26 Things To Do Before The End Of Summer

With summer quickly passing by, most of us can agree that we've spent a majority of our summer either working or complaining about all the things we want to do but haven't done yet. Though it's important to make money, and as broke college students we sure as hell need it, we also have to spend some time making great memories with our BFFs. With a few weeks left, here are a few ideas on how to spend the rest of the season!

1. Have a bonfire.

2. Get up early one morning and make yourself run one mile. Prove to yourself that you can do it, and I promise afterward you’ll feel a million times better.

3. Try a new dish. Start expanding your horizons and incorporate foods you would normally be afraid to eat. The worst thing that could happen is that you hate it, but hey, at least you tried!

4. Spend a day at the zoo.

5. Eat breakfast in bed.

6. Go kayaking/paddle boarding.

7. Jump in your car and DRIVE! Get lost, find a few cool places and have fun!

8. Find an activity that relaxes you and try doing it a few times a week. Sometimes we all need something that distracts us from reality for a little bit.

9. Plan a trip. It can be a weekend getaway to the city or a week in the tropics. Seeing the world is so important and even if you can’t get up and go right now, there’s no harm in planning a few months or even a year in advance. It’ll give you something to look forward to.

10. Get lost in conversation until 4 a.m.

11. Thank the people who listen to your crap on the daily. Make sure they know that you appreciate everything they do for you.

12. Reach out to an old friend and see how they’re doing.

13. GO TO THE BEACH!

14. Go to a baseball game.

15. Go for a long hike.

16. Find a habit that helps reduce stress—running, yoga, painting, something that makes you feel calm when the world feels so chaotic—and do it.

17. Go to a concert.

18. Take a trip to the farmers' market.

19. Go on a social media hiatus and soak up the last few beautiful days the summer has to offer.

20. Find the nearest county fair and go to it with a few of your friends. Eat as many fried Oreo's as you want and go on every ride. It’s nice to feel like a little kid, even if it’s only for a few hours.

21. Read a book on the beach.

22. Sleep under the stars.

23. Visit a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.

24. Go mini-golfing.

25. Make s'mores.

26. Wish that this moment could last forever.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
