6 Ways To Beat The Heat
Adam Volger

If we are being honest here, California is one of the hotter states, with temperatures rising to triple digits quite often and it's not a joke when you're sitting there hot and sweaty.

So, what are a few ways you can "beat the heat" this summer?

1. Go to the beach.

I can't emphasize this enough. The beach is your best friend during the hottest days, so get out there, soak up the sun and have some fun.

2. Go to the water park.

Water parks are a great way to not only beat the heat, but a great way to spend your day. From the giant pool with the wave machine to the high sky water slide, that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping.

3. Take a dip in the pool.

Ah, the swimming pool. It's like car insurance. Although you may not always use or need it, you invest in it because one day it will be there for you when you need it the most.

4. Have a water balloon fight.

You are never too old to have a water-run around the yard and throw a few water balloons at each other, especially when it's 105-degrees outside.

5. Turn the sprinklers on.

It's hot and you're too lazy to drive to the beach or you're one of those unlucky states that just don't have one. Well, do not fear, your sprinklers are always here! So turn them on and run around for a bit.

6. Buy a slip n' slide.

Invest in a slip n' slide. They're great. I'm serious. Too be able to slide on your stomach at five-mph on a soaking wet mat is truly one of the best things this world has to offer.

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.
