2017 Bucket List
CKC

1. Be More Open to Opportunities

Do something you wouldn't normally do! Whether that is taking a dance class, trying a new food, or saying yes more often, you will build some great memories by being open to opportunities.

2. Teach Yourself Something

Whether you are learning a new language or neuroscience, it is always valuable to open up a book and teach yourself something that school, work, or everyday life is not going to teach you.

3. Live a Healthier Lifestyle

Practice yoga, drink more smoothies, or get a gym membership! You will feel better as soon as you start making healthier lifestyle choices.

4. Meet New People

You never know when and where you will meet a new friend, whether it be the mailman you greet every day, or a stranger in a coffee shop. The best friendships happen unexpectedly, and it is amazing what you can learn by striking up a conversation with a new person.

5. Volunteer Your Time

Help out at an animal shelter, serve food at a soup kitchen, or tutor at your local school. Volunteering feels great and it is a nice way to give back to the community and help those in need.

6. Practice Compassion

The world becomes a better place when you treat others with love and kindness. Practicing compassion will help you to thrive as a person and help others in the process.

7. Choose Positivity

When you chose a positive outlook, and have an optimistic view of the world, your life can change. You will feel happier, and take the good out of every situation.

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.
