I never thought I'd say this, but the great outdoors is pretty great.

3 Great Reasons Why 'Inside People' Should Go Outside
Isabella Mancini

I am not much of an outdoor person, but I was feeling stressed recently and confused for a mixture of reasons. The only solution I could come up with was to go for a walk. So, one Saturday morning, by myself, that is exactly what I did. It was awesome. I almost never go outside, especially after surviving the rough Midwestern winter.

Below you will find three reasons why connecting with yourself and nature at the same time can solve all your problems.

It will make you think more.

Isabella Mancini

I don't know about you, but between walking everywhere with headphones in and always being surrounded by people in college, I forget sometimes that I have thoughts in my head when everything else is silent. If you go to a place that is quiet and surrounded by nature, you can find some clarity that was previously muddled with white noise.

Get out of the bubble.

Isabella Mancini

It's no surprise that Oxford is a rural little bubble, but sometimes I forget that more civilization isn't the only other solution. Going outside by yourself puts you at the other extreme, and that can be super refreshing, especially since most of my alone time is spent inside at my desk (which isn't bad, but could use some more variety).

Exercise!

Isabella Mancini

I didn't intend to go for a six-mile walk, but by the time I walked in one direction far enough to feel better, I realized I had to walk all the way back. So if anything, you'll feel fit and level-headed.

Good luck exploring the outdoors and finding yourself!

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.
