I don’t know about you guys, but the whole having to stay inside thing has been driving me nuts, and it’s been very hard for me to not lose my ever-living mind. I’ve come up with a few things to district myself


“Let Go” Plates

During this time, we all have plenty of time to reflect on our lives, and things we’ve been through. Get a plate and a sharpie. Write down things you need to work on, fix, or any worries you may have on that plate. Then, go outside and smash that plate to represent you “letting go.” I did this with a friend of mine, and it was an amazing feeling


Cook

Food has always been on our minds during times of not doing anything. Find new recipes, and try new foods you never have before. This is the perfect time to do that! We have all the time in the world it feels like, so branch out!


Get into new music

I have seemed to get really tired of listening to the same music over and over every day for the last week, and I’m sure there’s more out there experiencing the same. So, find some new music to listen to! Maybe a genre you didn’t think you’d like, give it a try and I’m sure you’ll end up finding a new favorite song in the process!


Bible Study


Spending time in Gods word is so relaxing and can open your eyes as to what is happening in our world right now. Reading the bible and studying the Gospel will provide an outlet that won’t only distract you, but grow your relationship and faith in Christ.


Exercise


I know, the more you want to exercise, it seems as if you grow to not have enough time. But, there’s no classes, no hanging out with friends, no shopping, nothing. No excuses now! find a new workout routine to get you ready for the day this whole mess is over with.



At the end of the day, this isn’t a fun time to be a student. Try your best to remain positive! It is gonna be a while before the world around us feels normal again, but we will get through it. I promise you that!

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.
