How to be successful in life?

Most schools don't offer a straight to the facts class on how to be successful. In an age where doing well is such a big thing for most people, in order to live comfortably it's important to pass down the knowledge to those who may not know. In the twenty years of living that I've done I've obviously amassed an enormous amount of information on basically everything so it's practically my civic duty to information-vomit some advice on how to make it in the world. Without further ado here is five tips on how to be successful.


1. Have a Facebook

Being connected to the world is essential. How else will people judge you find you? Make sure that your information is put up so that people can get the best first impression. A really neat bonus tip here is to put down hobbies that you think are cool but you're too lazy or scared to actually do them. "Scaling cliffs is my passion" people will think you're so cool and then want to hire you. You may think that that is lying but this isn't an article on how to not lie so keep reading or stop here.There's nothing more to a person other than what they have on their social media so put a lot of effort into that. When trying to make it into the world just send friend requests to the it-people; role models, possible bosses, and strangers alike. Chances are you found this article through the facebook account you already have so good job you're already part way there.


2. Claim You Have The Job

How cool another tip that involves lying! Pam Halpert made a great move in the show "The Office". When the company was bought out by a larger company and there was confusion on who was the office manager she just said it was her. Claim to have a job because it seems like people are too lazy to check into it further. I know what you're thinking: "Chase that's lying", "This is literally so illegal", "This is terrible advice" or even "I'm hungry". But what you should be thinking is "wow Chase, cool advice thanks" because in case you forgot I basically know everything. I am after all a local expert at the department of knowing human behavior based at the Pentagon.


3. Reject Society

If you frequent my articles you know this is almost always a viable option. Reject society and write your own rules. Live in the wilderness and live by the land, no one can tell you you're a failure if there isn't anyone around. You'll be the most successful person you know if you're the only person you know. The only possible reason you won't be successful is if you die so I'd say the chances are in your favor unless you really suck at camping.


4. Work Really Hard

lol @ my joke


5. Mind Control

Be your own boss as well as everyone else's. Channel all your stress and anxiety into pure mental power to obtain the ultimate control over people. Create your ideal situation and become successful. Of course the down side of this will be you'll never know if people actually like you or if you're forcing them to. But that's the risk you took when you threw away your humanity.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.

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.
