Swimming is a great way to exercise or cool off in the summer
Margaret Whittel

Swimming is an all around great sport many people do it for fun or they do it competitively. It is a great way to stay in shape or cool off on a summer day.

1. Swimmers always have at least five bathing suits because we have practice every day and normally people don't wear the same suit unless they really have to. (I did a few times).

2. We have multiple pairs of goggles and we all have our favorite kind. I prefer Speedo Vanquisher because they suction to your face better in my opinion.

3. You've had multiple swim caps break on you. They really hurt when they break especially when it's on your head, they are latex ones instead of silicone.

4. You have so many swim caps that you can't even count them all on one finger. Everyone gets one for my high school team and then we all have so many extras it's not even funny. I have seven or eight with my name on them from school.

5. Racing suits are hard to come by. Normally you find your two favorite kinds and stick with them. My favorites are TYR and Speedo. Your suit also has to be super tight if you want to go fast. Swim suits are the most important thing because there are so many kinds out there you just have to find your favorite brand.

Swimming is an all around fun sport that can be a bit stressful sometimes; but all in all, it is a very fun sport. It's something I personally love and hope that enthusiasts will enjoy and relish

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.
