Spring Cleaning... Your Life
Katie Kelley

The birds are singing, bees are buzzing and the flowers are blooming. Hopefully, everything around you is starting to be a little brighter and happier. With that, that means Spring has finally arrived and it's time to say goodbye to a few things. Old clothes, crappy friends and bad habits. Just like that New Years resolution you made just a few months ago... and never completed? Well no need to worry, its time for your new resolution! New spring, New You... Right?

Old Clothes

Spring means warmer weather and warmer weather means bringing back out all of those cute short sleeve tops and those adorable shorts you tucked away last November. Bringing out your old clothes and doing a little shopping means you have to get rid of some old things. Think back to the past couple of cold months and then take a look at your wardrobe... Is there anything you didn't wear? Anything that didn't fit? If so, it's a goner.

Crappy friends

While you're getting rid of those clothes that you didn't need anymore, why don't you get rid of those friends who maybe aren't 'fitting' anymore. It is okay to get rid of friends... Maybe not get rid of but just hide in the back of all your other friends for a while, just like that shirt your mom got you for Christmas that comes around every once in a while, but isn't the best thing you could wear. That crappy friend may be that shirt you never want to take out of the drawer. So why not just get rid of it while you're getting rid of other things? In the long run, it will help you if you take away the crappy friends who just drag you down. Gotta start working on that New You.

Bad Habits

Remember that annoying habit you do when you're nervous? Or when you tell yourself that you're done having late night snacks that include chocolate, ice-cream and your favorite candy? Well the New Spring, New You says no more! It is time to break those habits that you and everyone around you can not stand. It takes 30 days for someone to break a habit and the first day of Spring is today, March 20th. Even if you're reading this a couple days late, if you start changing your bad habits into good habits today, by the end of April, the New You is in full swing.


No one ever said it would be easy to get rid of some clothes you never wear, friends who aren't making you better and habits that no one can stand. But it is time to get your life in shape, summer is fast approaching. Keep in mind that if you get rid of these things now, you won't be wasting your time when summer break is here and you could be sitting outside in the sun. Just keep telling yourself New Spring, New You.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
