If you're like me, you absolutely LOVE food. And again, if you're like me, you don't necessarily eat the healthiest snacks in the world because, let's face it, they aren't as fun as those chocolate chip cookies or the mac and cheese with *extra* cheese. Here's a list of my favorite snacks that are as delicious as they are healthy!

1. Smoothies!

I love a good smoothie on my way to class or work in the morning. Super quick and super easy to make! (Pina-Colada is my favorite!)

2. Avocado Fries

Avocado + fries. Need I say more?

3. Oatmeal Bites

They taste just as good as cookies, and you feel less guilty after eating 6 or so!

  • Recipe:
  • 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I use old-fashioned oats)
  • 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter.
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed.
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)
  • 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

    • 4. Chocolate Pineapple Slices

    Who doesn't love a little bit of chocolate?

    5. Cinnamon Banana Bites

    With only 73 calories per serving, this snack is incredibly healthy and just as binge-worthy as Friends!

    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.
