7 Reasons Every Lake Person Knows There Is No Better Life Than Lake Life

Lake life is the best life, without a doubt.

7 Reasons Every Lake Person Knows There Is No Better Life Than Lake Life
Reilly Nesbitt

Summer is officially halfway over and school is approaching, which means my favorite season is coming to a close: lake season. There is nothing better than soaking up the sun on the boat at your favorite lake and spending time with friends and family with a drink in your hand.

Whether there's a lake in your hometown or you travel to the cabin, anyone who spends time on the water can agree that it's one of the best places on Earth. Here's why.

1. The restaurants

You're enjoying yourself with friends and family on the water and realize it's been hours since you've had a meal. Instead of having to end your lake day and go home for supper, you can dock at your favorite restaurant on the lake and enjoy a delicious meal. These restaurants often feature mouthwatering sea food to compliment the day you just spent on the lake.

2. The sun

Getting tan is one of my favorite parts of summer (although it's mostly just the darkening of the many freckles covering my body). There's nothing better than coming home from the lake with sun-kissed skin and that happy, healthy glow.

3. The endless activities

There is so much to do at the lake. If you don't have a boat, some great options are canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just hanging out at the beach. If you're one of the lucky people who owns a boat (or maybe a generous friend does), you can wake board, surf, or go tubing.

4. Island parties

Looking for a fun weekend activity filled with games, music, and drinking? Head over to one of the popular islands on your lake where boats tie up and create one big party!

5. Sunsets

I don't think there's anything better than a good lake sunset. The orange, yellow, and red colors come together in the sky to create a gorgeous view. Take in these moments because they won't last forever.

6. Quality time with friends and family

The lake is a great way to bring people together. It gives friends and family members an excuse to get together, enjoy the beautiful weather, and create memories. People are able to relax, talk, and enjoy their free time before the busy school year starts up again.

7. Holiday weekends

The 4th of July on the lake is a whole new level. Everyone goes all out, starting the day early in the morning and ending it by watching fireworks after dark. Labor Day and Memorial Day weekend are also great times to celebrate on the lake.

To me, the lake is like a second home. It's my favorite time of the year where I create memories that will last me through the cold winter months and keep me excited for the next summer. Lake life truly is the best life.

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.

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.
