Tips To Help You Stay With Your New Years Resolution
Kaique Rocha

Almost everyone makes a New Years Resolution. Whether it's to go to the gym more, eat better, read more, or anything in between. But, usually, by mid-February, most people fall off the wagon.This is generally because the goals they choose are too broad, or have no time limit. Here are ways that will help you stick to your resolution.

1. Make sure to specify exactly what you want.

Instead of saying "I want to lose weight," say "I want to lose 15 pounds." It's more specific, which helps keep you on track.

2. Make it a realistic goal.

If you want to go to the gym more, but work every day, then going to the gym twice a day won't work. Make sure your goal is realistic and fits into your life. Not having a realistic goal also makes it hard to stay motivated when you cant keep up.

3. Set a time limit.

If you want to lose weight, make sure you specify how much, but also by when. While your time may not be set in stone, since life does happen, it can help you reach milestones, and help you know where in your progress you should/want to be. So say- "I want to lose 15 pounds by December 12th."

4. Tell someone.

Now that you have told someone, it will keep you responsible for staying on track.

5. Create an inspiration board.

To help you say motivated.

6. But don't feel bad when you slip up, it happens to everyone.

Just start new the next day and try again! Good luck!

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.
