6 Thing I Did On Vacation This Week Instead Of Coming Up With A Good Article Idea
goista.com

When you're sitting back and relaxing on the shore of a beach in scenic Narragansett, Rhode Island, it's easy to let any other responsibilities you have just fade away. Which is why I totally forgot to come up with an idea for this week's article. Well, they always say to just write about what you know, so I'm just gonna tell you about all the things I did on my lovely vacation

1. Did some skimboarding

Okay, I'm not as good as that guy in the gif, but I still had a ton of fun with this. The basic premise is you throw the board onto the tide and then run after it and jump on it and then you just glide along the sand. It's like surfing, but less cool and more annoying to people just trying to take a walk on the beach.

2. Ate at two restaurants that Guy Fieri also ate at

I'll tell ya what, they may as well change the name of Narragansett to Flavortown. Two restaurants I ate at this week, Aunt Carrie's and Crazy Burger, were featured on Guy Fieri's Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives; a staple of food-slash-travel programming. You could almost feel the frosted tips as you entered the restaurant, eager to discover what distinguished this place enough to be Fieri worthy. I have to say, both were very delicious.

3. Saw the new Ghostbusters movie

What the hell were people complaining about? I loved this! It didn't try to be the original, it tried to be it's own thing, which worked well, and it didn't take itself too seriously either. Anyone complaining about this movie is probably just a misogynist who worships a shrine of Bill Murray every morning. Also, Kate McKinnon is bae.

4. Had a delicious and refreshing Del's frozen lemonade

I don't know what it is that makes this thing so delicious, but Del's frozen lemonade is one of the main reasons I keep coming back here. It's pretty much just sugar, ice, and lemonade, but there's something special in it that makes it literally one of the most refreshing things I've ever had. Also, they're only sold in Rhode Island, so if you're not a local, you'll have to take a trip to try it. Trust me, it will be worth it.

5. Watched all of Stranger Things

While my days were spent entirely on the beach, my nights were spent unwinding with some Netflix. My sibling recommended Stranger Things and we were immediately hooked. The pacing of the mystery was perfect. It kept me on my toes the whole time and I was always eagerly awaiting the next episode. The cast, especially the fantastic child actors, was also great. I would recommend if you're a fan of X-Files, Spielberg movies, or just good sci-fi in general.

6. Got pooped on by a seagull

You know how they say that there is a first for everything? Well, this was one of those things I could have lived a full, happy lifetime without experiencing. It wasn't too bad though. I was lying down reading my book when I suddenly felt something cold land on my swim trunks. I reached down to try and wipe it off but my mom warned me not too. I then realized what had happened, and then slowly and calmly walked down to the water to wash off. This, unlike everything else on this list, is not something I would recommend. (Also yes, as the gif shows, we had some nosy seagulls try to steal our food as well.)

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
