1) Learn how to say NO

In any situation, whether you do not like the way your nails turned out or you want someone to leave you alone. Gather up your britches and have the courage to say enough is enough.

2) Walk the Walk

Pick your head up when you walk, straighten that posture and walk as if you are strutting Louis Vuitton heels on and as if you are ready to conquer the world.

3) Challenge Yourself

Run that 5K. Wear that outfit you feel insecure in. Take 18 credit hours. Do any task that challenges you for the better.

4) Don't always live life on the safe side

Go somewhere you have never been, go up to the guy or girl you have been trying to talk to for months, heck even go skydiving. You can surprise yourself with the strength you have.

5) Tell EVERYONE like it is

Never be afraid to be honest, there are times to sit back and be silent but there are other times to stand up for yourself. If they crossed the line, they crossed the line. Remember. You are a tough a cookie.

6) Don't Take No for an answer

If someone says you are not good enough to do it, accomplish that task ten times in a row.

7) Dream Big

The more you believe you are capable of everything, the more it actually becomes reality.

8) Treat Yo'self

Give yourself time to treat the royalty inside you. Take a nap, get a facial, whatever floats your boat.

9) Become Who You Want to Be

If you see anything wrong with yourself, dig deep and fix it. Don't wake up in the morning and wish something was different. If it's wanting to be further educated go do it, if it's wanting to learn a new language, whatever the case; get on board because you never know when your last day will be.

10) Try Something New

You know that food everyone is afraid to try? Or roller coaster no one will ride? You do it, because you as a person will grow from this and it will shine outwards that you are a tough cookie that is not afraid to try anything new.

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.
