Move in day is lingering in the near future, and it is time to decide how you want the year to go. Starting good habits from the beginning can help you make this your best year yet. It has hard to stay on top of things when the year is in full swing, and it is even harder to turn over a new leaf when the stress of the new year is getting to you. That is why you have to start right and turn good habits into your daily routine. When you can be on the outside of the school year looking in, like you are right now, it is easier to come up with ways that you can make the year better; it is easier to come up with a plan for success, and implement it from the start, when you can make the changes from the beginning. Dedicate time and effort to setting yourself up for success and making this year great. Here are 10 things you should focus on to make this year great:

1. Meal prep

Lunch is much easier, cheaper and quicker when you have it planned out and prepared early in the week.

2. Set a consistent morning alarm and go to bed early

If you train your body to get a good night's rest but wake up at an early time, you will get a much better start to the day.

3. Build a workout routine

Set a well-rounded routine that promotes wellness for your whole body

4. Keep your resumé up to date

Don't fall behind on keeping your resumé and cover letter current; you will want to stay on top of it so you are always prepared.

5. Get a job/internship

Don't overwhelm yourself, but get involved with a position that will help guide your future.

6. Don't procrastinate - stick to a schedule

If you build time into your schedule for each class, you will make it easier on yourself to always commit to finishing your homework in a timely manner.

7. Let loose occasionally

You need to allow yourself to have fun and blow off some steam. However you like to do that, be sure to allow yourself breaks.

8. Read for fun

Your brain needs a break from your studies, too. Read something purely because it is fun; it will help you break away from reality for a little while.

9. Keep your space clean

Stay organized so you can come home to a refreshing, comfortable space without overwhelming clutter.

10. Keep a journal

You need an outlet for your honest thoughts and feelings. Keep a journal to help keep your mind refreshed and get things off your chest. Plus, it can be nice to look back on in the future.

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.
