The 10 Best (And Worst) Things About Spring
milicapesicblog.files.wordpress.com

Ah, spring. Everyone looks forward to it after the frigid winter. There's finally life outside, and yet there's more life than you would sometimes like. So, here's the best and worst events of spring.

The Worst

1. Bugs

Whether it's cute caterpillars before they become butterflies or that annoying buzzing sound in your ear, bugs are the worst part of spring. Forget about going anywhere with flowers; the bugs are there too, buzzing around and ruining your buzz of spring.

2. Pollen

Yellow dust that follows you everywhere. You want to wash your car? Might as well forget about it until June. There's not point when it's going to be tinted yellow the next day. Don't even get me started on allergies!

3. Tourists

Being from a tourist town, spring break can be the worst. There are new people everywhere. More cars, more traffic, more people, more anger and more road rage. Is it necessary to read the map every two seconds, or could you move to the side and actually make your way across the street?

4. Heat

We didn't like the cold in winter, but once it starts to get warm, it stays warm. And then it starts to get hot and uncomfortable. If you haven't made it home for spring break, then you don't have any clothes for it, and nobody likes to sweat that much.

5. Trips

Family vacations. Sometimes they're fun, and sometimes being stuck in the back of the car with your siblings makes you want to stab yourself in the eyes for entertainment.

The Best

1. Warm sunny days

Although sometimes the heat can become too much, nothing beats that perfect day with a nice breeze and clear skies. Perfect weather for the beach, a hammock or any outdoor activity.

2. Spring break

Nothing beats a week off of school in the middle of the semester. You've just made it past midterms and now you finally get some time to go home, get some home cooked food and see your friends.


3. Pretty campuses

Although pollen is a pest, walking through a blooming campus is one of the prettiest things there is in college. With flowers blooming on trees, bushes and in the ground, everywhere is color and happiness.


4. Adventures

There's finally the weather where if you see something on a road trip, you can take a minute to go on an adventure -- whether the adventure is around campus or going through a new field of wildflowers.

5. One step closer to summer

Nothing beats the fact that spring is one step closer to summer. You've made it through three quarters of a school year, and that last quarter is the only thing separating you from the vacations and tanning time!

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.
