Face it, we've all had people cancel plans with us sometime or another. Sometime's aren't as bad as other times. But what do you do when you were really looking forward to hanging out with a friend and they bail on you? Instead of freaking out and going to bed (like we want to do). Here's what you should do.

Go work out

Go to the gym and burn off some steam! Nothing will make you feel better than working out physically, mentally, and spiritually. What better way in saying "Hey you're a crappy friend" than going to the gym and working on becoming better.

Hangout with someone else

Call up that long lost friend that you haven't seen in a while and see if they want to go see that new movie that just came out. Make sure to add that your friends bailed on you to make them feel bad.

Go talk to your mom or dad

No matter what happens with you and your friends, your parents will always be on your side. They will make you feel better and probably cook you food if you tell them your friends bailed. Then they'll tell you how they've never liked that friend anyways.

Eat yourself to happiness

Go grab yourself your favorite snack and watch your favorite show on Netflix. I know it's not as fun and as hanging out with your friends would've been but they bailed, so they suck.

Go do whatever you were going to do with them, by yourself

Being in college I've learned that its cool to be by yourself and do things by yourself. You can go eat by yourself, shop by yourself and see a movie by yourself. Who needs anyone else when you have yourself? Anyone who judges you for being by yourself is missing out on life because being by yourself is great.

Although your friend just bailed on you, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they really did have something else important to do, or maybe they really didn't feel well. I'm not saying to stop being friends with them because they bailed, I'm saying don't get all worked up and upset on them bailing. There will be other times when they won't bail and you'll do whatever it is that you want to do.

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.
