10 Things To Beat Summer Boredom

If you're looking for something to do while you're sitting on the couch bored as heck, this list is for you!

10. Learn to play an instrument.

This can be pricey depending on what's instrument you choose but it's really productive. If you love music than its a wonderful way to know your music on a deeper level!

9. Start a blog.

Starting a blog can be an outlet in which you share with all your friends and family on your boring summer adventures!

8. Go to a concert.

I mean this one can be a little expensive but there are opportunities to get tickets fairly cheap. I say if you have the extra cash, grab a friend and go to the concert! Hey, why not make a weekend out of it?

7. Take a weekend trip to the beach or lake.

This can be expensive as well however, with the right budget in place you can do one of these trips for less than $100! Yes, I'm serious. Granted it all depends on where you stay, I suggest checking out the app Airbnb. On this app you can get cheap rooms to stay in as opposed to a hotel!

6. Try a new show on Netflix.

This a cheap fix to any summer boredom! What's great about this option is that it can last for a couple of days that is if you're a couch potato like me!

5. Read a new book.

This is another cheap option that is if you're one of those people that has a thousand books but hasn't read even half of them. This is the perfect opportunity to finally read one! Otherwise checkout a local WalMart near you and find a book that looks interesting to you!

4. Go to a drive-in movie.

This is one of those stereotypical things to do in the summer but this is a fun way to watch some of your recent movies that has come out! If you are unsure where one is, the closest one I know in relation to Aiken is The Big Mo which is located in Monetta, South Carolina.

3. Go swimming.

This can be anywhere between free and $5 admission. If you need a tan or just need something to do, throw a swimsuit on, sunscreen, grab some friends and head to your local public pool!

2. Go on a picnic.

I understand it's hot but this can be really fun! If you plan it accordingly, get a cooler and pack lots of water and sodas if you wish and get a giant blanket and some finger foods and you're set!

1. Go on a Pokemon Go hunt.

This is great because it encourages exercise and you get adorable Pokemon along the way. Not to mention this is free ladies and gents, which is why it lands as my number one option. After all, who doesn't like free things to do?

Have fun this summer guys, be safe, wear sunscreen, be aware of your surroundings, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Which leaves your options pretty open.

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.
