Have you ever noticed that when summer rolls around the entire dynamic of you and your friends group text changes? It goes from asking to meet for lunch on campus, for homework help/study buddies and the best so what's the plan this weekend to fewer and far between messages completely random, but very much needed to stay in touch. So I give you a list of all the little ways the group text changes during the summer...

DISCLAIMER: Yes these are screenshots of my friends and I's group message. Don't judge, because I bet yours looks just about the same if not even weirder haha.

1. When you take the time to text in the group message and no one responds because summer

And all I can say about this one is smh y'all.

2. Comical Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr Pictures

Because you have to have some people in your life to share all the funny stuff you find on Twitter everyday with.

3. Random updates on their life

Let's be real, the random updates on your friends' lives is the best part of the group message.

4. Having to discuss The Bachelorette via group message instead of in person

Because just texting about the show is never as good as discussing and yelling at the TV all together.

5. How much we all miss adventures through Fay Town

I mean we are missing a baby white tiger... it had to be discussed how we wanted to go back to Fay for this.

6. Already making plans for adventures next school year

It takes a long time for us to make plans, so might as well start planning now.

7. Summer Crafting Updates

If you can't show off your crafts to your friends who can you show??

8. Debating what old Disney movies are the best

What can I say? The Disney Channel movie marathon hit us all in the feels.

9. Rehashing old memories from the school year

Reminiscing on the past year is honestly what makes summer so great. You survived the past school year with some bomb memories to share and talk about again and again.

10. How much we miss each other...

Hotz = Us, enough said.

So whether your friends as as odd as mine are or even odder we can all just wait for the days when we are back together living life together, but more importantly watching "The Bachelorette" together.

This article is dedicated to my group message crew, Parker, Nat, Hailey, Sammi and Chapa.

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.
