Spring cleaning can be boring, so here are some tips to make it less of a chore.

1. Watch a cleaning video

I don't know about you, but whenever I know, I need to clean. I sit in my room and watch cleaning videos to help motivate me. It helps a bunch so give it a try next time you know you are supposed to clean.

2. Blast your favorite music

This one is the best in my opinion just because I love music and I am sure most of you do too. While you are cleaning just put on your favorite playlist, turn the volume all the way up (be aware of your neighbors), and sing to your heart's content while you do your cleaning.

3. Make piles

Making piles of belongings always helps when I am cleaning because my mind likes to distract itself so having those piles keeps my mind on track, and I can organize easier.

4. Go through your drawers and closet

When you are spring cleaning, it helps to go through your drawers and closet and get rid of clothes that you don't wear or want anymore. There are many people out there who could make better use for those clothes than you could than letting them sit in a drawer or a closet. Just say thank you, next.

Dust, vacuum, and mop.

After you finished getting everything else clean, you just have this last step. This is the most satisfying part for me because it leaves your house or apartment smelling and feeling clean and you also have the satisfaction of cleaning everything. So now you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the spring weather.

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.
