Summer is not only a break between semesters, but it is also your time to prepare for the coming school year. It is a crucial point to get yourself together emotionally, physically, and mentally. Here are some of the ways I prepare for the coming year so I can go in fresh and ready to conquer.

1. Plan, plan, plan.

This is something you learn over time but can master if you focus. Planning out your days allow you to get the most done you possibly can and prioritize properly. When you plan, you can find your free time and actually enjoy your days.

2. Wake up early.

When you sleep till 11 A.M. or 12 P.M., half your day is gone. When you wake up early, you can more into your day and actually enjoy your mornings to yourself before a long day starts. This will also help when you go back to school and have a lot of work and classes to fit into one day.

3. Set goals.

Set them, and then crush them. When you have goals to focus on, you can plan for them and then keep making more. It lets you get ahead. And setting goals will help you stay on track during the semester.

4. Start planning your meals for the week.

When you plan on Sunday, you can get all of your grocery shopping done at once and know what is coming for the week. It saves time and energy throughout the week. When you get to school, you will already know how to meal plan and will make the start of your semester even better. You can even take it a step further and meal prep!

5. Go to sleep early.

Getting your full 8 hours of sleep can really do wonders for you. When you're tired, you get sluggish and can't concentrate on work. Not a good habit to have ever.

6. Exercise!!

When your body feels good, you feel good. This can help you not only physically, but mentally— you'll feel happier and healthier.

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.
