If you're searching for something unique to try with your friend group, here are five fun activities to try!

1. Make matching bracelets 

From someone who is not the most talented at this type of thing: it is not that hard. All you need to do is take a piece of cardboard, cut it into a circle, and cut eight evenly spaced slices in it. Take seven long strands of yarn and put them in the slots. Tie all the ends together in the middle of the cardboard and start moving the yarn from one slot to the empty one! Continue until you have the desired length. Tie it off and cut the excess off! I knot mine so it can't come off, but feel free to make a small hole to fasten it through!

2. Design initial flower signs 

This is something that I love to do and is so fun. All you'll need is a wooden cut out of your initial, glue, and fake flowers. Get whatever color flowers you want and start cutting their stems off. Glue the flowers to your wooden initial until it's full and then you're done!

3. Canvas paintings 

This is such a fun idea that I am dying to do with one of my best friends!! Get two canvases and paint. Each person starts with a canvas and their paint. After 1-2 minutes you switch. You keep doing this until the paintings are done!

4. Make a flower wall

This is a little more of a time consuming task, however I think it's worth it. All you need is something to attach the flowers to such as cardboard, Styrofoam, or a wooden board with holes in it, flowers and glue. Cut the flowers' stems off to the desired length and then glue the flowers to the attachment! Depending on how big you are making this, it could be time-consuming, but it is so cool once it's done!

5. Make matching sweatshirts

This is a simple and not a time-consuming project at all. All you need is an iron, clothing patches, and sweatshirts. Take the patches and iron them on the sweatshirt wherever you want them. You can do as many patches as you want wherever you want!

Try these fun activities out with your friends! You'll always have a fun little memory from that day as well.

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.
