Winter Break Boredom Cures

We're in the middle of winter break and it's just like what is this? What do I do? What is life?

Winter Break Boredom Cures

Many of us are at the point of winter break where we question what the break is meant to be and what there is to do. For many of us, it is too cold to leave the house and the thought of bundling up is just too much work. So why not try some of these ideas down below?

1. Watch Parks And Recreation

Or just any show really, but with the student deal Spotify has with Hulu for just $4.99 a month, you should start binge watching now since you have nothing else to do. You complain all semester you have no time to watch a show, well, now you do so get your butt glued to the couch.

2. Plan Your Spring Break Trip

Why not spend your current break to plan your next break? Have you even figured out where to go? With who? To do what? If you answered no to all these then what exactly are you doing? Lay out those blueprints right now!

3. Read Michelle Obama's Book "Becoming"

Honestly you can read any book but let us be real here, Michelle's book is a must right now. I personally love it so much and I haven't even finished it yet. Join the cult of people posting their new book on their Snapchat and Instagram stories.

4. Learn A New Recipe

Why not try cooking something new? There are millions of recipes online for you to find. Try to not burn the kitchen down and cook something yummy (or burnt).

5. Get A Crayola Adult Coloring Kit

My Secret Santa gave me one this year and I love it so much. It is relaxing and a good way to wind down with some music. You can find lots of packs on Amazon for a pretty good price. It is definitely something everyone should buy.

6. Start A Budgeting Plan For The New Year

Giphy

We all love money, we all just need to know how to save it. Start a budget plan for the new year and set a goal amount of money you would like to have at the end of the year. It is definitely a satisfaction having all that money saved at the end of the year.

7. Start Researching Workout Plans (And Stick To Them) 

Giphy

Going to the gym for a month is not enough, so let us try to go all year and see some progress with our health.

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.
