6 Small Things To Purchase For Your Happiness

Please don't do what I do and buy things to avoid your problems.

However, I will say that whoever said money can't buy you happiness was a liar. There are small things you can get to perk you up a little, lighten your spirits and brighten your day. I'm not saying spend your entire paycheck at once, that's dangerous. BUT, I am saying sometimes needing a pick-me-up is one hundred percent OK!

Please don't go all Willy Wonka and The Chocolate factory on me, but I think a small, sweet, sugary snack at times can bring you a smile. I know they have the cheap little bags of chocolate. Or maybe buy yourself some Starbursts or Skittles.

Journal

It's a great place to reflect on your day, say what you're thankful for, jot down your goals, hopes and dreams. Or maybe you just want to doodle, which is perfectly acceptable too! Either way, having a place to collect your thoughts is very crucial to your happiness. Knowing what you want and having a place to look at those goals and see if you're actively achieving them makes achieving them seem more possible.

Hair Clips/Ties/Scrunchies/Headbands

Okay, these are so cheap but having a new scrunchie to go with each of your outfits can really change your outlook on the day. It's a small accessory, some might even think unimportant. However, it can add a little pop to your outfit and that pop might be what you need to take your day from good to great. And there are so many cool, multicolored headbands now that you can really find something that will stand out.

Stickers!

You can always get some cool stickers to put on your notebooks/computers/water bottles/etc. They really say so much about your interests and your personality without you having to say much of anything. And they are certainly inexpensive.

Nail Polish

If you get a whole entire manicure, that's always great, but even if you can't I think that buying a new shade of nail polish and then applying it is a great way to pick up your spirits and have something to look down at and say, "I did that!" Also, people are gonna give you hella compliments and if you're into that, that's a great way to get there.

New Soap

Taking care of your hands is important. I think every so often finding a new soap scent that also makes your hands feel clean and soft will make you want to wash them even more. Besides, killing germs while smelling nice is everyone's dream, right?

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.
