New Year Resolutions That Matter

Can't change yourself in a year but we can use it to get closer

New year new me is complete BS so let's set some realistic "resolutions" that we can possibly make happen. Stop with wanting to go to the gym or other basic goals you've heard about because these need to actually be your own original choices that you'll want to do.

No cleaning your closet is not something you can work an entire year on, go with something like listening to song lyrics more than the noise so you can build a better understanding of it, and doing this trains your mind to focus as well as lifting your mood for a positive outlook of life.

I am going with a theme for my "resolutions"; Positive mind positive life, because why would I spend this entire year being as miserable as I was last year. With that, I want to try (and ultimately fail) a bunch of small cute things that could help. Like drinking tea more often, or voluntarily going on more walks. But enough about my future fails, here's some that could us all:

-pet more dogs

-eat more ice cream

-go to that random party(with trusty friends somewhere that isn't sketchy)

But over all make ourselves happier. We cannot completely change ourselves heart and mind in only 365 days because that's something completely instilled in you but we can use it to get one step closer to the person we want /need to become. So stop forcing it to happen because it will blow up in your face. Reflect back on what happened last year and think about what needs the change and Slowly accomplish what you believe are minor goals, those matter most. So let's kick off this year to our potential selves with a brighter future. The ball is in your court, what do you want to become

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.
