New Year's Resolutions Are Never Stupid, And You Should Never Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise

Ahh, the new year. It is a very exciting time for most, and for many, it comes with a few to-dos for the year to better them as a person. A lot of people come out of the woodwork online and complain about resolutions, saying how they are dumb and if you want to better yourself you should just do it instead of using the new year as motivation. I'm here to tell you that's bullshit. You should use whatever you want as motivation to better yourself. Make a list of what you want to do this year, make it your goal. Complete as many things as you possibly can.

New year, new you, same you, an upgraded version of you, whatever you want to be! Making new years resolutions is a way to refresh yourself and push yourself to move forward with your own personal growth. If you need it to be a new year for you to up your game, let it be!

If you can motivate yourself in March or October or any other time to just change who you are then great for you! But telling others that the way they choose to better who they are and learn to love themselves more is wrong, isn't okay. Maybe YOUR new year's resolution should be to be less of an asshole and support your friends, family, or even strangers to work on who they are however and whenever they see fit.

So what if someone else wants to lose weight, get more organized, or find their soul mate? Whatever it is they want to do, and whenever they want to do it, let them be. It's 2019 people, it's past time we start letting everyone be themselves without question, comment or concern from anyone else.

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.
