Just because you're not going on some wild spring break vacation doesn't mean you can't have a good time! Here are 10 things you can do at home to make sure you have one of the best breaks ever.

1. Rearrange/decorate your room at home

While most of us spend a lot of our time at our home away from home, that doesn't mean our actual homes can't be as comfortable as possible. Take the time to make your bedroom your own little oasis.

2. Read a book

How often do we get to read for pleasure instead of reading for a class?

3. Learn to cook or bake

Find an easy recipe you can bring back with you for when you're in a pinch at school.

4. Spend time with family 

They have missed you and you'll need their support to get you through the rest of the semester.

5. Find a new hobby

Whether it's knitting, scrap booking, exercising, etc. find something calming and fun you can bring back with you.

6. Start a new exercise regiment

Take your empty week or so to find a great exercise plan that works for you.

7. Have a spa day

Treat yourself and relax, you deserve it!

8. Catch up with old friends

While your other friends are on vacay, no better time than to catch up with your old friends from home.

9. Visit your old teachers

Our high school teaches are the ones who got us where we are today. They molded us and helped us get into our dream schools. Why not pay them a visit and say "thank you"?

10. SLEEP

Every college student NEEDS it. Catch up, take advantage of your down time, restore your body and your mind and get ready for the rest of the semester!

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.
