Back To School Cocktails

Now that summer is coming to an end, it's time to get back into the swing of long nights, homework, and having to wake up for than 7:30 A.M. class all over again. Here are Five Back to School Cocktails that are sure to get you through the hard days if you're 21 and drink responsibly!

1. Summer Ain't Over, Drink a Raspberry Arnold Palmer


Mix 4 cups of iced tea, 8 cups of lemonade, 4 shots of vodka (regular or berry flavored), 2 cups of raspberries, and mint for garnish. This cocktail is reminiscent of summer and will bring you back to those nights you had no cares in the world. Who doesn't love fruity drinks?

2. Erase Your Woes with the Pencil Eraser


Shake together 4 ounces of simple syrup, 6 ounces of regular vodka, 1 ounce of cranberry juice, along with 8 lemon wedges. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a strawberry to feel pretty in red and erase the mistakes of the day. Failed an exam? This is the drink for you.

3. No Sleep Tonight, it's Time for a Late Night at the Library


Take 1.5 ounces of Bourbon, 0.75 ounces of lemon juice, 0.75 ounces of hazelnut and caramel syrup, and two bar spoons of coffee liqueur. The taste of coffee and hazelnut will remind you of your local java with a little kick for those late nights. Coffee 24/7? Sounds good to me.

4. It's All Science to Me with the Scientist Slushie


Put 1 and a half cups of ice, 1/2 a cup of frozen blackberries and blueberries, 12 large strawberries, 1 and a half cups of lemon-lime soda, 1/2 a cup of gin, and a tablespoon of sugar into the blender. Although in science experiments you must be exact, the Scientist Slushie will allow you to be a little less precise. It's like summer all over again.

5. TA too Hot you Need a Drink? Try the Cool for Teacher


In a blender, mix 1 small watermelon cut into cubes, 1 bottle of white wine, and 1 liter of seltzer water. This easy drink is sure to cool you down with a garnish of lime slices added to finish.

No matter your taste, these cocktails are sure to get you back in the feel for school while having a little fun with your friends.

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.
