5 Ways To Make The Most Of The Final Days Of Summer

With celebrations like the Fourth of July, Father's Day, and Flag Day flying by, and the beginning of August around the corner. I have to say that Summer is ending. Soon, I will not be able to binge watch shows on Netflix, eat popsicles all day, and will be sitting in a classroom trying to stay awake. Summer 2016 may have not been as excited as I had hoped, but I have had some good moments and memories that I will keep forever. Here are a few ways to enjoy this Sunny season while it lasts.

1. Visit the beach one last time

Okay, Galveston, TX or your local beach is definitely not Bora Bora but you can always pretend it is. Throw a beach ball and wade in the water before high tide. Going to the beach during summer is always a good idea.

2. Hit up the semi annual sales

Another sign that summer is coming to a close are semi annual sales. It's basically when stores discount items to get rid of them but I am not complaining. You can buy a swimsuit that you have been eyeing for a bargain. Just make sure to purchase quality items and not something random because it is half of the original price. You want to be laughing to the bank, not crying.

3. Meet up with your hometown friends

You probably have done this too many times to count this summer but you should hang out a few more times before school starts and can only FaceTime each other. If you are all sick of eating at the same place together, try a different place that none of you have ever tried.

4. Snap a few more photos

Sometimes the best pictures captured happen out of bittersweet circumstances. After trying something different with your friends or by yourself, revisit your favorite places to eat, shop, just have fun, etc and take pictures to look back on the time where you spent the last days of summer.

5. Reflect on events that have happened this summer

It may seem a little too soon to have nostalgia but reflecting on the laughs, tears and growth you have experienced is always relevant. You may have started a new hobby, mastered a skill, went on a hike, or formed some new relationships. If you have any regrets this summer, just know that things will not always how the way you planned then to go. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

While Autumn is my favorite season, Summer will always have a place in my heart for the adventures with my friends, camping out and going to the beach. It is the season all students look forward to and can seem like it will never end...until it does.

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.
