13 Things That Happen When You Go Home For The Summer
The Odyssey

You’ve waited all year to go home. Perhaps you haven’t been home since winter break, or at all. However long it’s been, you’ve probably missed your bed, seeing your high school friends, and going to your favorite restaurant. While going home is typically a positive experience, here are all the things that happen when you go home for the summer.

1. You see your old crew

The OG squad.

2. You have a curfew again

America, home of the free until you live under your parents' roof.

3. You no longer have to wear shower shoes

And you can sing all you want.

4. You can walk around naked again

5. Food is free

Finally some home-cooked meals.

6. You run into people from high school all over town

You'll probably run into your old crush while you're not wearing makeup and in pajamas at your local Rite-Aid.

7. You have boxes of stuff around your room

Yeah, maybe you'll unpack them at the end of the summer.

8. You watch a lot of Netflix

Hey, you missed a lot during the school year.

9. You get a job at the mall or local restaurant

It's the worst.

10. You can sleep in

Well, you can sleep in while knowing that there's no projects due soon.

11. You call your college friends everyday

"Come visit" is an overused phrase.

12. You don't have to wear headphones to listen to music or watch a movie

This is the life.

13. All while waiting to return to school

All

Summer is great, but we also can't wait to get back to school to see our friends.

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.
