6 Tips To Have A Better Day

Some days are awesome and some days are what feel like the worst day of our lives. No matter what the reason is for your sucky day, there are some tips/tricks to turn your day around.

1. Wake up and write

I have personally discovered that waking up in the morning and writing in my journal has motivated me to have a great day right off the bat. Whether you are writing down what you are thankful for, your goals/accomplishments, or your to-do list, this will set your day up in a positive way.

2. Make breakfast

This is a tip that many people have heard others say before. Not only does breakfast help you start your day in a healthy and satisfied way, but it does not leave you HANGRY. Trust me, being hungry is not how you want to start your day and usually when you start your day feeling hungry, it is hard to turn that around. So set your alarm clocks earlier than usual or make breakfast the night before so that way you can just heat it up quick and easy.

3. Turn up that music


Driving to school, work, social events, meetings and millions of more things can be a drag. No one wants to sit in a car for hours every day dealing with rude people beeping and flicking us the finger. Instead of making a daily ritual something to complain about, try and enjoy the "you" time that you get while being behind the wheel. I have found that making a playlist for my car ridges makes me enjoy driving that much more and keeps my day on a positive note.

4. Treat yourself

Throughout the day we can get so distracted with our schedule that we forget to take care of yourselves. I have found that treating myself with little pleasures that make me happy no matter how big or small, like getting coffee for example, keep my day shining bright.


5. Get up and move

Not only is excising great for your health and body, but it is amazing for your mental health as well! Exercising allows all of those endorphins to release which literally causes people to be happier. No matter how long/what exercise you chose to do, your body and mind will thank you for it. Starting your day or ending your day with this will help your day start/end on a positive note!

6. Find "YOU" time

The last and final tip for having a positive day is to find time for yourself. You have worked hard all day and its time to reward yourself with the love and attention you need. So pop open that bottle of wine, take a bath, binge-watch netflix, and enjoy YOU time.

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.
