Let's face it, it's summertime and no one wants to be stuck inside at work all week when plenty of other fun things could be happening - road trips, bonfires with friends, and trips to the cottage. While I can't give you a get out of jail free card, these songs will help you last until the weekend.


1. "I'm Alive (Life Sounds Like)" - Michael Franti & Spearhead

Ever heard that song that goes "Say heyyyy, I'll be gone today....I love you, I love you, I love you"? The guy who sings that song also sings this one, called "I'm Alive," and it's just as catchy. I honestly can't remember how I found it but it's become one of my all-time favorites.

2. "Get Out - Casey Abrams"

Another one that I don't know how I found but it's become one of my favorites. You might recognize the artist- yes, it's that Casey Abrams from season 10 of American Idol. It's a breakup song, but it's very upbeat and you'll be humming it all day long.

3. "Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer"

Classic, upbeat pop song that just about everyone knows. It's cliche because it's such a good pick-me-up song.

4. "Brand New - Ben Rector"

I've heard this on the radio recently, and like "Keep Your Head Up," it's another upbeat pop song that will have you singing along.

5. "Good Life - OneRepublic"

Disney used this song in one of their TV commercials for Disney World, and now whenever I hear this song, all I can think about is Disney World.

6. "Ophelia - The Lumineers"

I got my little sister hooked on this catchy tune from The Lumineers' most recent album. "O-Ophelia, heaven help the fool who falls in love."

7. "Pencil Full of Lead" - Paolo Nutini

I love one of Paolo Nutini's other songs called "New Shoes," but this one's got an old-fashioned big band sound that I'm obsessed with.

8. "Bibia Be Ye Ye" - Ed Sheeran

After Divide came out, I was curious as to what "Bibia Be Ye Ye" meant. According to the internet, this phrase means "everything will be alright" in a language called Twi, spoken by the Ashanti people in South Ghana.

9. "Something That I Want" - Grace Potter

This song is on the Tangled soundtrack, which is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies. I used to listen to some of Grace Potter's music, and I still love this song.

10. "Celeste" - Ezra Vine

I discovered this song quite recently and it's become my new favorite song. It just makes me smile when I hear the opening few bars.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

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.
