16 Ideas For Your Summer To-Do List

1. Go to concerts or festivals.

From free concerts to music festivals such as Firefly, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Boston Calling, the possibilities and locations are endless. See this link for more details: https://seatgeek.com/tba/festivals/music-festivals...

2. Sleep under the stars.

Whether you choose a popular camping spot or your very own backyard, sleep outdoors for a night.

3. Visit a new city.

If you have the time and money, book a plane ticket, buy a bus ticket, hop on a train, or drive with a friend. Whatever it may be, go to a city you've always wanted to see in person instead of in a travel magazine.

4. Purchase a portable hammock.

As soon as I get my next paycheck I'm purchasing one of these.

5. Watch fireworks.

On the Fourth of July, be sure to check out local firework shows or travel to the city or shore. Even if it's not a holiday, some towns have firework displays throughout the summer.

6. Start a blog (or any new hobby).

You never know what that summer day full of boredom could lead to.

7. Go zip lining.

Bring out your outdoors enthusiast persona.

8. Go flower picking or berry picking.

Spend the day at a farm and come home with fresh fruit and flowers that you personally cut. Here's a link for the other Bucks County residents: https://mommypoppins.com/new-jersey-kids/farms-u-p...

9. Go (mini) golfing.

Is it really summer without it?

10. Try a new coffee shop.

If you've been to all the coffee shops in your town, make a small road trip out of the day. Grab your friends and head to the next town over to discover a new restaurant, cafe, or coffee shop.

11. Go rock jumping.

Definitely make sure it has rained recently, or go to a park that people visit often.

12. Visit a State Park or National Park.

There may be a State Park closer to you than you think. If you're feeling adventurous, take a trip to a State Park, or rather National Park, that you've never been to.

13. Buy a pet.

If it's a spur-of-the-moment type of thing, a fish is probably your best bet.

14. Paint a room in the house.

Fix up your bedroom, lighten up your office, or offer to paint a room in the house for a family member.

15. Make a new friend or visit a friend.

College is wonderful because you get the chance to meet people from all over. Take advantage of the summer break and pay your friends a visit!

16. Become your best self.

Get that haircut you've been wanting for a while. Treat yourself and get your nails done. Work when you can and read more books. Take more pictures. Cook more meals. Travel alone. Slowly become your best self this summer.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
