We've all had those moments while packing for a vacation when we pick something up to put in our suitcase, and that little voice in our head goes "do you really need to take that?" The smart people listen to that little voice and tuck the item safely back where it belongs. But the other 95 percent of us go ahead and pack it because "just in case." For all of you, here are some things you definitely shouldn't forget to pack this year.

1. Tons of tanning oil

If you don't come back to school with a tan, did you even go on spring break? Don't bring any sunscreen- SPF and good skin care are so overrated. You want to pack as much tanning oil as possible so you can back to school super dark as a signal that yeah, you went somewhere cool over spring break.

2. Three or four extra outfits

Who knows -- you might end up going out to a fancy dinner each night! Maybe you should bring your formal dress just in case?? You should definitely use all of the extra room in your suitcase to pack clothes you probably won't wear instead of leaving room for souvenirs. Borrowing from siblings/friends is so overrated.

3. Your nicest RayBans

No, you're totally not going to lose them on the beach! They definitely won't be caked in sunscreen and sand. And there's no way you'll crush them in the bottom of your beach bag. Bring them just for the Insta value.

4. Your dignity

"I'm so glad that I didn't drink too much, that I stayed out of the sun, and had a safe, responsible trip," said no one on spring break ever.

5. Your favorite jewelry

Since you're not going home for break, it's perfectly logical that because you miss your family, you should bring a precious family heirloom on vacation to feel closer to them. Earrings from grandma? Necklace from your mom?? Nothing bad would ever happen to those.

6. A strapless bikini

Beach volleyball? Ocean wave frolicking? General drunken debauchery? For memories that your friends (and the cute guys you're trying to impress) will never let you forget, bring your most nip-slip worthy suit.

7. Lots of nice shoes for the beach

You should definitely wear your cute expensive flip flops on the beach! Because they won't get ruined by sand or sunscreen and you probably definitely won't lose them somewhere. Leave your trust Old Navy flipflops at home.

8. A few towels

If you're going to the beach/pool, you definitely need to bring your own towels. Hotels never give you pool towels, and no town by the beach would sell towels to tourists! By all means, waste some space in your small suitcase with a towel for each day.

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.
