For most, summer means time for Netflix. But you have three months, so you need something that won’t carry over into the busy times of fall semester. It is a time to numb your brain, kick back, and relax. And I have just the shows to do it with.

1. "Awkward" (MTV 2011-2016) Available on Hulu, Amazon Video, iTunes, YouTube

Awkward does the most beautiful job of numbing my brain. It follows Jenna, a rather annoying wannabe writer, through her inner monologue as she navigates love and life as a high school—and in the later seasons, college—student. Spanning five seasons, it is the perfect length for a dedicated viewer.

2. "H2O: Just Add Water" (Network 10, 2006-2010) Available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, iTunes, YouTube

If five seasons is too long or you’re not into side bangs, check out H2O: Just Add Water. Spanning a measly three seasons, it is the perfect short summer show. Best part? It’s about teenage mermaids AND it’s Australian. It is a beautiful combination of boy drama, Australian accents, late 2000s fashion, and mermaids. Truly majestic.

3. "Dance Academy" (ABC, 2010-2013) Available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, iTunes, YouTube

Dance Academy is dripping with drama to fill your boring summer days. Another calm, cool, and collected three-season show, Dance Academy is another deliciously juicy Australian show. It follows Tara Webster, a small-town girl who moves to the big city of Sydney, and her classmates as they compete to be picked up by a national dance company.

4. "Jane By Design" (Freeform, 2012) Available on Amazon Video, iTunes

For our busier bees, Jane By Design is one season. It literally happened so fast I nearly forgot about it. But what I do remember is that it was drama filled and oh-so-fun. High school student Jane Quimby gets a job as a fashion executive’s assistant, but her new boss thinks she’s an adult. Jane can’t lose her dream job, so what does she do? She fakes it. Mix in some boy drama, and you have a high fashion dramatic masterpiece.

5. "The Carrie Diaries" (The CW, 2013-2014) Available on Netflix

Through its short two seasons, The Carrie Diaries follows a pre-Sex-And-The-City teenage Carrie Bradshaw as she juggles her first internship, first boyfriend, and first love—New York City. It is filled with all kinds of drama: job, boy, friend, and family. All set to the iconic tune of the early 80s. What more could you want?

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
