It's the middle of the semester, odds are you're more busy than bored 6 out of the 7 days of the week. You look forward to that one day where you don't have anything to do. If you're like me, that day has more hype than anything. You think about sleeping in and maybe ordering stuffed crust pizza, but it ends up being you trying to think of things to do. Here are 25 things to do when you are bored.

1. Explore downtown Plattsburgh

2. Clean your room with music blasting


3. Discover more artists

4. Alphabetize your music, book, and/or DVD collection

5. Go workout


6. Bake something from Pinterest

7. Start your homework for the week

8. If the weather permits, go for a walk/bike ride

9. Have a Disney movie marathon

10. Catch up on some new shows

11. Check Facebook for some local events

12. Build a terrarium

13. Read a thriller

14. Write fan fiction


15. Organize your closet

16. Update your LinkedIn profile (because if you're like me, you forget you even have a LinkedIn profile)

17. Plan an elaborate scavenger hunt based on correctly answering riddles

18. Have a spa day


19. Watch old YouTube videos

20. Make a bucket list

21. Check out some new, noteworthy apps

22. Browse for tattoo ideas

23. Or design your own tattoo

24. Make a short comic book

25. Read up on current events

Think of this list whenever you are bored. I definitely did a few of these over the weekend!

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.
