Top 6 Self-Care Tips For The New School Year

Now that the school year is starting back up again, I'm sure a lot of you are worried about handling all the school work you're going to have to deal with. Unfortunately, you can't escape doing your work, but you can follow these easy steps to de-stress after a long week!

1. Try a face mask

Face masks are always something that makes me feel better when I'm stressed and they give your skin a nice glow! When you look good, you feel better - it's science.

2. Make time for friends and family

Giphy

It's important, especially during the busy school year, to remember to spend time with your friends and family. Taking a break from your work and socializing with people you care about can do a lot to relieve stress during a busy time when it's easy to get caught up in just doing work.

3. Organize your time

Giphy

Using a planner to organize what you have to do that week is an easy way to make your life less stressful. I used to never write anything down and always worried about forgetting something I had due in one of my classes. When I started making a list of what I had to get done, it kept me on track and I procrastinated less. Also, I got a sense of accomplishment from checking off the things I'd gotten done.

4. Buy new clothes before the school year begins

Creating a new look for a new school year is always fun to do, and you can use your new clothes to express the person you want to be.

5. Listen to music

Just relaxing and listening to my favorite songs helps me to relax when I'm stressed out. It's important to remember that the most simple things really do work!

6. Make more time for yourself 

Giphy

Finally, remember to make time for just yourself. Whether it's taking a bubble bath, reading a good book, or finally binging that Netflix show you swore you'd start, just make sure to treat yo' self.

Have a great year!

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.

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.
