Every year around this time, people make lists of things they want to accomplish in the new year. Sometimes though, they can be too unrealistic and never get checked off.

This list is short, so that not only makes it much easier, but the goals are also realistic and can be accomplished with the right mindset. Especially for college students with almost no discipline.

1. Get More Involved 

One thing that I've really struggled with since I college started is getting involved. Sometimes it's really easy to just fall into your own routine and forget what it's like to be apart of something, but there are so many different organizations in college it's hard not to find at least one club.

2. Make Your Spring 2020 Semester Grades The Best You've Had

Grades aren't the defining factor of college, and they certainly don't define you. Whether making the Deans List is your goal, or just getting off academic probation is, as long you are applying yourself and making the marks you're happy with then that's all that really matters.

3. Reserve One Day For Homework And Studying

It's really easy to fall behind in classes, but I find if I take one day out of the week to just sit down and look at each of my classes syllabus, I tend to stay more organized and keep my grades up. It also keeps you accountable to study if you already have one day dedicated to it.

4. Try To Eat Normally

One thing I am most certain of since starting college is that my diet went to absolute hell. The combination of one dining hall meal a day/ my parents not cooking for me anymore really put my body through a lot. While it might be typical to try and eat healthier for New Years, right now focusing on just eating three square meals a day is all we can try for.

Create A Budget For Yourself

When living on your own, you may find yourself having to pay for things you would have never considered before. Just going to the store for groceries for cleaning supplies can rack up a lot of cash. Creating a budget for yourself to stay on top of where your money goes can be really helpful, and save you a lot in the long run.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
