Finals week is one of the most chaotic and stressful times of the year. When everyone is freaking out about their exams and end of the year projects, it can be hard to take time to reflect and practice self care. The internet is full of really cool websites designed to help relieve stress and make you feel better. Here are just a few!

1. The Quiet Place

Sometimes we just need a quiet place to collect our thoughts and refocus. The "Quiet Place" is designed to provide just this. Just for a few minutes, it asks you to turn off your phone and not check social media and just focus on your self.

2. The Thoughts Room

From the same creator of the "Quiet Place" comes the "Thoughts Room." There are so many thoughts that can run through our heads and bring us down. This website lets you write out all of your thoughts and frustrations and watch them disappear.

This website lets you pick the amount of time you want to mediate from two to 20 minutes, as well as picking your own nature scene.

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.

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.
