If You're On A Budget This Summer, You Can Still Have Fun In The Sun With These 12 Wallet-Friendly Tips

Cool for the summer.

Summer

Summer is finally here and while I have to take summer classes, I still want to have some fun. My freshman year was intense and my summer may be busy too. That doesn't mean I can't have fun outside or go on some fun adventures. It is finally warm enough up north to do multiple things that are dangerous and difficult to do in the winter (you can't swim outside when it is snowing). Being a Floridian I cannot wait to do water-related activities and other fun things as well. Hopefully, these give you ideas for your own summer.

Going to the water park

I love water parks so much. They have something for everyone and in my opinion, are much better than some roller coasters.

The pool

The pool has something for everyone. You can swim, dip your feet in, or sun bathe. Just make sure to use sunscreen.

Paddle boarding

I remember going paddle boarding while on vacation and it was so simple and fun. Something everyone should try out sometime.

Jet skiing

Jet skiing is so much fun! Whether you are driving the jet ski or riding behind someone, this is a nice way to cool off on a nice summer day.

Horseback riding

Going on a horse doesn't have to be hard. It is actually peaceful and fun to sit on a horse. Just don't be nervous because they can sense stress.

Zip lining

Zip lining can look scary but it feels so freeing. I felt like I was literally flying.

Go on a picnic

When it isn't as humid outside, go on a picnic and enjoy the weather while eating yummy food. Bonus points if the view is scenic and no bugs join.

Go to the boardwalk

Boardwalks are so much fun. They will have multiple restaurants and rides as well as a view of the ocean. Just try not to go to one full of tourists.

Roller skating

While this takes a while to get used to, once you get it, it's a blast.

 Hiking

I love a gorgeous hike, and most of the time, they're free. You could go on a classic hike or try something new. Please, make sure to check for ticks.

 Go to outdoor markets

During the summer, whether it has clothes, food, vintage items, or anything else, markets have so much cool stuff to look at. Even if you aren't interested in buying anything.

 Explore a city

For those who live near a big city or are willing to road trip, explore a city. They are all so different and are so cool to explore.

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.
