1. Take BuzzFeed quizzes.

What cookie are you based on your mom’s brother’s girlfriend’s interior design style.

2. Lay on your floor and contemplate life.

How does time work?

3. Watch a dog reunite with owner videos on YouTube

4. Go online shopping.

Start with practical things like clothes and fall slowly into the rabbit hole, ending up purchasing an Australian flag.

5. Take a nap.

6. Look up how to do really simple things like “how to make toast” or “how to put on a pillowcase” just to see what kind of tutorials are out there.

7. Do a facemask. Or two. Or ten.

8. Google Earth your house. Show it to everyone around you. Ask to see their house.

9. Contemplate how long it will actually take you to get your studying done.

10. Go on Facebook and check in on all of your good friends that you haven’t spoken to in nine months.

11. Log some hours on Candy Crush.

12. Revisit your childhood by re-watching every Selena Gomez, Hannah Montana, and Hilary Duff music video.

13. Plan your Halloween costumes for the next five years.

14. Take a shower. Put on a concert in the shower.

15. Build a fort. Decide you don’t like it and tear it down only to rebuild it. Make blueprints for the fort.

16. Use all of your swipes on Tinder.

17. Read all of your junk mail. Get irrationally upset that you missed the sale Abercrombie had two months ago even though you haven’t stepped foot in an Abercrombie in years.

18. Learn the lyrics to Cardi B’s new album.

19. Take Sporcle quizzes.

Which Friends character said what? Words that rhyme with “doug”?

20. Work on your crying on demand skills.

21. Check your bank account. That could help with your crying on demand skills.

22. Plant a tree.

23. Call your parents and dodge all of the questions they ask about your grades.

24. Stalk everyone you’ve ever known on Twitter and Instagram.

25. Write a screenplay.

26. Spend an hour trying to find a Postmates coupon code for free delivery. Order the food without a coupon code.

27. Watch every Snapchat story on the discover page.

28. Browse Craigslist.

29. Plan an expensive vacation that you definitely can’t afford.

30. Make a Spotify playlist for everything you’ve ever done or will do.

A playlist for brushing your teeth? Done. A playlist for when you’re waiting for your ramen to cook? Done. A playlist for when the plane lands in the exotic destination you picked for your vacation? Done.

31. Watch ridiculous makeup tutorials you have no interest in recreating.

32. Make a really pretty list of all the things you need to get done.

33. Look up spoilers to movies and TV shows you’ve always been vaguely interested in but will probably never watch.

34. Shop RedBubble for new laptop stickers.

35. Purge your clothes and sell half your closet on Poshmark.

36. Go on a run. Regret it after ten steps.

37. Go to the grocery store and buy every kind of boxed Mac N Cheese. Conduct experiments to figure out which one is best.

38. Buy rollerblades and teach yourself to rollerblade.

39. Watch documentaries about very obscure things.

A Montana town’s journey to opening their first BBQ place? A classic.

40. Memorize the presidents.

41. Devise a scheme to “casually” run into and consequently fall in love with Timothee Chalamet.

42. Do the same for Harry Styles.

43. Relive your glory days by looking at photos of yourself in middle school. Always good for a laugh.

44. Play M.A.S.H. Plan your future.

45. Shop for dogs on the Humane Society website. Throw care to the wind and adopt one.

46. Make an Instagram and Twitter for your new dog. Develop its social media presence.

47. Give yourself bangs.

48. Photoshop yourself into photos with your favorite celebrities.

49. Investigate what everyone else on your floor is doing. Spend at least ten minutes with each person.

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. 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.
