10 Reasons To Look Forward To The Summer

With the gloomy winter months fully upon us, most are looking forward to those hot summer days and long summer nights. For many, the frigid temperatures and snow covered grounds are completely unappealing and highly unwelcomed. While it may be a bit before summer finally makes its way back into our lives, there is no harm in wishing for the many activities associated with the warmer months. Here are 10 Summer activities we are all looking forward to:

1. Concerts

Arguably the most exciting summer activity, concerts are the epitome of summertime and never fail to produce lasting memories and friendships.

2. Beach days

You simply can not beat a day of relaxing by the beach on a hot summer day. Nothing is more serene than being surrounded by sand and crashing waves.

3. Hiking

Both good for you and fun! A day of hiking offers breathtaking views, exercise and the chance to enjoy all summer has to offer.

4. The Sun

The sun is the lifeblood of summer, providing us with hot summer temperatures and making those days just a little bit longer. Not to mention a great tan!

5. Barbeques and outdoor eating

Nothing says summer like a barbeque with family and friends. Fire up those grills and get ready to eat!

6. Driving

If you're like me and driving is one of you favorite activities, it only gets ten times better in the summer months. There is nothing like a road trip or just a leisurely drive on a warm summer night.

7. Seafood

One of the most essential summer foods, seafood is always a must have during the summer season.

8. Reading

Whether you like to read or not, sitting down with a good book during the summer never fails to be relaxing, particularly when you are pool or beach side.

9. Ice Scream and desserts

Ice cream and desserts simply taste that much better during the summer and it finally becomes socially acceptable to eat them each and every day!

10. FUN!!

There is nothing like those summer months. From friends to fun activities, every summer is special and accompanied by a lifetime of memories and thankfully, it'll be here before you know 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.

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.
