Spring Break is a time that every college student looks forward to since it's a time of rest and relaxation.

A time and place of utter bliss, if you will. While many students retreat to tropical places and trips, there are also students headed home for their well-deserved break. While at home, there are so many things to do and places to see.

So if you find yourself looking for some inspiration for what do you over your Spring Break, here you go:

1. Take a day-trip or weekend trip to a nearby place.

There's nothing I love more than taking a trip to a new place or some of my favorite places near home. It's great to hop onto the train and go into the city for a day. It's a place filled with new adventures each time you go.

2. Go shopping.

It is the absolute best time to start stocking up on new clothes for the spring and even start your summer shopping. Treat yourself; you deserve it after all the work you have had for the past couple of weeks.

3. Start or finish the book sitting on your shelf.

I have about six books that are currently sitting on my shelf. I mean to read them, but I never have the time at school. Curl up on your couch or even outside (if it's warm enough) and get reading.

4. Spend time with your friends from home.

Have a girls night and get together with your friends from home. Nothing's better than lying around and watching a movie together. Rest and relaxation at its best.

5. Spend time with your family.

Break is the best time to catch up with your family. I love getting to day-trip to go see my family and spend time with them. Even taking the time to catch up with family that you don't get to see often is so nice. It's the perfect opportunity.

6. Go visit friends who aren't on Spring Break.

Everyone always has different time off for spring break, so take advantage of the opportunity. Travel to a friend and stay the night. See what their campus has to offer and meet some new people.

7. Sleep.

Honestly take a nap, sleep until one o'clock in the afternoon; your body needs the recharge. Take advantage of quiet, uninterrupted hours and hours of sleep. Your body will thank you later.

8. Start that new series on Netflix.

You have a whole week to binge watch. While it is dangerous and serious damage can be done, take the opportunity and start the series you have wanted to watch. The options are endless, so take advantage people.

9. Go outside.

Go for a run around the neighborhood or walk your dog. It's time to go outside, get some fresh air and recharge. Even just eating a meal outside with your family can help you relax.

10. Get organized.

Clean out your closet or your room. Maybe catch up on some schoolwork. I know, I know, nobody wants to do homework over break, but it's a good opportunity to get ahead on your work. Clean out your closet or your room. They don't call it spring cleaning for nothing.

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.
