As school comes to a close, everyone is thinking about how they can make this summer stand out from the rest. Whether you're graduating high school or just looking to have a great summer, there are endless opportunities to make it an unforgettable one. Here are ten ways to make everyone jealous of the summer you had.

1. Make a summer bucket list.

Make a list of all the things that you want to do. Then, hang it up in a place where you can see it. As you accomplish them, check each activity off your list. This also doubles as a record of all the things that you did this summer. If you don't end up accomplishing them all, you'll have a head start for next summer.

2. Go on surprise adventures.

Plan an adventure for you and all of your friends, but keep the destination a surprise. This causes all of your friends to have a little mystery added to their summers while visiting some very cool places that were right under their noses. The adventures do not have to be expensive or far from where you live—just do some research and find some very cool places that you haven't been to before.

3. Have a party.

Having a party can mean so many things, so interpret it as you want! Whether the party has a few people or is a huge rager, go for it, because you will not have these years of your youth ever again. String up some lights, put out some guacamole, let loose, and party!

4. Go to concerts.

Going to a concert can be the highlight of anyone's summer. Get a group of people together and be spontaneous. If you get completely crappy seats, who cares? You are at a concert with all of your friends, so dance your heart out!

5. Set a personal goal.

Whether it's a fitness goal or to go to the Shake Shack once a week, set a goal. It feels so great to be able to reach a goal, and once you accomplish it you will remember it for the rest of your life! Setting a fitness goal will help you get in shape over the summer, but we all know Shake Shack is great too!

6. Get lots of sleep.

Even though summer is about partying all day and all night, you are going to regret not catching up on some sleep when it comes time to get back into the swing of a regular routine. When you have the opportunity to sleep, take it.

7. Do some binge-watching.

Whether it's "Orange is the New Black" or "American Dad," Netflix will have a show for you. Nothing is better than getting snuggled up in your bed at 1 a.m. on a summer night and getting involved in a different reality where you can feel like you are one of the characters.

8. Go on a road trip.

Whether it be in state or out of state, a road trip can be fun and cheap. You can pick a destination and find fun places along the way. It's not about the destination. It's about the journey!

9. Have lots of beach days.

What's better than going to the Jersey shore with your friends and having a great time? Whether it's renting a house for a few nights or going for the day, you are guaranteed to have an awesome time!

10. Just have fun!

No matter what you do this summer, make sure that you are having fun! Summer gives you a chance to let go of all the high school drama and just be yourself. Hang out with friends or do absolutely nothing; that is the beauty of the season—it's completely up to you!

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.

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.
