1. Greece

Greece is a beautiful country. If you have not been, definitely put it on your list of places. Who doesn't love the history of the country? Plus you can see the white and blue tops of Santorini and Mykonos.

2. Israel

Israel is one of the most historic countries in the world. It is home to the Jewish people, and has some insanely delicious food! Who doesn't love shawarma and falafel? Also, Tel Aviv is a great spot to go during the hot months.

3. France

I have never been to France, but I have heard it is a beautiful place. Apparently the wine country is amazing.

4. Italy

Italy is another place with a rich, important history. Italian food is also amazing, and the beaches and water there are crystal clear. Who doesn't love swimming and being able to actually see your feet (@new jersey beaches)?

5. England

England is another big place I would like to visit. Not only can you ride the London Eye, but you can visit the train platform and the studio from Harry Potter.

6. Spain

When you go visit Spain, you can also visit Portugal. This country is very immersive and you can learn a lot about the culture there. You can also watch bull fighting. A man in a sparkling suit waving a flag at a bull sounds fun.

7. Ireland

Ireland has plenty of famous spots to visit. The Cliffs of Moher and many other places are perfect places to visit. Also, you can go to pubs and just have an all around good time.

8. Hungary

Who doesn't want to go to Budapest? You can take a bath in one of the public baths or you can enjoy the nightlife. Either way, there is a little bit for everyone to do.

9. Nepal

Nepal is home to part of Mount Everest, which is why it is on this list. Mount Everest is the biggest mountain in the world and is very important for people to visit. Not only is Nepal home to Mount Everest but it is just a beautiful, peaceful place in general.

10. Poland

Poland can be a sad place to visit, but it still worth traveling to. Poland can teach us about the past and let us make sure history does not repeat itself.

11. Thailand

Swimming with elephants is a thing in Thailand. Also, riding elephants. These ginormous lovable animals are a huge part of the culture over there. Besides the elephants, there also a huge cultural immersion there, and one can learn a lot about the basic and simpleness of life.

12. Russia

Last on my list is Russia. I feel Russia is another good place that people can and should visit. It is a vast country with many things to see and do.

I hope you take my advice and see the world.

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.
