Resolutions For The New Year
Huffpost British Columbia

Christmas time is over, and we all know what's next. New Years. New year, new you. 2017 is the year for new resolutions. It's the year to forget about 2016 and lead to the best year yet, 2017. Come New Year's Eve, you'll be asked what your resolutions for the new year are. Sure, they don't always last, but maybe this year will be different. Here is a list of possible resolutions for you to make this year.

1. Excel At Your Job/School

Shoot for that promotion or for that 4.0 GPA.

2. Try Something New

3. Quit An Addiction

Whether that addiction is drugs, alcohol, or food, now is the perfect time to start new and kick it.

4. Lose Weight

I know, I know, this is a resolution that is repeated every year. The gym is full for the first few weeks of January, but why don't we keep it full all of 2017 this time?

5. Go On An Adventure

Whether you're young or old, go and do something you've always wanted to do. It's never too late.

6. If You're A Yes Man, Learn How To Say No

7. Make New Friends

8. Ask Your Crush Out

This is just a suggestion, I can understand if it's not followed through. I might not even follow through.

9. Stop Procrastinating

This one is a hard one. I personally love procrastinating. I find I do my best work under pressure, but with that said, it's probably best to do things ahead of time. Imagine how much more you could get done, how unstressed you'd be. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

10. Become More Confident

Make eye contact with everyone you pass. Smile and talk to them. Being more confident will easily boost your self-esteem. People can see that you're confident, making you more beautiful.

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.
