Sometimes life can get you down, but what's important is that you always get back up. There are a lot of things you can do to improve your week, even if it is something small.

Even though it's up to you to make this week great, here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Grow in your faith.

God is good, and he loves you. This week, let your relationship with God grow. It doesn't matter how distant you feel from him right now. He is always there and always loves you and is ready for you no matter what.

2. Stop saying "I know."

This is something I read about in a book, and before it brought this to my attention, I hadn't realized how often I said it. When you make a legitimate effort to stop saying it, you will find yourself listening more closely to others. Instinctually we say "I know" in response to something that we don't actually know, and this is a sign that we are mentally checking out of the situation and no longer listening because we already "know." So the first step to this challenge is to become aware of it, but then to change it and to listen to who you're talking with so you can have an awesome conversation

3. Be active.

Get a good workout in a few times throughout the week. Admittedly, it might suck during the workout but after you will feel great. It can help get your mind off the stress of life, it will make you feel more energetic, and you'll ready to tackle whatever is next in your busy life.

4. Sleep well.

There's nothing better than a good night's sleep— I think we can all agree on that. So get a few of those this week, you'll wake up feeling great and ready to conquer the day.

5. Go the extra mile.

Do everything to the best of your ability. It's so easy to find yourself saying "why bother?" This week only let other people say that, don't let yourself because there is a reason to bother. Just keep working, and get it done. Then at the end, even if you thought it wouldn't be worth it, it will be and your reward will feel great.

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.
