Everyone needs some tips on how to get their sh!t back together after letting it fall apart for a minute and here are some of my personal tips on how to do so. Be aware that these might not work for everyone but it’s always fun to try it out and test the waters

1. First of all, remind yourself it’s okay to feel like sh!t


So you’ve hit a low point in your life, but it’s okay, come to terms with it. Because sometimes you need to realize its not just you and that it’s everyone.

2. Secondly, be pissed off for a second at what put you here in the first place.


But don’t hold on to it… There’s a difference between a second and a week. Try the 5x5 rule: if it won't matter in five years, then don’t spend more than five minutes worrying about it.

3. Then go pet a dog for your own sake


If this doesn’t help, then start over or please get help because dogs are a key to helping you bounce back.

4. F that bank account and treat yourself to something


Sounds risky, I know but seriously. Taking care of you and treating yourself is so IMPORTANT. If I never started this then I would be feeling like sh!t about 90% of the time that I'm living.

5. Girl hit the gym and look in the mirror while doing so for a good hour or two to boost that confidence of yours


I know you probably don't want to by any means, but this can probably be a very important factor to bouncing back. It depends on you though. But from my own perspective, just doing something so simple like cardio or a small set of leg workouts will make you feel so much better about yourself.

6. Go to a party with your gal pals and have a little too much to drink

Yes, I know drinking is horrible for you but I’m not telling you to overdo it and binge drink. Just go out and have a few to loosen yourself up if you’re feeling down and not like you.

7. Do your makeup and be a bad b*tch so you can stunt on those who put you down


Use your most expensive makeup and beat your face like a pro because I know you probably can. This also helps your confidence and just imagine how great it would feel to take a nice selfie after feeling like sh!t. Honestly, this is one of my most used methods ever, even if I don’t go anywhere after applying it.

8. Finally, just remember that you have time


Remember that you have plenty of time to bounce back and if you get your head straight then you will get there sooner than you think. It does take a lot but you’re probably doing great, so please keep doing you.

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.

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.
