Are your Resolutions Doable?

It's about getting them done, not forgetting about them.

Are your Resolutions Doable?
Giphy

The New Year is a time when you might feel like you’re on top of the world. You make a lot of resolutions, but by the six-month mark, those resolutions are out the window. For the year of 2016, I made about five resolutions related to books and I only met two. Here are three ways for you to get your resolutions checked off your list.

Stick to things that you know you’ll get done.

Everyone is different. That’s also a reason as to keep your resolutions particular to you. If you know that it’s impossible for you to wake up every day at 5 a.m., but 7 a.m. is manageable for you, do that instead.

Be realistic.

This point ties into the previous one but it’s true. Being realistic to the resolutions you want to meet this year is key for you to finish them.

Make chores fun.

Most chores are not fun to do. They're boring, but necessary. I get passionate about cleaning the house by listening to audiobooks or podcasts. It sort of makes me forget that I’m doing a chore.

New Year's resolutions are doable if they’re things that stay within your range of motion. By no means is doing things out of your range a bad thing, but if you try to do all of the things at once, then there’s a possibility that you won’t do any of it.

I hope you had a wonderful New Year and your year is full of doing things you enjoy.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
