With the end of the semester and finals season approaching, I am absolutely drowning in work. It sucks because the weather is FINALLY starting to get nice, but I'm trapped in classrooms and libraries all day. I think most students are at the point where we are just ready for summer and for the semester to be over.

However, there is one thing keeping me going and motivating me to make it to the end: Mayfest. Mayfest (and Block Party) day is my favorite of the whole year, and here's why:

1. Free entry!

Yep, you can get into this all-day "festival" for free! The event is filled with live music, bouncy obstacle courses, and lots of other fun things to do. You just need your student ID and you're all set.

2. Complimentary Beer

For those who are of age, you can get a wristband for 2-3 free beers, depending on the time you arrive!

3. Free Food!

Yes-- more free stuff! There is always a large variety of options at Mayfest to satisfy your drunk (or sober) taste buds. The corn dogs and hamburgers always hit the spot when you need a midday pick-me-up.

4. It’s an all-day party!

Mayfest starts at 11 a.m., but the party starts even before that. Most students are up and drinking beginning as early as 9 a.m. There is a very brief intermission after Mayfest and then the party continues at the Dome for Block Party! Does anything sound better?

5. Block Party

After a great day at Mayfest with your friends, Block Party is an even better way to end the night. Although this part of the event is not free, it's definitely worth it. University Union always brings major artists that put on a great show. Some of the past headliners include Gucci Mane, Travis Scott, and the Chainsmokers.

Are you as excited for Mayfest as I am? Who do you think will play Block Party this year? I can't wait to find out.

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.
