With summer quickly approaching, many of us are in need of a way to spend it. Whether it be daily beach trips, or learning how to code, this list provides great brainstorming for the coming months of fun.

1. Go to the beach!

An obvious entry in any list about summertime. Nothing can beat driving a group of friends out to the beach on a hot summer day followed by a shower and a long afternoon nap.

2. Go fishing

Fishing isn't for everyone, but it is by far the most relaxing of outdoor activities. The barrier to entry for fishing is lower than ever before, just an hour watching tutorial videos and you can be fishing in no time.

3. Take a road trip

Personally, one of my favorite summer traditions is taking a road trip with friends. Just a pick a city none of you have ever been to, load up the car with some snacks, make a playlist, and just drive.

4. Take advantage of yard sales

Most yard sales tend to happen during the summer and on Saturday and Sunday mornings and can be extremely fun to look around. You never know what valuable items you can find for incredibly low prices as the primary purpose of a yard sale is to clean out a house and not to make huge profits.

5. Learn a skill

This activity can seem very broad, but it is actually pretty simple. With the extra free time during the summer it is a great time to pick up a skill you have been wanting to learn, or even an instrument. With just a few hours of practice a day you can excel in just about anything!

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.
