5 Ideas For Summertime
Catherine Linnihan

The weather is starting to get hot outside and it is the month of May. Schools will be letting out soon. You know what that means! It is summertime! While summer is fastly approaching, you may be wondering what you might do while having a break of school for a couple of months! I have some suggestions for you that might be helpful!

1. Go Shopping!

Who does not like shopping? Go to a mall or to a store that you have been wanting to go to for a while and enjoy it while you have the time! Whether you have the money or not to shop, it is still fun to window shop , so you can items to your wish list!

2. Take a vacation!

Why would you not take a vacation unless you did not have the money! Most people go to the beach as their vacation for the summer. You could also go to the beach, Gatlinburg, Tn., Walt Disney World, Chattanooga, Tn.,and other popular/major cities in the United States! People sometimes travels overseas to see how other countries are like. Whatever vacation you decide to go on, I bet it will be a good vacation!

3. Go to camp!

If you are in elementary, middle school, or high school, find a local church or organization and go with them to a local camp! Some people goes to camps where you have a community bathroom and different cabins and some others goes to camps where amenities like a hotel or at least to where the cabin/facility has a bathroom located in it. Camp is always fun and enjoyable! I always enjoyed it when I was a camper every summer! Usually when you go to camp, you have recreation every day, devotions and worship services if you go on a church camp and various other things that all depends on what type of camp you go on! Some other camps could be associated with school, like sports camps or band camps to get you prepared and focused for the season! They are usually for most of the day for a week, if not longer. Camp was always a highlight to my summer!

4. Get a job!

Everyone could have some extra money in their wallets to either spend or save for later! You could work at a fast food restaurant, clothing store, or retail store or even at a camp! Try to find a place that you think you would enjoy working for a short amount of time or take a chance and pick a place you like and see if you get the job there!

5. Spend time with family and friends!

Most importantly, take time to be with family and friends while you are not in school or while taking a break from work! Especially spend time with friends or family members that you have not seen in a while! It is always great to see familiar faces while you are taking a break from school! Hang out with some of your best friends and not have to worry about school!

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.
