Life is better by the pool!

Why Pool Days Are The Best
Scoopnest

Picture this. It feels like 100 degrees outside and you’re sweating profusely. There’s a pool nearby, calling your name. It instantly cools you off. This, right here, is why pool days are the best. Of course, there’s the ocean and lakes too, but pools don’t have animals in them.

With a pool, you can have water fights. When I was growing up and even to this day, my brother and I have always had water fights. We splash and dunk each other repeatedly. Usually I’m the one to get annoyed, but it’s all fun and games!

You can also tan too. I tan just fine while wearing sunscreen! During the summer, tanning is an almost must for me! I don’t get spray tans or go to tanning beds, so the sun is my friend on these hot days. I have to say, wear sunscreen! It does hurt when you take a shower at night and the hot water hits your sunburn. The pool is a blessing when you’re tanning and sweating, you can easily cool off!

When I was in middle school, pool parties always made you the cool kid. Everyone loved them! I mean, what’s not to love? I never got the chance to have pool parties because my birthday is in February and I didn’t have a pool, but I went to my fair share and they were definitely the best parties.

Another good thing about swimming is being able to work out! Working out in a pool is easy but it works! You don’t even have to do something strenuous, you can just keep moving. Wade in the water!

You don’t have to wear makeup at the pool either. Or look presentable. You can just throw on your bathing suit and tie your hair up or put a hat on. Then you’re good to go! If you wear makeup, you may just scare all of the children away when your mascara starts running down your face. This can also be a good thing!

The one thing I’ve seen the most through social media is people swimming with the cutest floaties. There are swans, donuts, and fruit looking floats. All of them are the cutest ways to swim in style!

Or you can be like Beyoncé and swim in money. This is how I like to swim, obviously.

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.
