5 Things You Can Do By Yourself To Cheer YOURSELF Up

Being alone doesn't mean that you have to feel lonely.

I used to feel dependent on other people and felt that I couldn't do fun things by myself. But that is completely not the case, you can do anything that you want alone. I think one of the saddest traits a person can have is making their happiness dependent on another person. It's not hard to do things alone, so just try it out.

1. Go see a movie! 

Workers at the movie theatres completely have no care in the world whether you're there alone or with someone else. Also, movie goers don't care, either. I love seeing movies alone, especially when I want to see something that other people are groaning about seeing with me. Also, if you're going alone, then you can see a cheap matinee and save money!

2. Paint.

You can literally go to Painting with a Twist and paint a masterpiece for about $30. It's also BYOB friendly, so you can drink and paint your loneliness away. I 10/10 recommend planning this in advance though because you don't want to paint anything that you don't like.

If you don't want to go to a studio, then you can go grab your paints and follow an online tutorial.

3. Pottery. 

There are places like Color Me Mine that allow you to paint any piece of pottery of your choosing! You can turn this act into a gift for a family member with ease, and it's fun to do!

4. Go shopping.

Buy a new outfit to make you feel better! You don't need to find anything to look good for someone else, but find something to make you feel good about yourself.

5. Binge watch a new series.

You can watch a series that you've never heard of on Netflix or Hulu. I 10/10 suggest trying "Black Mirror" on Netflix to start. I fell in love with the series right away! You could even rewatch something. Nothing against that!

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.
