How To Up Your Social Media Game This Summer, Even If You're Not Going On Vacation

Arguably, students over the summer are split into three types of categories. The first is the envy of everyone. We all know those people. The ones who go on exotic vacations left and right, and seem to rub them in everyone else's faces. In fact, this type of person is by no means 'rare,' making the envy even worse.

Another type of student over the summer is the polar opposite, always complaining how bored they are and asking if anyone wants to hang out with them.

Then, there are people in the middle. Whether they are annoying for half the summer and envied the other is entirely up to them. For some people, it is very difficult to know if your social media is giving away how boring your summer is. So, I have devised a few tips to make sure you can avoid revealing how dull some of your summer days are if you're into that sort of thing.

First and foremost, stop posting that you're bored. This is obviously the most dead-giveaway that you are, indeed, bored. These type of posts are not always the straightforward "I'm bored" Snapchat story that absolutely no one wants to see, but also posts including asking if anyone wants to hang out. As previously stated, this is definitely something to avoid. Not only is it not an interesting post and gives away that you have no plans, but you are almost guaranteed to have no results. If you want to hang out with someone, try messaging people individually.

For a little-less obvious approach, your posts can "lie by implying." This simply means making a post that makes it seem like you're doing something more fun than you actually might be. Now, I am not suggesting actually lying. These type of posts can be similar to the "Hobby Lobby Challenge" and taking pictures by a creek or pond that appear more like a lake or beach.

Another important thing to remember is that if you are at home or at your job all the time, you might want to avoid posting there every day. After a very short time, it can be assumed exactly how you spent your summer. And even though this is true, most social media users would never like to admit that that is all they do.

But above all, it is important to actually enjoy your summer and not just make it so everyone else is envious of it.

Even though that is something many of us want deep down, it is not the most important. As long as you are enjoying your summer and making every moment count, your posts will hopefully be able to carry along that sunshine with you. And what better post can you get than that?

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.
