How To Make Use Of Your Spring Break
ipfh

If you are like me and have a different Spring Break than everyone around you and therefore haven't got anything exotic or great planned, don't fret - you can still enjoy and make use of your Spring Break in the comfort of your own home.

Take a mental break

It's a given that college brings about an ethereal feeling of stress and responsibility; that is why Spring Break is the perfect buffer period to recollect and recover before tackling the final homestretch of the semester!


Visit some new places in your state

Going somewhere you've never been before shouldn't have to require going out-of-state or out-of-country; try and search for a place, whether it be the mountains, the beach, a restaurant, and so forth, that you have never had the time or opportunity to visit. If you've already exhausted that itinerary beforehand, then visit a place in your home state that you've only been to once or twice.


Go to local places that make it good to be home


Before you know it you'll be back at college and may find yourself missing home. Do things that used to be part of your routine before departing for college like going to local restaurants and doing things you can't do back at college.


Knock out assignments that are due after break

Before you know it you'll be swimming in assignments and tests, so save yourself the stress and get a head start so you don't feel stressed on the last day of break, and so you can finish the second half of the semester strong!


Plan out your Summer


If you are anything like me, then you like to plan ahead. Make plans so that by the time summer comes around, you won't be sitting idly at home wasting the days away when you could have been doing something fun, productive, new, and adventurous.

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.
