How To Create Your Vision Board

With the start of a new year comes endless opportunities to think about the future and what you want yours to look like. Beyond thinking about the future, you can also work towards the future to ultimately lead the life you want to lead. Having a vision board to put as the wallpaper of your phone or computer, or even to print out and hang on your wall can help remind you of all the great that is yet to come. Here are some tips on how to create the vision board that's right for you.

Start with your aesthetic(s)

Choose colors, images and patterns that make you happy and that you identify with. You don't have to limit yourself to one aesthetic either: if you want both sparkly Y2K vibes but also flowery cottagecore vibes, you can tie them together with common colors and patterns. Just like in life, you don't have to limit yourself to one aesthetic or state of mind.

Gather images of your shorter-term goals

Whether it's graduating college, maintaining a healthier lifestyle or finding more time to appreciate the little things in life, include images that represent these goals. (Tip: if the image doesn't fit the aesthetic, apply filters on apps like VSCO or Adobe LightRoom to match the colors and vibes.)

Gather images of your longer-term goals

The possibilities are endless with long-term goals. They also don't have to be definite! You have time, and you will figure things out. Here are some questions to think about when thinking of your long-term goals.

Where do you want to live?

Where do you want to travel?

What do you want your career to look like?

What are some awards you want to work towards winning?

How are you going to bring these dreams to life?

Add quotes and words you live by

Integrating meaningful quotes into your vision board can help you manifest these dreams into reality. Include quotes from people you look up to, positive affirmations or words that comfort you in times of hardship.

Lastly, remember what makes you special, and integrate that into your board

In the end, this board is supposed to represent you and your dreams, so remembering who you are will help you manifest who you want to be.

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.
