So, school is starting back. I know, I can't believe it either. When you think about school beginning again, it's highly likely that you have mixed emotions about it. Personally, I can't wait to be back on campus with my friends. It will be so nice to be going out on the weekends, watching movies with pals, and moving into a brand new dorm room with unlimited decorative possibilities. However, I sure wish that the homework, exams, and tears could be put on hold. I'm sure you feel the same way I do about the new year, but luckily some good jams will make the whole process much less painful. Here's some of my favorite songs at the moment that will carry you through studying, parties, and working out.

1. For your workout.

It's the beginning of a new year, and this means a clean slate. It's time to get back in touch with those fitness goals you set for yourself over the summer, and attack your health and wellness with new vigor. This can be the year that you take control of your physical health, and these songs will help pump you up!

"Too Good" // Drake ft. Rihanna

"Don't Mind" // Kent Jones

"Really? Yeah!" // Kyle

"Really Really" // Kevin Gates

"Nightshift" // Pryde

2. For those all-nighters.

It's inevitable that one night this year you will find yourself staying up until the wee hours of the morning cramming for an exam or writing a research paper. When the caffeine just isn't enough, these songs will give you a boost.

"The Princess Diaries Waltz" (From the Soundtrack) // John Debney

"Sleeping in My T-Shirt" // Zak Waters

"Love on The Brain" // Rihanna

"Better" // Kyle Dion

"Prisoner" // Jordan Bratton ft Chance the Rapper

3. For your nights with gal pals.

It's super important to maintain your friendships at school, even if homework and exams make you want to hole up in a corner and be alone. This girl power playlist will make time with pals super fun!

"Sit Still, Look Pretty" // Daya

"Needed Me" // Rihanna

"Side to Side" // Ariana Grande ft Nicki Minaj

"Cool Girl" // Tove Lo

"Me Too" // Meghan Trainor

4. For motivation.

Without fail, there will be some days when you just feel like you can't keep going. A test may have ruined your day, or you might have experienced a subtle snub from a friend. No matter the stressor, these songs will get you back on track!

"Lunatic" // Andry Grammer

"Once in a While" // Timeflies

"You Gotta Be" // Des'ree

"Must Have Done Something Right" // Reliant K

"Satisfied" // Crystal Lewis

5. For parties.

Nothing helps quell the week's stress like dancing the night away with friends on the weekend. These songs will make you instantly cooler!

"Broccoli" // D.R.A.M. ft. Lil Yachty

"Controlla" // Drake

"For Free" // DJ Khaled ft. Drake

"I'm About to Catch a Body" // Dreezy - Xtra Remix

"On Purpose" // Dougie F ft. 40 Cobras

I know that school - and the work that comes with it - starting back can be a bit of a drag, but hopefully these tunes make it all a little bit better. Let me know if there's any songs you think I left off! Happy listening and good luck with school! Crush it.

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.

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.
