Never waste your vacation money on an $8 water bottle in the airport.

Traveling is fun, and who doesn't love a little getaway? I personally love traveling and anything that is related to travel. I recently did a lot of traveling to get to where I am now. I would be lying if I didn't say that I learned some of the best tips from it all. So, I have come up with the best tips that I have taken out of this journey that is not yet over and will have even more traveling in my time over here!

1. Bring SNACKS!

I can not stress this enough on how much it will save you. For starters, anyone who's been in an airport knows that no food is cheap and we want to make sure to save that money for our vacation rather than an airport snack. Make sure to bring enough food for when you're departing to and from your destination. Depending on your flight, the snacks are usually not big and sometimes not free. By bringing yourself snacks, you don't need to sit through the whole flight hungry. Instead, you can be that person that everyone will envy because you have a nice mixed nut mixture for the ride. In the end, no one ever regrets bringing snacks with them, so from now on make sure to pack that snack bag.

2. A portable charger will be your best friend

Now people typically just bring chargers and assume that they'll just find an outlet, but we all know that all the outlets are usually being used and often people are not keen to let you have their outlet. So by bringing a portable charger, you won't have to worry about searching for a charger or having a dead phone in an unknown place. Plus when you're out and about on your vacation you'll never need to worry about your phone dying while you're out having a blast!

3. Bring some sort of jacket

I can thank my Girl Scout days for this because I usually don't go anywhere without a jacket! It's good to always be prepared, especially when you're traveling. I don't know if it's just me but airports and airplanes are always COLD! So rather than being freezing while sitting and waiting for your flight or during your flight, you'll be warm and comfy with a jacket.

4. Drink all the water that you can while traveling

This can be done every day but it can be essential when you're traveling. A lot of flying can cause dehydration and that's never fun. Dehydration can also make you more jetlagged, especially if you're doing a lot of traveling at once. So do yourself a favor and make sure to drink up while you're traveling. Bring yourself an empty water bottle and fill it up after security, that way you don't need to buy an $8 water bottle in the airport and waste that vacation money.

5. Your carry-on could be the thing that saves your life!

It's everyone's worst nightmare and it happens to more than we might expect. No one likes to have their bag lost or stolen when traveling. So a tip that I learned is to put anything you'd need for the day that you land plus a few outfits in your carry-on. That way, if your bag does get lost, you won't be totally screwed. So do yourself a favor and make sure to do this for yourself when you're traveling.

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.
