5 Easy Ways To Make This Summer The Best Summer

Summer is a great time for students to catch up on sleep, relax, and prepare for the next semesters ahead. While it should be a relaxing time, it can also be a period that allows you to reinvent yourself. Unless you are taking a full schedule of classes over the summer, you will probably have some downtime that will allow you to do a lot. I like to think of summers as months where you can create good habits that can carry through to the next years of your life. Here are some things you can do to make your time off as a student worthwhile because after all, productivity is important!

1. Exercise And Workout!

If you are not working all the time or in classes all day, there is no excuse for you not to work out. I know that during hectic semesters with 5 classes and extracurricular activities ruling lives, it can be hard for students to find the time to exercise regularly. But this summer, you have the power to hit the gym as many times as you want or can.

2. Takes Some Classes To Earn More Credits

I don't think people should overload their brains with a ton of classes over the summer, because the school year is stressful enough. However, it is smart to take one or two classes during the summer to keep your brain active and to catch up on credits that you may still need. If you think you'll have a very busy fall and spring schedule, then taking some courses in the summer will definitely take a load off of those packed schedules.

3. Find A Hobby To Dive Into

Personally, during the school year, I get extremely wrapped up In academics and I do not usually allow myself time to do anything I truly enjoy. Summer is a time where I play the piano, write poems, and paint. These things relax me and make me happy. I know I should incorporate these things into my school year, but it is hard to when there is always so much to do. You can take time to do things you enjoy or to find new hobbies you might like!

4. Master Nutrition And Your Chef Skills

Figure out what is good for your body and how you can cook those things. If you learn new recipes and perfect them during the summer, you will be able to make those meals during the school year, which can lead to a much healthier lifestyle during the year. Now that you have more time to cook, take advantage of it and become a top chef!

5. Spend Time With The Ones You Love

I know how busy everyone can get during the year. It is often easy to forget about having fun with the people you love and it is easy to get caught up on schoolwork. Canceled plans with friends and family are not uncommon during the school year. This summer, you may have more time to relax and hang out with the people who are important to you. Make it a goal to spend time with these people and to make many memories! Travel to new places or explore the ones you have already been to!

Hopefully, you can find ways to make this summer productive and to be happy with your 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.

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.
