15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

Before classes start and our schedules are filled to the brim, let's take time to reminisce about what makes summer such a special season.

15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

1. Driving around with your friends with the windows down and your favorite playlist blasting, right before the sun sets.

2. Relaxing by the pool with a fresh bowl of fruit and jumping in the water when your lounge chair gets a little too hot.

3. Taking your dog for a long walk, up and down rolling hills, under a shady canopy of leaves created by the trees arching over from either side of the road.

4. Curling up beside an open window on a sunny morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a stack of new magazines.

5. Having a barbecue dinner with your family at an outdoor picnic table then sitting around a fire pit catching up on each other's days.

6. Walking down the beach along the line where the sea just meets the sand. With each step, your toes get covered with a little more sea foam and your feet get buried deeper and deeper into the ground.

7. Eating a fresh seafood lunch and people watching under the awning outside a restaurant.

8. Racing kayaks with your friends at a local lake and climbing onto a wooden dock surrounded by water.

9. Having a perfectly refreshing ice cream cone on a sweltering day. Licking around the sides of the cone as if finishing the ice cream before it melts is a race against time.

10. Using your free time to reconnect and reminisce with old friends over meals and during parties.

11. The feeling of satisfaction you get after seeing how sharp your bathing suit tan line is after a day in the sun.

12. Lying on a giant pool float for hours and reading a fun, light book.

13. Relieving sore feet by getting a mani pedi with the best bright nail polish color after a day full of walking.

14. Working out outside in the perfect temperature: when it's warm enough that you don't need a jacket, but cool enough that when you run refreshing wind cools down your skin.

15. Spending time with your home friends: talking, going out and just enjoying each other's company.

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.
