5 Things To Do As Soon As Quarantine Is Over

I know that there are millions of us who are struggling during quarantine, and for me, the only way I've been getting through it is with a LOT of FaceTime with friends and looking forward to being able to do everyday things that we have to avoid during lockdown. So I've compiled a list of the things I'm looking forward to most, and hopefully you can read this and not feel sad because you can't do them, but hopeful for the day to come that we all can!

Go to the beach

I'm from California so this hits really hard for me, especially since my semester is over, and all I wanna do -- since it's technically summer -- is go relax on the beach! I'm stoked for it to be fully opened again, because I'll be out there the first day it is!

Hang out with friends

This one is SO tough because my friends are everything to me, and not being able to see them is what's making time most difficult for me. I've kept myself busy by talking over FaceTime or even Zoom with my friends and making plans for all of us once we get to see each other again.

Travel

This one has also been hard for me because I was abroad in Italy this past semester, and we were sent home during our spring break. Everyone lost out on the opportunity of 2 more months of travel and living in our home countries, which was heartbreaking, especially for those who had been looking forward to going abroad since they started college, only for it to be cut short halfway through. But I know that once this has passed, I'll be traveling and making up for lost time!

In-store shopping

As much as I love online shopping, I know that I'm not the only one who likes being able to go to new stores and try things on. Plus, when shopping at a new store, It can be really difficult to guess your size online and not have to return most of your items! I for one will be sprinting to the mall once it opens, because online shopping can never replace the fun of going to the mall!

Go to school

Now I know that some colleges and universities have announced that they are closed for the fall and will only be operational online, which is going to be hard on students and incoming freshman. I feel for you all. But I know that I'm looking forward to the day I'll be able to go to class in person and see my friends at school, whether it's in August or next January.

Let's not lose hope, just stay home and stay healthy until stay-at-home orders are lifted, but remain cautious! This will all be a memory soon enough!

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.
