Maybe it was the rain all week. Maybe it was all the midterm exams I've had back to back. It could've even been the dark mood I've noticed in everyone around me. Whatever the reason for it, I've been feeling down lately. I've been reminiscing on bad events in my past and dueling on things I have no control over. Nothing feels important anymore and everything looks dull... boring even. The only thing that has been able to make me feel better and get me out of my funk was these 21 songs below. Music has always been my outlet for all things in life.

Whether I'm cheerful, devastated, or just furious, there has always been a song out there for me. A song that can twist my emotions into something lighter or better than what I was feeling before. Or a song that can make everything come into perspective and not make me feel alone anymore. Music is the only thing in this enormous miserable world that has ever understood me completely. Hopefully, these 21 songs can help you too if you're ever feeling down. Happy listening everyone and remembers it will get better!

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.

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.
