5 Products That I Couldn't Have Survived This Summer Without
Georgia Burge

Now that Summer 2018 is drawing to a close, I've been thinking back on some of the things that made this summer one of the best ones yet. While the experiences I've had take up the majority of the spots on that list, there are a few physical things that made my sweet summer possible. Here are just a few:

1. PopSocket and PopSocket Car Mount

For the longest time, I had no way to mount my phone for hands-free use while I was driving. That wasn't really an issue until I started having to commute a fair distance for my job. The PopSocket is useful all on its own, but the car mount accessory gives it a whole different use. You can browse PopSockets and their accessories here

2. Hydroflask

I have already expressed my love for my HydroFlask before on this platform (which you can check out here), but I'm happy to share about it again. I doubt that very few, if any, of us drink enough water in a day. But owning a HydroFlask has made it so much easier for me to come close to accomplishing that goal. It almost makes drinking water trendy. You can snag a Hydro of your own here.

3. Trader Joe's Coconut Cold Brew Coffee

Okay, I know this sounds basic, but hear me out. I've never been a big coffee drinker, but it became almost necessary when I started working weird hours at my job. This stuff was super easy to prepare and tasted good enough to get me semi-addicted to it. If you're not a coffee fan but you're looking to ease yourself into the world of coffee, give this a try.

4. Passion Planner

Having a daily planner to organize my weeks was essential in keeping my summer productive and as stress-free as possible. I just received my new Passion Planner for the school year and I am so beyond ready to start using it for my classes.

5. Knock-Off Birkenstocks

Much like probably every other white girl in the entire world, these type of sandals were my go-to footwear for months until I eventually wore them out beyond repair. They go perfectly with almost any summery outfit and are super comfy to boot.

Even though summer is coming to a close, I'm thankful for all the wonderful memories I made and the products that helped me enjoy my summer to the fullest potential!

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.
