3 Ways To Stay Connected With Friends That Will Brighten Your Day

I know personally, I have not seen my college friends since March 6th, and all this time and distance has me missing them so much more. Everybody says that your college friends become your family, and the people who say that are 100% right! As much as I am looking forward too reconnecting with them in August, there is no time like the present! So, here are a couple of things I have done to stay in touch with my friends!

If you have some cash that you are willing to spend, a great website you could visit is https://sendafriend.co! This website allows you to pick out a stuffed animal of your choice and send it to someone you are thinking about with a personalized notecard! When it arrives to your friends house it will be in a baby blue box that says "Someone Loves You". Another great thing about this website is that when you go on it you get to spin a wheel for discounts! The first time I used it I got 10% off which was awesome! I would highly recommend getting this gift for somebody that you care about!

Another thing that you can do with your friends to stay connected is Zoom! Since all of our classes were on Zoom for the spring semester, we all knew how to use and would set up meetings with each other. We were able to watch YouTube videos, have dance parties, and just talk about our days all through this app. Zoom is 100% free and allows you to share your screen and send chats in private or to the whole group!

The final thing that I enjoy doing with my friends is online games! In today's world, the internet provides so many free multiplayer games that you can play with your friends! My personal favorites are Uno, Club Penguin (for old times sake) and Guess Who! Although I only listed three, if you type in multiplayer games into Google you can find so many more!


Hopefully this gave you some ideas as to how to keep in close contact with some college friends that you are missing right now. But, do not worry everyone - August is right around the corner!

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.

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.
