Are you artistically inclined? Are you patient when it comes to graphic design? Do you know exactly how to scale items in order for the type of product you want to create? If the answer to any of those questions is no, I have five reasons you need to start using Canva.

1. So. Many. Templates.

You can literally find a template someone made for just about any theme or thing you decide to create. They have so many that you're bound to find one that you're looking for. It's fun too, seeing what you can create when you already have a template as a starting point.

2. It's user friendly.

Sometimes (most of the time), Photoshop can be hard to use. It can be touchy, and it isn't necessarily user friendly. It will also take years to figure out on your own. Canva comes with a quick and easy thirty second tutorial, but even if you skip it, it's quick to understand.

3. They already have graphics, too.

BUT, if there's a graphic or image you seriously need to use, it lets you upload them within thirty seconds.

4. It always looks put together.

You don't have to worry about spending hours on a flyer that might come out looking like a toddler made it just not looking right. With Canva, it all ends up looking cohesive even if you do not have any skill in matching typeface with pictures or themes.

5. It's free!

Well, most of it is. You DO have to pay for certain materials if you want specific images or if you want to use some of the really nice templates, but you can do so much without paying a penny.

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.
