Back to school season is here! Whether your a college student or a high school student. Back to school is all fun until you actually have to do the work. For some classes, assignments start the day before or the day of classes. For some back to school is a time to reflect on methods of coping, studying and goal setting that worked the previous year, For others it is a time to start fresh and just do the best one can do. However, where ever you stand in the spectrum, it can never hurt to know about ten essentials that you need to invest in and be successful this upcoming semester!

1. Planner!

A laptop can save you from hand aches, and it also is the fastest way to get down all the notes. Some might argue this isn't the most effective way to learn, but its the most convenient way!

3. USB- Saves lives!

Ever encounter a moment where you accidentally deleted a file that was important? Perhaps due in the next hour? Well, a USB can save your life. Always save your work to a USB, even if you think you won't be needing the assignment anymore.

4.  Yeah, You Still Need Pencils!

In college either your so used to taking notes on a laptop or by hand with a pen. You think you wouldn't be needing pencils. However, always pack a couple in case of a final, or a test. Don't be that person who goes around asking for one!

5. Chargers will save you!

Never, never leave the house without your chargers. Not everyone needs to learn the hard way! So do yourself a favor and always pack up your chargers!

6.  Water Bottle

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.

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.
