20 Summer Activities To Remind You Of Your Childhood
Sesame Ellis Photo Blogger

Let’s face it. When you were just a little kid, summer time was so much better. You had all the free time in the world because school was out, you had tons of neighborhood friends to play with, and you were so care-free because what would you have to worry about at that age? Now, you probably have a big kid job or maybe you’re taking summer classes, and most the time you’re a bit stressed out, tired, and taking care of all the adult responsibilities you have. It can become hectic, so try to make a little time to unwind and relax, and take part in some care-free activities to remind you of the better days of your childhood.

1. Blow bubbles.

2. Draw with sidewalk chalk.

3. Ride your bike around the neighborhood.

4. Play on a slip-n-slide.

5. Feed the ducks, squirrels, birds, or whatever animals you liked as a kid.

6. Catch fireflies.

7. Do cartwheels and summersaults around the yard.

8. Build a sandcastle.

9. Run through the sprinkler.

10. Drink lemonade.

But skip the lemonade stand because it would look a little awkward if a 20 year old was selling lemonade on the side of the road).

11. Have a picnic.

12. Camp out in the backyard for a night.

13. Hula-hoop.

14. Eat three popsicles at the same time and feel no shame.

15. Go to the park and play at the playground.

16. Have a water balloon fight.

17. Hopscotch.

18. Go to the zoo or aquarium and take pictures with the animal statues.

19. Play tag, capture the flag, kickball, or whatever games you loved as a kid.

20. Lay in the grass and just enjoy the sunshine.

And there you have it. Throughout the summer, take some time to remember those carefree days of your childhood, and relax from the crazy work week through some sweet and innocent activities. You’ll remember why you loved them so much when you were younger, and you’ll have a little fun pretending you’re seven-years-old again, even if it’s just for a short while.

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.
