Summers at home are all about what you make of them. They may not be filled with all of the excitement that comes along with being at school, but they definitely do have their perks — check out these five tips on ways to take in every last bit of these three months at home.

1. Use this time period as a chance to grow

Summers can be used to do many different things. Whether you have an internship or a 9-5 job Monday through Friday, summer is the perfect opportunity to take some time for yourself and find out new things you haven't really had the chance to while in school. Whether you focus on your health, beauty, or maintaining friendships summer is the perfect time to do it!

2. Take on a new hobby you never knew you needed

This is the perfect time to figure yourself out. Use this time to try out new and different things you couldn't quite make time for while in school. This could potentially open up a million new doors for you and teach you something about yourself you never even knew!

3. Rekindle old friendships

Summer is the time to rekindle those old friendships that were hard to maintain over the school year. This can be used as the perfect opportunity to reconnect those friendships that may have slightly faded during the school year. You never know what may come about this or just how much you never knew you needed that new friendship in your life

4. Unplug from your phone

Summer is also a great time for really living in every single moment. Not saying you should not use your phone at all but definitely a time to be mindful of just how much you're using it. This is the time to put it away and really focus on your day-to-day life. It is amazing how much you can accomplish when you put the phone down for some time

5. Spend time with your family

For those of you that are away at college, and even those of you going to college, summer is the perfect opportunity to spend much needed time with your family. You don't get this chance when you are away at college and it is important to make the most of your time with them when you do get it. I promise you, your older future will thank you later for this one.

So whatever you choose to do with your summer, make sure to incorporate these five tips into it. With one month left, summer is ending faster than it seems. Make sure to make the most of your time at home before you're loaded with work and responsibilities. Don't forget, one day when you're getting ready to move out for good, you'll yearn for these precious times at home. Don't let this summer slip away — it's all in your hands.

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.

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.
