAKE NOTES! Eucalyptus is my go-to oil for when I'm sick. It's a cooling and refreshing scent that is known for clearing the lungs and sinuses. It provides antioxidant protection and improves respiratory circulation. Diffuse when you're feeling a little under the weather.

3. Lemon 

Lemon scents are known for its purifying and cleaning properties while also energizing and uplifting. Diffuse lemon oil in the mornings before starting your day.

4. Peppermint 

Peppermint's cooling and minty scent are known to help headaches and nausea. Either diffuse or apply to direct to the skin to cure any discomfort.

5. Orange

Orange is an anti-inflammatory scent that also helps as an antidepressant. It helps create a happy feeling while helping to reduce pulse rate and salivary cortisol which is experienced during a state of anxiety.

6. Tea Tree

Tea Tree scents help stimulate your immune system and help to heal skin due to its antibacterial action. Diffuse Tea Tree into your next skin care routine!

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.

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.
