Summer Vacation As Told By Squirrels

Summer and squirrels: two of my favorite things.

Summer Vacation As Told By Squirrels
CBS News

Summer is the best time of the year. You have zero academic obligations (unless you're taking summer classes, in which case, I'm sorry), the warm, sunny weather can cure any bad mood, and you can do what ever your heart desires during the wonderful time you have before heading back to school. You can be lazy on the days that you just don't feel like doing anything, or you can be as active as you want and run all over the place for six days straight. It is three months of freedom that you have to make the most of, so you try to make every day worth it. If you don't absolutely love summertime, I might think that you're a little bit crazy, and what better way to describe summer vacation than through a narration by squirrels.

Leaving school on the last day, you look like this.

You watch all the upperclassmen graduate, and you celebrate with free food and cake at all the graduation parties you were invited to attend.

For the first few weeks off, you awkwardly lay around because you aren't really sure what to do with all your free time.

After being rejuvenated from ten hours of sleep every day, you are ready to take on the world and do whatever you want.

Roasting marshmallows and making s'mores is the epitome of summertime. You will probably do this every week (and if you don't, you're missing out).

You spend everyday sunbathing in your backyard hoping to get the ultimate tan.

You have counted down the days until you hop on a plane and go spend time outside of your hometown (preferably somewhere even warmer than home).

You remember the beach is such a wonderful and relaxing place, and you don't ever want to go back home (but you have no choice).

Ice cream is always a must when it's hot out, so you usually have some everyday and hope that it doesn't ruin your perfect summer body.

You and your friends always have a cookout for the 4th of July complete with fireworks, sparklers, and anything else that combines fire and loud noises.

Summer just seems to fly by, so you take a trip to the lake to spend quality time with all your friends while swimming and water-skiing.

You go to the county fair, and as you walk around, all the carnies look at you like this trying to get you to play their games.

When summer finally reaches its end, you are totally dreading going back to school.

Every year, summer comes and goes so quickly. It always seems that there is so much stuff to do in so little time before it's over for another year, but make sure to make it last and do something fun (just like these squirrels) every day!

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.
