I'd Rather Spend My Money On...

What things are really worth spending your money on? Does it really have to be ALWAYS on yourself? I understand the fact that sometimes we just "don't have anything to wear!" However, have you looked around? Have you noticed those who actually have nothing, and I mean nothing in every aspect of life.

So, just in case you are considering the above statements, I am going to provide you with some of the many excellent ways you can spend your money on, and more importantly help somebody (while you are also helping yourself).

1. Surprise your family members once in a while

It doesn't have to be an expensive present. Once in a while, you can show those people who love you exactly how much you reciprocate. Try it! It will bring somebody joy, especially if it comes around at a difficult time. Don't forget the love, that counts even more.

2. GoFundMe.com

Gofundme.com is a website in which you can put your money for just about any good cause there is. It is a completely trustworthy site, so you have no excuse to not to grab that computer and start donating.

3. Operation Smile.

What it is and what is does: Nonprofit organization that provides free surgeries for children suffering from cleft lip or cleft palate all around the world. Yes!, you can also be part of this. Donate now and make a difference for those children.

4. Finding cures. Saving others: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.


I am convinced that you are familiarized with the work that St.Jude does for children with cancer. As amazing as this is, they can't do it all alone. You are important because you make the free treatment happen every single time you donate. These angels deserve a chance in life, they deserve free treatment and their families, they deserve having to see their kids grow up. Start saving lives today.


I would have listed three hundred more places, more websites, and more causes. However, there are too many out there. What you need to do is just look for them; get out of snapchat and go explore what is out there. The world needs help and it is our duty to contribute. From animal, to environmental, to humans themselves... there is always something in which you can offer your help.

Be aware, however, that: IF THERE IS NO LOVE IN ALL THESE THINGS, THEN IT WILL BE POINTLESS. It is not the money that counts only, a warm heart is absolutely necessary as well.

I hope you think twice when you get that next payment check.

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.

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.
