10 Things To Do On Your Staycation
The Huffington Post

It's that time of year when we're all on spring break or are planning our upcoming spring break. Some of us will be traveling to tropical destinations, but for those of us who are staying home for spring break here are 10 things you can do on your staycation!

1. Take An Art Class

Spring break is the perfect time to let your creative juices flow since you don't have to worry about the stress of school. Sign up for an art class at your local art studio or do some drawing on your own. Whatever suits you best.

2. Go On Daily Walks

It may be tempting to stay in bed all day, but try to go on a walk everyday. it doesn't have to be a full blown workout; just go for a walk around the block or around your neighborhood.

3. Catch Up On Your Favorite Show On Netflix

This is my personal favorite. I'm currently watching House from the beginning, so watching it on Netflix will definitely be on my list of things to do over spring break.

4. Volunteer For A Cause That Interests You

If you have some free time you can give your time to an organization that interests you. You could walk the dogs at the animal shelter, help tutor some kids, or whatever you are interested in.

5. Meet Up With Friends From High School

It's always nice meeting up with friends from high school and your childhood, so take this time off to spend some time with your friends back at home or maybe even rekindle old friendships.

6. Read A Book For Fun

With the stress of school I barely ever read a book for fun while at school, so whenever I'm on break I like to read something that's not related to school in any way. Reading for fun does so much good for yourself.

7. Sleep

If you're like most other college students you probably don't sleep that much while at school, so use the time off to catch up on your sleep. If this means sleeping all day for you, then go right ahead. Your peers won't judge you because they are probably doing the same!

8. Take A Day Trip

Just because you can't go on vacation doesn't mean you can't go on a road trip. Find somewhere you can drive to in a few hours and plan things to do and places to go to on this trip. I personally love day trips because I feel like I get to get away, but I don't have to break the bank.

9. Have A Party

I'm not talking about a crazy frat party here, but if that's what you're into go for it! Invite some friends or family over for dinner one night and catch up with them. Sometimes you have to go out of your way to see the ones you love, but it's so worth it, especially when you go to school somewhere far away from home.

10. Homework

If all else fails you can always catch up on homework.

Staycations can be relaxing, restful, productive, and fun. Instead of eyeing up your friends' beach pictures on Instagram and Facebook, remember that you don't have to go somewhere far away to have a good 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.
