Now that finals are wrapping up and summer is here, you need to find some things to do when you are not working or taking summer classes. Summer is such a great time of the year, with the grass bright green and the warm sunny days. Here is a list of 10 things you need to do before summer ends and you're hitting the books again.

1. Run or walk a 5K.

Summer is a great time to find a 5K fundraiser and run or walk it with a friend. There are so many different kinds that go to a great cause or are just for the fun of it.

2. Watch the sunset and sunrise.

Grab your special someone or even just a friend and go sit in the bed of a pickup truck away from the city. Maybe grab some snacks and caffeine so you don't fall asleep.

3. Go camping.

Whether it is in a tent or an RV, grab your roasting sticks and bug spray and go explore the great outdoors. And while you are at it, go for a swim in the nearby lake or river.

4. Go to a concert.

Whether it is your favorite band or a friend's favorite band, get your tickets and dance the night away. Grab the artist's autograph while you are at it, too.

5. Go to a local fair.

Gather your friends and some cotton candy and ride some rides. If you're feeling a little silly, maybe even get a "fair do."

6. Go to a museum.

Whether it is the local museum or the museum in the big cities, grab a friend and take silly pictures. If they have a fun scavenger hunt to go along with it, do that as well.

7. Go to a water park.

Get your sunscreen and bathing suit and hit the water slide. While you are there, take a risk and jump off the diving board.

8. Have a picnic at a park.

Pack your picnic basket and go to the park with a friend for lunch. While you are there you can get a little tanning in.

9. Take up a new hobby.

Whether it is rollerblading, skateboarding, paddle boarding or basket weaving, try something new. Maybe you will learn to love it.

10. Get tan.

And while you are busy doing all of these things, make sure that you get a tan. And if you burn at first, aloe vera will be your best friend.

So forget about those finals that you were just stressing about and get out and enjoy summer!

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.
