Let's be real, we all want to have a great summer and relax. Instagram is full of beautiful summer vacations and photos of the beach. But not everyone can afford to go to the Bahamas. (If you can afford, please take me with you!) But that does not mean you can not have a great summer full of memories.

Visit a lake or local beach

A lot of lakes are super cheap to visit (if their is a charger at all!) A couple of local ones in my hometown are $3 per car.

Pick up a new hobby

Painting classes are often discounted on week days!

Volunteer with your school

The summers I have spent volunteering and stay close to campus are some of my favorite.

Volunteer at a VBS

Free Cheetos and Jesus, what more could you want? If you can give up a few hours of your day for a week, I assure you it will be an experience that impacts children in your community and yourself.

Make Homemade Ice Cream

You can buy a machine to help you make soft serve or simply freeze a tub for scoops!

Go Camping 

Find a park or a friend with a big backyard! I will not lie and say I have not slept on a trampoline before. It does not have to cost a lot, just find somewhere and some friends to camp with!

Get a Tan

Laying outside in the sun is the cheapest way! Skip those tanning beds!

Have a movie marathon 

Who is to say you can not stay away for 36 hours and binge watch Harry Potter?

Make S'Mores

Take  a photo or 1 second video everyday

Save them as a video to remember your summer!

The summer has begun but it is not too late to enjoy it! What is on your bucket list?

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.
