At the beginning of my first semester of college, I went to the gym all the time. However, as classes and clubs and extracurriculars got more busy, I became "too busy" to go to the gym. First of all, I don't think anyone is "too busy" for anything, even if you're Beyoncé or something. Everyone can make time for the things (or people!) they want to do or spend time with. So get up off the couch! I promise that extra Game of Thrones episode can wait.

1. Wow, I can't believe it's been a month (or a year, hey, no judgement) since I've been at the gym.

Time flies when you're binge watching your favorite shows after school or work.

2. I loved the way running/lifting weights/yoga/whatever made me feel after!

Giphy

Maybe it's time for me to go back. I do miss that feeling.

3. I forgot how many cute people went to the gym...

Giphy

Oh, THAT'S how they got those good bodies. Huh.

4. This really does get easier and easier the more you go!

Giphy

At first it was rough, but I can feel myself getting back into shape.

5. I really missed the gym.

Giphy

I hope I remember this the next time I'm "too busy" :)

Making time for the things you care about in your life is so so important. The things that make you happy and healthy always come first! Don't be afraid to take breaks if you need them, but often pushing yourself can get you to places you've never been.

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.
