The Downfall of Summer --Boredom

Although summer is nice, relaxing and napping, some days are just not that fun and cause you to be very, very bored.

The Downfall of Summer --Boredom
Giphy

2 weeks ago I left college and came home for the summer. Leaving behind lots of memories and great people who live hours away. Summer sixteen was here, and was what I thought would be pretty eventful. Having something to do everyday with friends I haven't seen in months, spending a few days a week at my internship, heading to the beach and going to the gym. Which yeah, I did all that in the first 5 days of break going to different things around Buffalo, but now I've officially hit the boredom stage of summer vacation. So now I just sit and wait, and hope someone comes up with an idea that will allow me to break the boredom.

Don't get my wrong, I love summer and all the relaxing and unlimited naps that it offers but, unless you have a vacation planned, some days are just going to be super super boring (even a nap can't make certain days better). Like if the weathers bad and you don't want to spend money, it looks like you'll be stuck inside watching Netflix and napping. You could clean, but you might have to be REALLY bored for that one to happen. These past 14 days have been eventful, going from park to park, walking the trails, laying out at the beach, going out to eat, starting my internship, catching up with old friends but slowly I can see these random adventures die down and turning into me napping all-day.

Seriously, everyone has a life, and different responsibilities on a day-to-day basis so everyday can't be a random trip to Niagara Falls or downtown Buffalo to look at the scenery. But in-between friends having jobs, and other family vacations, or obligations, or work for yourself, or maybe an internship you must complete, kind of forces you to look elsewhere for some fun since not everyone is free at the same time. Therefore, you might have to ask your brothers to hangout... As a last resort, of course. Or sitting on your laptop refreshing Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram while re-watching Grey's Anatomy for the 6th time, but who's counting...

(How can you not re-watch it with a face like that to look at...)

Although I would love to be on summer vacation all the time, and not have to worry about the stresses of school and waking up early, but boredom is a terrible thing. Which is making me wish it was time to go back to Keuka already, with all the great people I met, but we still have two months. So it looks like I'm going to have to be really creative these next 2 months and go out of my comfort zone to break the boredom and try to have the best summer yet. So here's to making summer '16 a little less boring.

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.

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.
