How To Have A Fulfilling Summer Without Tinder

Swimming, rock climbing, jumping over ropes; summer can be fun if you try outdoor activities you read about online.

How To Have A Fulfilling Summer Without Tinder

By now, most college students have finished with classes for the summer and are starting internships and jobs. With the realization by many students that their unpaid internship was created by a company for the sole purpose of obtaining free labor, it is quite common for young people to turn elsewhere for a sense of fulfillment. In a bygone era, it was frequent for these lost souls to turn to religion, but in this godless generation, the only salvation is the use of the applications on cellular phones. Tinder, one of these applications, has been used by the masses to rekindle that spiritual flame that once burned so brightly. So as you can see, for students who aren't able to use Tinder over the summer, it's important to find new ways to have fun!

One summer activity that I've always loved is the building of tiny boats. Typically, one goes out into a forest, collects little twigs, and binds them together with string found in the neighbor's dumpster. The small vessels are usually no larger than the volume of three-and-a-half pomegranates, but the size can occasionally match the volume of up to five pomegranates. When floating the boats down the stream, it can sometimes be fun to race against a friend that you met on Tinder. Without Tinder, it can be more difficult to do this but it's still possible. There are a number of frozen yogurt shops that were designed with the intention that they would become vibrant hubs for meeting friends. Go get frozen yogurt and make some boats!

For some, the best part of Tinder is the fun swiping motion. The repeated swiping motion exclusively to the left or exclusively to the right (the direction depends on your gender identity) is therapeutic. Those who can't use Tinder this summer should find a nice broom with sturdy bristles and start sweeping sidewalks. Bernie Sanders is a fierce opponent of privatized industries such as sidewalk-sweeping, so taking this task upon yourself would really get him riled up. And that's fun for all of us.

Swimming is also fun. The best part about swimming is that it doesn't require a Tinder, although it's highly recommended that you have one so you can find a lifeguard. It actually might be better to find a lifeguard from somewhere other than Tinder because being "fluent in sarcasm" actually makes you worse at lifeguarding.

Some article I saw on Facebook said that forming a band is fun. You could do that.

Another article I read while waiting in line at Qdoba said that going to Chipotle is a fun summer activity. That same article also advised readers to find a hobby during the summer. Sounds like a good idea. Go spend hundreds of dollars on musical instruments that you'll use for a month before your lack of dedication and integrity causes you to quit.

Honestly, you should probably just find a way to use Tinder over the summer, even if you think you're unable to. It's not a fun app but at least it's free.

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.

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.
