For anyone, it seems like the world today is just constantly full of bad news and distractions and stress. For college students, it is even more so, because there is the constant pressure of work and figuring out who and what you are going to be. There are standards to be met, and homework and assignments piling up. The world can become just a bit too much to handle sometimes. However, if we try to look at the little things we do have, it can make a world of a difference for our stress levels and our attitudes.

1. Being able to call your parents at the end of a long day and being able to say anything on your mind. 

2. Having friends that really do care about your well being and check up on you.

3. Someone telling you that you changed their life for the better. 

4. Having a productive day and getting time to yourself to relax.

5. Putting in a hard workout and feeling lighter on your feet by the end.

6. Drinking water and feeling like your body is thanking you for re-hydrating.

7. Taking the time to be creative and express yourself.

8. Being able to look your best and feel confident in the way you present yourself.

9. Getting to come home and hold and snuggle your pet.

10. The weight of heavy blankets on your bed during a cold night.

11. The opportunity to educate and better yourself and your awareness.

12. Meditating to relax and calm down the mind when life gets to be too much.

13. Turning to faith and religion for guidance in staying positive.

14. Laughing at a joke with friends and not being able to catch your breath.

15. Knowing that no matter what you will never be alone in the world.

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.

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.
