Dear January,

Where did you go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was cramped in a basement with all of my friends waiting for the ball to drop. Shortly afterwards, I piled my stuff into my parents car and make the journey back to campus. Since first arriving for this spring semester back at Syracuse University, I feel like I have been running around campus non stop, and working on all other assignments.

My news years resolutions that I had so strongly argued that I would not forget about were pushed to the back of my mind. But, who says that January 1st, is the only day that you can set resolutions. It isn't! Here are my goals for the rest of this semester.

1. Get to bed earlier. 

I always regret my decision to stay up binge watching Netflix the next morning.

2. Start homework before I allow myself to watch Netflix, YouTube videos, scroll through Instagram.

3. Get to classes on time.

Especially because of the extreme temperatures right now, I need to make sure that I am giving myself extra time to avoid slipping on ice.

4. Limit my money and time spent online shopping.

5. Make more time for myself.

Set aside a night to allow myself to relax

6. Stop eating fries every time that I go into the dining hall. 

I feel you girl, we can do this together.

7. Keep my dorm room clean

8. Chew less gum.

seriously...I am addicted...and it is harmful to my wallet.

9. Spend less money on Starbucks and make coffee in my room instead.

10. Make plans to do things with other people first instead of assuming that people will ask me to do things. 

11. Explore more things around Syracuse!

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.
