As summer trucks along, it has either been flying by, creeping by slowly but surely or moving at some speed in between. Either way, as the end of summer approaches there are tons of thoughts and reflections to be considered about the time that has passed and what is to come.

1. "Literally what have I done all summer?"

This one is a pretty common thought. Sometimes, it feels like summer began just yesterday and there is so much that could've been accomplished that probably wasn't due to binge watching every show that has every existed, ever.

2. "Where did all of my money go?"

Even though it may feel like you've been doing more of not doing anything than actually doing something, doing something probably costs a lot more than you think.

3. "I'm so excited to go back to school."

Whether being excited to go back to school means being thrilled about starting new classes, coming closer to graduating, the start of football season, seeing all of your friends, having your independence again, and so much more, there is so much to look forward to with school starting right around the corner.

4. "But wait going back to school means endless hours of studying."

If you're like me, you probably have a love/hate relationship with studying. Once I start, I get into a groove, but it takes quite a lot of motivation to get there, motivation that hasn't been needed for 3 months of the summer.

5. "Ugh going back to school means I'm that much closer to the real world."

Personally, as excited as I am to grow up, I love college with a passion. They say that college is the best 4 years of your life and summer is the time when you get to pause growing up and take advantage of your time off in so many different ways.

6. "I meant to text you but lost track of time."

Leaving school, you probably say "omg we have to hang out this summer" to more people than you can count. From a young age, I learned that making the effort to actually see 100 people over the summer is a lot more difficult than it seems. Everyone goes their separate ways over the summer and that's totally ok. Just think of all of the stories you'll have to share when you finally reunite.

7. "I wonder if I changed this summer."

Whether your goal was to better yourself in any way this summer, or do something worthy of talking about; re-evaluating what you've actually done this summer, and remembering that there is still time for you to accomplish any of your goals, the middle of the summer is the perfect time to start checking things off of your summer bucket-list.

8. "I don't want this to end."

Summer break is one of the most refreshing times of year, even if you have responsibilities, there's still something about summer that is so relaxing, it's difficult to accept that it's coming to an end so make the most out of the time you have left... enjoy the little things.

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.

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.
