Do you have a lot of free time this summer? Do you not know what to do with your free time? Well then keep reading. Here are some great suggestions for what to do when you are bored over summer (or anytime really).

1. Watch paint dry

A classic, but very effective.

2. Watch the grass grow

Another classic. If you want to really spice it up, you can mow the lawn then watch the grass grow—this insures optimal growth for watching.

3. Organize the spice drawer

Whether you organize it alphabetically, by country of origin, or by frequency of use, your parents will be grateful that you took some initiative and cleaned.

4. Watch the entire video of a fireplace on YouTube

Ya know, the ones people play at Christmas parties when the don't have a fire place and it just loops for hours. Cozy.

5. Count grains of rice

Make sure to count multiple time to make sure you have an accurate inventory count. I suggest counting once a week.

6. Watch everything on Netflix

I mean everything. This will take up a good chunk of time off your hands.

7. Question your existence

Why are we here? What's at the edge of the universe? How is space expanding? Are parallel universes real?

8. See how many pieces of gum you can chew at once

It's like chubby bunny, but with gum. I advise having someone near when you attempt this just in case you puke or choke.

9. Play sweet or sour

You can do this in the comfort of your driveway. Maybe have some chalk at hand so you can keep track of which neighbors are sweet and which ones are sour.

10. Count how many strands of hair you have on your head

Start with a ballpark estimate and compare to your final count. If you find a good way to remember which hairs you've already counted, please let me know.

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.
