10 Things To Do When You're Bored This Summer
Todays Parent

1. Sleep

Sleep is the number one thing to do when you come home for the summer considering all the high intense studying you put yourself through in the school year. Sleep through a day and you will find yourself thoroughly entertained by your dreams.

2. Swipe through Tinder

After waking up from a long slumber, grab your phone and check up on all your notifications. If you are still bored then swipe through tinder and hopefully find a summer “boo thing” you can have wild thoughts about. (Apparently Rihanna having a Saudian prince is having a big impact on all the ladies for the summer)

3. Meet up with friends

Meet up with your old high school friends and see how fake they have gotten. Seeing them again will make you realize how much you want to go back to college. So make sure you pregame for the meet up and watch how everyone attempts to act their coolest in front of you. Try not to laugh, it’s offensive (This is from personal experience).

4. Binge watch Netflix

Watch a marathon of ‘Law and Order’ and other movies while stuffing your face with junk food. It can be an entertaining and time filled thing to do for the day. When there’s an awkward pause between scenes look at yourself hard in the reflection of the laptop or television screen and ask yourself “are you really living summer if you look like trash while watching Netflix?”

5. Read an inspirational book

Reading books that cover topics such as “How to be Successful” or “How to Stay Motivated” can consume your time and can educate you on being motivated while ironically doing nothing but reading the book.

6. Make new friends

Since your old friends suck, try going out to bars and clubs or even a local coffee shop and spring a conversation with anybody. Who knows if there’s a cute boy or girl to meet or a dope friend you can do fun adventures with.

7. Go to Parties

Parties are often something to do to make yourself forget about how much your summer sucks. This is a go to place to make friends and to show off on your snapchat stories to appear much cooler than you actually are.

8. Go on Vacation

Can’t afford a vacation you say? Same, so I take vacations from app to app on my iphone. Sometimes I take a vacation in my dreams. It saves money. If you can afford vacations, screw you.

9. Start Drama

Start a fight with someone or create drama with that summer fling. It will be painful, but hey at least it’s something to do and talk about. The more drama you have with your family and friends the more motivation there is to go out and distract yourself.

10. Workout

This is the most important thing to do since you want to show off to all your college friends how fit you’ve gotten over the summer. Drink water, eat well, lift heavy. GET THAT BODY RIGHT!!!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
