In the last year, the 5 Love Languages quiz has become quite popular!

When you take the quiz, it will tell you what your primary love language is along with your less prominent love languages.

Your love language describes how you prefer to show love to those around you as well as how you prefer to receive love from the people in your life.

The 5 love languages are: physical touch, acts of service, words of affirmation, receiving gifts and quality time.

For example, my love language is quality time. Therefore, I prefer to show love by spending lots of time with my friends. Likewise, I feel most appreciated when they make time for me, especially if they're super busy with other stuff.

If you're unsure of someone's love language, look at the cues they give you. If they're constantly trying to make plans with you or want to spend hours upon hours with you during your hangouts, then their love language is probably quality time.

Anyways, if you recognize yourself in this listicle, then your love language is probably quality time!

1. You're a people-person

People with quality time as their primary love language are very invested in their relationships with others. Even if you're not a raging extrovert like me, you enjoy meeting new people and forming new friendships because now you have more people to go on brunch dates with!

2. You're usually the initiator

You're typically the friend reaching out to everyone else to see if they want to get together. This can get pretty frustrating at times if the effort isn't reciprocated, but you do it anyways because you want to see your favorite people!

3. You prefer one-on-one hangouts over group hangouts

Don't get me wrong, group hangouts can be really fun, but you don't really get to learn much about anyone individually. When you spend one-on-one time with friends, you're able to achieve more intimacy and learn more about who they are. I don't know about you, but I'll take that over "squad goals" anyday!

4. Gifts aren't really your thing

media.giphy.com

I like the effort people put into buying or making gifts, but they're not my cup of tea. My idea of a perfect Christmas gift would be getting a text from a friend (or a crush) telling me they cleared an entire day just to spend one-on-one time with me. If someone did that for me, I would lose it (hint hint)!

5. You get a little salty when plans get cancelled

media.giphy.com

For people who value quality time the most, we absolutely jump at any opportunity to spend time with our favorite people. Therefore, we can sometimes feel unprioritized (if that's even a word) when people cancel plans. Oh well, there's always next time!

6. Every get-together is an adventure

media.giphy.com

It's called quality time, not "let's get together only to play on our phones and ignore each other" time. I'm fine being by myself, but when I want to see my friends, I want us to connect. I want us to talk. I want us to make memories, and I can't do that behind a screen!

If your love language is Quality Time, then you're definitely something special! You cherish those around you with everything you have, you understand the importance of one-on-one, and you know how to make everyone feel special.

Now that you're done reading this, put down the laptop, pick up the phone and call your friend to invite them to dinner. It's time to work your magic!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
