With Spring semester in full swing, life can get a bit overwhelming! It can be hard to balance classes, clubs, and all of the extra things in your life! Here are a few ways to stay ahead on assignments and never miss a beat.

Make a To-Do List

Giphy

This may seem like an obvious tip, but it really does help! Seeing everything that you need completed for a day and being able to check things off as you go allows you to take control of your day and visibly see your progress!

"Change" the due date!

Giphy

A trick that I like to use to stay ahead on assignments for my classes is write the due dates for assignments as a day or a couple days ahead of the actual date! This allows things to be done early, and it creates extra time if things don't go as planned!

Plan ahead for events.

Giphy

Being a part of a club or athletic team comes with extra events and such that may create an obstacle for you when it comes to getting assignments done or studying. One way to avoid any conflicts with this is to look ahead and plan when you can make up for the lost time BEFORE the event so that you can stay ahead! This can also help prevent last-minute cramming or rushing through assignments!

Get things done in the morning.

Giphy

One thing that I try to do everyday is to get my assignments and studying done in the morning, in between classes or before dinner. This allows me to check the things off of my to-do list early on, and it gives me ample free time to do what I want at night! This is a great tip for anyone who works or has lots of extracurriculars in the evenings!

Get enough sleep!

Giphy

Getting enough sleep provides so many benefits to not only your health, but also the things you do! With enough sleep, getting up in the morning isn't as difficult (for most people), you're awake and ready to get things done ~in the morning~, and the things you do will most likely be of higher quality because you won't be as tired!!

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.
