5. I Don't Care by Ariana Grande

In this slowed down R&B vibe record from her sophomore album 'Dangerous Woman', Grande sings about not caring what others think of her anymore. "Used to let some people tell me how to live and what to be, but if I can't be me then f**ks the point" she belts. The song teaches the importance of being okay with making decisions for yourself, without caring about what anybody thinks. An important step for those of us still trying to fully love ourselves.

4. Happy by Marina and the Diamonds

My junior year of high school, after a seven-hour school day and a six-hour drama rehearsal, I was feeling super down on myself in the worst possible way. I got to my room, pressed shuffle on my phone, and immediately started balling my eyes out as this began to play. "So now you know, you know it all, that I've been desperately alone". As the song ended, I wiped my tears and felt insanely better. That song helped me cope through the bad times when I didn't love myself.

3. Home by Diana Ross (From 'The Wiz')

In 2015, when NBC presented 'The Wiz: Live' I was introduced to the song 'Home', a song about discovering where you belong and where or who your home is. In The Wiz, the character of Dorothy leaves searching for home, only to find that she had known all along where her home was. "Living here in this brand new world might be a fantasy. But it taught me to love, so it's real, it's so real to me"

2. Unbreakable Smile by Tori Kelly

I knew from the moment this song was released that it would become a song that helped me see the good when I can only see the bad. Kelly sings about knowing exactly who she is and knowing what her morals are, while exclaiming that no matter what opportunities she is presented with, she will never lose who she is. "La da da da di, you're not breaking me, la di da da da, ain't got time for ya, la da da da di, you're not breaking me, la di da da da, got an unbreakable smile"

1. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld

Of course, number one on the list is the ultimate song about loving yourself, and not needing anyone to validate who you are. Steinfeld's debut single hit the radio in a big way, and ultimately restarted the 'love yourself' brand.

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.
