13 Things To Do When Your WiFi Is Down

A couple of days ago, my home's WiFi stopped working. I didn't panic initially because normally I can fix it by unplugging and restarting the router. Unfortunately, that did not help at all. My mom called AT&T and they said the earliest a support service man could come fix it was 4 days later. We were both frustrated because "4 days was way too long."

This made me think about all the things I wasn't going to be able to do while at home this week. My phone's data was almost used up for the month so I couldn't even use my phone.

I was stuck.

Instead of freaking out, I decided that it wouldn't be so bad. I could spend my time doing other things like:

1. Read A Book

I'm a huge bookworm, so this is an easy one for me! Maybe even put up a hammock and read in it!

2. Paint Or Draw

I always forget how much fun it is to paint a canvas or doodle whatever I can think of.

3. Go For A Bike Ride

Since it is summer, the days are pretty nice weather-wise. I have a park nearby my house that I can ride my bike around and enjoy the outdoors.

4. Visit With Family

I am very close to my grandparents because they live right up the street from me. I frequently stop by to visit with them when I'm bored. They are always happy to see me.

5. Watch Live TV

Now, I know no WiFi means no Netflix... but you can still watch live TV. I've been watching "Friends" on TBS every day!

6. Bake A Dessert

Baking is an easy way to kill an hour or so. My favorite desserts to bake are brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Basic, I know.

7. Go Shopping With A Friend

Why not get out of the house and take a trip to the mall! That's what I did this week! Shopping is always a fun way to spend an afternoon.

8. Write A Short Story

I personally like to write, so this week I started on a new short story. If you have never tried this before, I recommend it! Use your creativity and write something unique!

9.Take A Bubble Bath

Everybody loves a bubble bath with bath bombs, right?

10. Walk Your Dog

My dog isn't really one who likes walks, but most dogs love them. So, this is a way to get outside and spend time with your pup!

11. Play Board Games

Playing board games with family is always super fun! Some of my favorites are LIFE, Yahtzee, and Balderdash!

12. Paint Your Nails

I love having my nails painted but never take the time to actually paint them. I figured since I had the time, I would. Now my nails look nice and freshly painted.

13. And If All Else Fails... Take A Nap

I am the QUEEN of naps. Napping is the easiest thing in the world for me to do and is a sure-fire way to kill time!

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
