Ariana Grande's new breakup anthem of the year, "thank u, next", is one for the girls and for the books. Throughout the song she thanks all of her exes, Big Sean, Ricky, the late Mac Miller, and her ex-fiancé Pete Davidson with the chorus line of:

"Thank you, next. I'm so f*******g grateful for my ex".

This song really makes a girl think. What have your exes brought into your life? How can you take away the best part of one relationship and bring it into the next one? Or take what you've learned about yourself from a relationship and use it to better yourself?

Does every girl have one great love? Or lots of little ones until one passes the test of time?

The looming relationship questions that come after heartbreak may never end, but here's something you can end:

Stop spending your days sulking over failed relationships, or constantly looking for a new one. This time in your life is for you! To build friendships, to discover yourself, to figure out what mistakes can make you stronger. Every girl's favorite, Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City once said,

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives?"

Let's take our mistakes and turn them into strength, love, and perseverance. At the end of the hit song, Grande realizes that she has one relationship to last and "her name is Ari."

Ariana knows that she has taught herself more love and more patience than any man has. The only person who will be with you through it all is yourself. The more love you put out into the world, the more love will find its way back to you.

So to all the boys, we've ever loved before: Thank you, next.

And once we're ready... We will have another great love to come as our next adventure.

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.
