As I have gotten older, I have tried to set realistic resolutions that I want to accomplish for the new year.

While some people may make fun of the idea of having a list of resolutions for the new year, I think that it is a good idea to set up positive and realistic goals that can be accomplished if you put your mind to it. Here are my New Years resolutions for 2018.

1. Eat Healthier

For the majority of 2017, I haven't been eating the healthiest. Especially in the beginning of the year, I was in my first year of college away from home and my diet consisted of nothing but junk food and ramen noodles to finish off the day. This year, I want to make sure that I eat better and fuel my body with healthy foods.

2. Work Out

I gained more weight than I would have liked during 2017 so my goal for 2018 is to lose the extra weight I gained. Also, I want to improve my strength and going to the gym and working out seems like it would have a positive influence on my health and my life in general.

3. Figure out my plans after college

This is probably the biggest and most important one on my list. Figuring out, career-wise, what I want to do after I graduate college in May is something that I want to figure out this year. Going on as many job interviews as possible and hopefully landing the perfect first "real" job.

4. Learn how to save my money

This is something that my entire life I have failed to do properly. The second I would get a paycheck, I would spend it all immediately. For this year, I want to try and put aside money to save up for when I really need something on the expensive side and not spend all of my money at once.

5. Stop Procrastinating

I save everything until the very last second. Seriously, it's horrible. Although my excuse is always, "diamonds are made under pressure", it isn't the best excuse in prolonging assignments that were assigned weeks ago and doing them a couple hours before they are due.

6. Reduce stress

I stress and worry about anything and everything possible. This year, I want to make sure that I take more time in making sure I am cool, calm, and collected instead of being stressed out all of the time.

7. Focus on myself more

I tend to worry about others more than I worry about myself. While this can be good, I take it too far and make sure the people I care about the most are getting every ounce of energy out of me, causing me to forget about my own needs and what I need to take care of within my own life. I want this year to be the year where I do focus on myself and my successes before I dive into everyone else's issues.

These 7 things are the main resolutions I have for the year 2018. I hope that I can try my best to succeed with everything on the list and hopefully make the best out of the new year.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
