If You Take Your College Squad On Tour

Squad trips are essential to surviving summer break.

College is a life-changing chapter in our lives, and one of the best parts is finding a close group of people to share it with. When you're at school, you do literally everything together — study, go to class, eat, nap, adventure, and so much more. Because of this, it's a huge adjustment when everyone parts ways for either the summer or after graduating, so this obviously calls for road trips to see each other. When we were kids, there was a book we loved called "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie," and I realized that, in a weird way, it connected to us because if you give a college student a squad, a chain of adventures are bound to follow just like with the mouse and his cookie. So, I present to you, "If You Take A Squad On Tour."

If you take a squad on tour, then they'll probably want to find a fun place to go. This requires travel, and travel always requires two things — taking photos of landmarks with their Snapchat filters to document the journey, and having jam sessions in the car.

Once the entire squad arrives, they'll want to go on an adventure, so you go to the zoo. There's a lot for you to see, so you take lots of photos to remember the time you fulfilled your lifelong dream.

If the squad walks around for a bit, they might also find sunflowers that are taller than they are!

When you go to the zoo, you also get to directly watch the animals underwater as they swim around in their tanks. This means there might be a place to sit inside where it's nice and cool, and this is a great opportunity for another squad photo.

After an afternoon at the zoo, the squad will probably want some snacks, so they leave to get ice cream! The day has worn them out, so it's probably a good idea to take a squad nap before dinner.

If you give a squad a nap, they'll regain some energy, so it's time for more fun. The squad will play games and watch movies, and they also spend time with pets.

If a squad is ready for bed, then they'll definitely want hugs goodnight. They'll part ways for the evening, but they'll be ready for more adventures in the morning. If a squad is ready for more adventures, then they'll probably go on a donut run before their morning hike. Hikes, however, require energy, so the squad lays on the floor for a while, yet again, before leaving.

For breakfast, the squad sits in the same seats they did at dinner the night before. If someone sits in a different seat, then the seating order will be messed up. When a squad goes on a hike, sometimes they find fun trees to climb on. They might also do parkour on handrails they find.

As the day begins to fly by, the squad will eventually have to part ways for the rest of the summer. If the friends are going to travel home, then they're going to want some snacks first.

The car rides home will probably include more jam sessions, so the squad members will have their Spotify playlists ready to go. The squad had an incredible weekend, and they're all happy they got to see each other.

If a squad parts ways, then they will probably, well, more like definitely, be sad, but they know it's not goodbye — it's only a see you later. So, how do you fix this? I guess you'll have to take a squad on tour.

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.
