13 Uses For A Coffee Mug OTHER Than Holding Your Precious Caffeine Fix

Kelsey Dietrich

Coffee mugs are a staple in every household. They are quite easy to compile over the years because unique mugs are sold everywhere: your favorite coffee shop, gift shops you stumble across on vacation, and Walmart even. Even though you know you already have several when you find a new one, you are absolutely compelled to buy it. So other than drinking your morning coffee, what purpose can all of the mugs that you accumulate over the years live up to?

Here are 13 uses for your coffee mug that will probably justify the fact that your collection is continuously growing.

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.
