Finally, it's summertime! After this long midwest winter and nonexistent spring, everyone needed summer to come. Although summer is an amazing time of the year, it's also a time where everyone is busy working and being an adult. But, it's also a wonderful time to reflect and experience everything that you have always wanted to do but had no time to do during school.

1. Go camping with friends

What's better than going somewhere with your best friends? Now imagine sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows during one of those warm summer nights under the stars. Even if you go camping in your backyard, there is something about sleeping in a tent with all your friends that is such an amazing summer memory.

2. Stay up to ungodly hours playing board games

Almost everyone has a story of what they swear by was the longest game of monopoly ever. Well, its time create that story with your best friends. Take all the money, make deals, and take over the world. Be aware board games have been known to get very intense and ruin friendships.

3. Movie day

There are a billion movies in this world. Some you will love and some you will question why you ever thought that movie would be good. Take at least one day during the summer to watch every movie that you have wanted to watch but always said you have no time. Who knows you might even fall in love with a movie you never thought you would like.

4. Do something that makes you uncomfortable

A YouTube channel named "Yes Theory" swears that seeking discomfort is the best way to grow. So go try something that makes you want to jump out of your skin or something that you have been too nervous to try.

5. Find yourself

School sucks. It takes apart of us away every year. No matter what it takes this summer really find yourself and grow as a person. Reflect on the past year and become one with you again.

Reflect, celebrate, do something you have never done before, and do your self a favor and make a summer bucket list.

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.
