Occasionally, I like to check to see how much the Mega Millions lottery is up to. Currently, it is $40 million. That is crazy!

Then I get to thinking... What would I do with all that money if I won?

I thought about it for a second and decided I'd like to share exactly what I'd do. Here are my top 10 ways I'd use my money if I won the lottery.

1. A long and relaxing vacation!

The first thing I would want to do is go on vacation. I would probably first go to Disney then book a cruise. I would totally relax.

2. Donate some!

I've always said that if I won the lottery, I would donate some of it. This would include charities as well as schools in my area.

3. Buy my dream house!

Getting my dream house would be... well, a DREAM!

4. Buy my dream car!

It would most likely be multiple dream cars because I would want a sports car, a truck, and an SUV. Not only would I buy my dream car, but I would by my mom and dad one, too.

5. Travel!

I would love to travel everywhere. Europe, Asia, across the United States, everywhere! I want to experience something new.

6. Hire a chef!

I would never want to cook again, so of course, the obvious solution is to hire someone to do that.

7. Go on a shopping spree!

A shopping spree is not fun by yourself, so my closest friends would be included to shop 'til we drop.

8. Pay off my student loans... and my sister's!

Buh-bye, debt. Nothing would be more satisfying than paying all of our debt off.

9. Go to every concert I want to when I want to!

Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and so many more.

Honestly, I'd probably just go to a concert because I could at this point.

10. Share the money with my mom and dad!

Of course, a lottery is only fun when you have people to share it with. My parents have done so much for me, so it's the least I can do for them.

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.
