I currently have one foot through the door of the beautiful Spring 2018 semester. Although the single-digit temperatures tempt me EVERY morning just to stay in bed, the little voice in my head whispering "get a 4.0" usually wins over. So, with a will-powered mindset, welcome to the procrastinator's guide to procrastination!

Pro Tip 1: Nap guide

ALWAYS make sure you start your work before you take a nap. Falling asleep with a book in your bed usually helps make yourself feel like you at least attempted to do something productive.

Pro Tip 2: Set alarms

If you are planning on napping or relaxing for a bit of time, make sure you set some alarms. These will sound and tell you when it is time to get down to business. Sometimes you just silence them and continue napping, but at least you set them in the first place, right?

Pro Tip 3: The final key

Self-encouragement! Reward yourself for reading a chapter with, like, 5,000 calories of snacks, a long food-coma nap and maybe some Netflix as well. It is ALL about self-motivation!

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
