With roughly two months of 2020 left, it is safe to say that there is no clear end in sight when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the weather begins to get colder, we will once again find ourselves spending more time inside. With that being said, if you're searching for purchases to refresh your quarantine space and help keep things interesting, look no further.

New Bedding

I don't know about anyone else, but I spent quite a bit of time in my bed watching Netflix back in March and April. A few months later, I was moving into a new apartment and decided to buy new sheets, new pillows, and even a new mattress. Though you don't need all of the above to help refresh your bedroom style in quarantine, consider buying a new duvet or comforter in a fun color to brighten your room and brighten your mood.

Plants

If you don't have the space for an all-out garden, I would highly recommend buying some flowers or succulents to place around your home. Plants are such a low maintenance addition to your space, but a pop of greenery here and there will surely lift your spirits and keep your home looking fresh.

If you're planning to spend your time at home within these winter months, make sure to allow for some time to be spent in the kitchen. If you don't already have one, I recommend purchasing a crockpot for this next round of quarantine. There are plenty of delicious recipes that can be made with a crockpot, and the aromas will give your home a very cozy feeling. If a crockpot isn't your cup of tea, I would recommend purchasing an air fryer. With an air fryer, you can cook many healthy alternatives to your favorite snacks and meals, leaving you with little cleanup and a full stomach.

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.
