Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and you may be wishing you were in a relationship, you might hate this holiday or you may be in love with yourself enough not to hate it. Regardless, it's another holiday that’s supposed to make women feel beautiful and loved by receiving flowers, a teddy bear and chocolate from a significant other. I am here to tell you that you do not need a man in your life to make you feel special. You deserve to be happy, love yourself for who you are, without anyone having to bring you flowers to prove it to you. This Valentines Day do not get sad or wish you were the girl getting a huge teddy bear from a guy, be the woman that can make herself happy. Here are a few things you could do this Valentines Day:

Sweets: Go out and buy your favorite sweets. Whether it's chocolate, candy, ice cream or whatever else you might love, go out and buy some for your special night.

Adventure: What do you really enjoy doing but do not seem to find enough time to do it? Whatever it is, make the time today to complete it. You deserve it.

Get creative. If your daily schedule consists of school, work, sleep and nothing else, it is time to change your schedule for a day. Call a friend to go grab drinks or dinner. Go see a family member you have not seen in awhile. Go draw or paint a picture of your favorite animal, or the first thing that pops in your head when you think of art. It does not matter how well or horrible you draw, just do it.

Turn off your phone. Enjoy a quiet or fun night to yourself or how you chose. Just stay off social media, at least till the next morning.

Stop thinking. Stop thinking about your friend that is probably going on a date, stop thinking about wanting to be in a relationship and just enjoy a night for yourself and what you love to do.

Girl’s night. Grab your group of girl friends that do not have any plans, go out into town, have a movie night and enjoy chocolate, have a glass of your favorite wine or do something crazy everyone will enjoy.

Most importantly, have patience and love yourself while the right significant other is making his or her way into your life. Stop pretending to be someone that you are not, wishing you were someone else, or wishing you could change something about yourself; you do not need anyone to make you feel beautiful. Self-love is one of the most important concepts everyone needs to learn. We may never know the reasons why we were given the life we have, but we need to enjoy every minute of it, not worrying about things we cannot change. Love yourself, you are beautiful in your own unique way.

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.
