Thank You, Summer

Because it was much-needed and I'm very appreciative.

Thank You, Summer

And as the final days of summer come to an end, it's safe to say I'm ready to be back at school. But don't get me wrong; this summer has been much-needed and very enjoyable. It's always nice to have a bit of a break from everyone and everything. So thank you, Summer, for…

1. Refilling my debit card.

After a summer of working, I'm no longer a broke college student constantly relying on my parents for money... until December at least.

2. Giving me some me time.

When you're constantly surrounded by people at college, sometimes you often forget the importance of having time to yourself.

3. Giving me free time.

With the constant activities and obligations at school, sometimes there's no time to do the things you love.

4. Letting me sleep in.

Amen. I don't know how I'm going to prepare for the 2 a.m. bedtimes and 8 a.m. wakeups.

5. Being back with my friends and family.

It was nice being back with those who were missed when I was gone.

6. Vacation.

Because everyone loves a nice trip exploring.

7. Actual food.

As we all know, Greencastle is not known for it's finest dining. Home-cooked meals and unlimited restaurant options were great to choose from these past few months.

8. A little bit of color.

Everyone loves having a good tan... or sunburn.

9. Fun festivities and adventures.

There's so much to do during the summer that just isn't the same during the other seasons. Lake days, outdoor concerts, running outside, Jeep drives.

10. A bit of a cleanse.

DePauwty goes hard; I definitely appreciated the break from going out. But don't get me wrong; I'm missing/totally ready.

11. Making me realize how much I love my school.

Usually I would dread the day when I'd have to return back to school; now, I can't wait.

12. Making my icecream addiction okay

Because summer is the only time it's decently acceptable to eat ice cream every night. The perfect treat when its hot out...as for me, it's good anytime.

13. Catching me up on my favorite shows

Sometimes at school I have no time to watch some of my favorite shows. Over the summer though, I get to binge through them all...and even some extras. Thank God for Netflix.

14. Letting me be active

I love working out and staying in shape. Over the summer, this is so much easier on a day to day basis. Whether it's running, walking, going on a bike ride, swimming, or anything. Getting outside and being active is much more enjoyable when the weather is nice.

15. Back to school shopping

I love to shop, and going back to school just gives me another reason/excuse to buy a new wardrobe of clothes for the fall!

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.
