Satisfy Your Inner Travel Bug

Not everyone has the means to travel. We already know that the whole idea that “everyone can travel abroad in college” is a lie. Yeah, semesters abroad are more affordable, but majors and classes get in the way. Summers abroad are more doable time-wise, but the costs are often outrageous. If you get financial aid like I do, you may stand a fighting chance, but I’m still struggling to scrape the cash together. If you don’t have financial aid which means your parents are well-off, that still doesn’t mean their family has the extra funds to fork over to their child all willy-nilly. It’s cruel that it’s advertised like anyone can do it. If you’re suffering from wanderlust like I am, here are a few tips to placate your travel bug without breaking the bank.

1. Steal a car

Then you can go anywhere, basically for free. All you need to pay for is gas. Learn how to lock-pick on the internet and see where your dreams can take you!

2. Steal someone’s identity

If you commandeer someone’s life and credit cards, then anything you do is free. Besides visiting your dream destination, you can also buy that cute new top you’ve been wanting.

3. Sue the school

Mostly for false advertising. You might wiggle out of there with a few extra bucks. Who knows? Not me. I've never sued anyone. It's on my bucket list.

4. Rob a bank

People still do that, right?

5. Hijack a plane

Maybe don’t do this one.

6. Become homeless

Then the world becomes one big adventure because you don’t have a home to go back to. Take it from Squidward. He loved it.

7. Buy calendars

Lots of ‘em. They’ve got loads, highlighting pretty sunsets, national parks, and even mountains. Let your inner hiker shine as you look on those splendid, rolling hills.

8. Go the next town over

Anywhere new is somewhere new. This one is the real one guys, please don't do the others. Check out a new cafe, or go into that local bookstore you’ve always walked by. Grab a friend or go alone. Travelling doesn’t have to entail that you leave the country. Do some exploring in your own backyard.

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.
