Tips for the Holiday Season

As you all know (hopefully) Christmas is right around the corner. It's "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." With that being said, I have some things you should keep in mind this holiday season. Everyone has their reasons for the season so whatever that may be, remember that. Christmas is a wonderful holiday where we get together with our family and celebrate whatever it is we celebrate. If you're a fan of the holiday season, cherish the time with your family. Forget about the drama in your life, don't worry about how next semester is going to go, and if you're off work, don't think about it. You're getting older, your family is getting older, and at some point you will be starting your own Christmas traditions with your scrumptious little family...(if and when Prince Charming comes out of hiding). If you already have him, GO YOU!! But anyways, celebrate and enjoy every single second of this holiday season. Be thankful you and your loved ones have made it this far. Some people wish their loved ones could be with them during these times. Talk to your family and learn about family history or tell them things you would like to do when you grow up. Most likely they will be so proud of you and all of your accomplishments.

If you're not a fan of the holiday season, don't be a Grinch. Nobody likes people who kill their vibe. Fake it 'til ya make it! But really, the holidays are fun. Especially in my family. We're all sassy and beat up on each other (in a playful way, of course). At least try to have fun. You never know, the holidays may become one of your favorite times of the year! If not, it only lasts about two days depending on which day you celebrate. Make the best of it!

I truly hope, whether you're a a fan or a Grinch, that you have a blessed Christmas. Cherish the moments, enjoy the times you get to spend with your family. You are luckier than you know.

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.
