The 5 Best Things About Traveling With Your Friends
Spencer Nelson

Over the past three or so years I have had several opportunities to take a few trips with my favorite people: my friends! If you've never had the chance to hop on a bus, car, plane, or train with your besties then it's time to break out your best road trip playlists and take off. Whether you're going across the world or across the state, traveling with your best friends is as rewarding to your relationships as it is to your wellbeing. So here are 5 reasons for you to pack your bags and your besties and hit the road.

1. You'll grow closer

Whether you're spending long hours on a plane or taking a short ride in a car, you and your friends will bond! You'll form new inside jokes and have stories you'll remember forever.

2. You'll discover who is neat...and who is messy

While traveling with your friends you'll quickly discover who is a fan of keeping things organized and who treats the entire car as a trash can. You live and you learn.

3. You'll make new memories

During your trip you and your friends will make memories that will last a lifetime. From losing your wallet at a rock climbing facility (yes, this really happened) to crying at the sight of the Eiffel Tower, you and your besties will rehash the good times for years to come.

4. You'll get that perfect shot for Insta

Hopefully your friends have all your best angles figured out, or you find an unseemly talented stranger to take your photos. But if not, the self timer function will alway get you right.

5. You'll have a piece of home with you

Bringing your friends along for the journey is the best way to fight off those homesick blues. With the right people every turn is a new adventure.

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.
