What Your New Years Plans Say About You

How will you bring in the new year?

What Your New Years Plans Say About You

Extreme Procrastinator.

You thrive under pressure, especially when you have two fleeting hours until those dinner plans you just made the reservation for. That's enough time to find a satin velvet dress, knee high boots, a velvet choker, and a vintage leather handbag, right? While most would utter in panic, you do this sh*t for a living. A hasty one-to-two hour shopping spree, plus one hour of getting ready, is a success, always.

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs.

2017 is upon us. You are determined to drop those flabby arms and stomach in the new year. Before then, you have just 24 hours to devour every calorie-based item in sight. That's right, the seven layer brownie sundae on the menu will be indulged, and you will enjoy it. Hurry fast, because by noon the next day, carrots and crackers will devastatingly be your new go-to. That is, until your diet is cut short due to a withdrawal of succulent dinners and desserts. Will-power, people.

Booze and chill.

What other way to bring in the new year than belligerently chug an entire 30-case of coors light with friends in a high school acquaintances basement? Nothing sounds quite more alarming than a bunch of 20-somethings frolicking around a house as if they are back in a grimy and unsanitary fraternity house. Hey, at least you and your wallet will be satisfied in the morning.

Nightlife clubs/bars.

What does New Years Eve and the Big Apple have in common? A sh*t ton of celebration and regret. Going out clubbing is a big price to pay for an evening that reminds you why you're spending your week's worth paycheck in the first place. One, you overlook the past achievements you have not made this year, and would rather drown out your sorrow with sweaty strangers and a massive hangover in the morning. Furthermore, your love life is in despair and the desperation for a hook-up is in full gear. Don't worry about blacking out, though. You'll have a documented 100-second snapchat story you will puzzle back together the following day.

Your bed.

Forget champagne showers and one-night stands. All you need are dim lights, a tub of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice cream, two melatonin, and a live HD viewing of New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, and you have yourself one rowdy night.

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.
