1. Movie Night


Having a movie night with your friends is always fun, especially when it involves dinner and a show. It's even better if you can all quote the movie lines.

2. Bonfire


An advantage to not being surrounded by concrete and buildings is being able to go out and have a bonfire with your friends. Whether you roast marshmallows or each other, it'll be a night of fun.

3. Thrift Store Shopping


Finding ugly clothes and then trying to convince your best friend they need it is always a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Aside from finding clothes that you will wonder why they were made, you might find a pretty sweet deal.

4. Star Gazing


One of the pros of not living in a city that's heavily populated by lights is that you don't have to go far to see the stars.

5. Ugly Shoe shopping


Going to the store and seeing some of the shoe ideas some people come up with is always a great way to make you feel better about yourself.

6. Walmart Scavenger Hunts


Going into Walmart or a different store that is available in your town is a great way to increase your skill of finding items.

7. Ultimate Frisbee at the park


Frisbee or a different game with your friends at the park is one place to hang out, especially when there aren't really any places to hang out at aside from a friend's house

8. Karaoke


What better way to entertain and bond with your friends than horribly singing your favorite songs?

9. Going on drives


Sometimes you just need to hop in a car and go for a drive either by yourself or with your friends.

10. Explore abandoned places


Almost every town has that building or place that has a story about it and why no one goes there. Why not got check it out?

11. Watch the river rise



If all else fails, go watch a river rise after the rain. Just be careful not to fall in and drown.

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.

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.
