Spring Break is that week to do all the things you never or hardly have time to do during the semester. There are so many possibilities but I've pinpointed 14 ways to make the most of your Spring Break!

1. Hangout with friends.

There’s nothing better than catching up with your friends you haven’t seen in months to remind you how much you’ve missed them! Car dates are the best (you literally park your car, sit in it, and talk for hours. It’s a thing, try it)

2. Go see a movie.

Not going to lie, I’m on the 50 Shades plane ride and I’m not getting off!

3. Read a book.

From personal experience, it’s nice to be able to read something that has nothing to do with the human body or the nursing process

4. Go to the beach or skiing.

This is that weird in-between time where you could be in shorts one day and a parka the next. So, if your bank account allows it, take a trip up north or down south and enjoy everything that comes with it!

5. Take a road trip.

Unlike a specific destination like the beach or skiing, taking a road trip allows you the freedom to go anywhere and end up in places you didn’t even plan to be. Let your car roll with the wind.

6. Have a lounge day.

Ahh, a lounge day…sounds like a little piece of heaven to me! A day dedicated to sleeping, movies, pajamas, or just plain nothing. You can personalize it to whatever you want like it’s a Sweet Frog frozen yogurt!

7. Have a bonfire.

This one is a personal favorite. Every time I come home my dad tells me he’s been building it up for me so I can have a bon fire whenever I want. The boys grilling and keeping the fire going, all your close friends sitting around laughing and catching up, smores; perfect night for me!

8. Go fishing.

If you’re like me, you’re like taking a kindergartener fishing. My favorite part of fishing is the casting and reeling back in, so my ideal fishing afternoon is a stocked pond where you can always catch something.

9. Go shopping.

Spring break means summer is right around the corner and you know what that means, time to build your summer wardrobe!

10. Spring cleaning

This week would be the perfect time to deep clean your house, clean out your closet, vacuum out your car. Basically any cleaning you always say you never have any time to do

11. Cook yourself a good meal.

Ohhh yes! Don’t get me wrong, I cook myself meals but during the semester, they’re usually the same meal over and over due to the time crunch I'm always on

12. Go to your favorite restaurant.

Whenever I come home I always suggest my family goes to my favorite restaurant called Lulu Bird's. It's the kind of restuarant you can eat foods you don't like but still love the meal. Although, I always get the same meal because it's just that good! (I’d go on my own but it’s a little on the pricey side

13. Have family quality time.

Spring break is a great time to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in months but don’t forget about your family too! My dad and I always go to our local trail and go running or as a family we go on the boat or sit down for a nice meal and watch a movie afterwards

14. Get ahead or catch up on school work.

Trust me, school work is the last thing I want to be on my mind but if you don’t have much going on during this week, this would be the perfect opportunity to get on top of school work. I usually like to get all my work done in the first three days of break so I can relax the rest of the week.

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.
