This is a response to "9 Things I Have On My Summer Bucket List That You Don't Want To Miss.”

Even though summer is a few months away doesn’t mean that you can start thinking ahead about what you want to do with your break! Making a bucket list of things you’d like to do or achieve can help you map out the summer, here are some ideas to get you started!

1. Go on a road trip with your friends.

Make a joint playlist, pack some of your favorite snacks, and hit the road! Road trips are a great opportunity to learn more about your friends while traveling and saving some money!

2. Get active in the outdoors.

There’s nothing like a hot girl walk in the summer. You can also try kayaking, swimming, cycling, or running. Summer is a great time to get active and try a new hobby.

3. Try learning a new language.

Honestly, one of the hardest things to do. But downloading Duolingo and learning a bit each day will help you train your brain during the summer.

4. Go camping.

As a former Girl Scout, I’m obligated to say that camping during the summer is necessary. However, glamping at an Airbnb cabin is always an option as well!

5. Travel somewhere new.

Summer is all about trying new things and seeing new places. Whether it’s down the road from your hometown or in another country, traveling somewhere new can give you a new perspective and more confidence!

6. Do some volunteer work.

Make a difference in your community over the summer! Find local volunteer opportunities, choose a cause that you’re passionate about, and get involved. Volunteering will help you learn more about the needs of your community as well as teach you valuable life skills.

7. Start a daily gratitude journal.

I know, keeping up with journaling is tough. However, a gratitude journal can help you pay attention to the good things that are happening in your life that you may otherwise take for granted. Feeling thankful for the things around you can help boost your mood and relationships!

8.  Declutter and have a garage sale.

One thing about me: I love garage sales. Declutter your home and closet (spring cleaning!) to make some extra cash in the summer.

9. Go to a concert.

Truly a summer necessity. Whether you’re going alone or with your friends, concerts are a great place to have some fun, see great artists, and feel a sense of community. Have a blast and dance the night away!

10. Start a new hobby.

As I said, summer is the season to learn new things! Some ideas are photography, gardening, hiking, making jewelry, reading, crocheting, journaling, and cooking.

Even if you have a summer internship or class, be sure to have some fun this summer! Make the most of the break you have and spend it with the people you love.

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.
