Winter Break. Every college students favorite nightmare. A time where we get a chance to come home for a few weeks to celebrate the holidays with family and friends, enjoy some of Mom's home-cooked meals, and converse on our absolute favorite topics about being away at school. I know we all try to avoid it, but we're bound to face these dreadful questions at some point. They just make winter break so much more cheerful, am I right? Here's a few you're going to hear....enjoy!

1. How's school going?

The number one most asked question of all time. And the answer? Great. College is just great. But we both know how it's really going...

2. Do you have all A's?

Tip: If you start laughing, it'll hide the tears from the pain of your last exam.

3. What classes are you taking?

"English, Math, and Science and I LOVE them ALL." But, you really want to say "Lit105, Econ130, BioChem 210 and they will be the death of me."

4. How many credits is that?

Hold on while I add that up for you...and no I'm not squeezing a gym class into that schedule.

5. What are your plans for after college?

Good question because I have no idea. I don't even know what I'm going to do with my life tomorrow. Maybe I'll take a nap or watch a season of "Grey's Anatomy." But who knows what I'll be doing in three years.

6. Are you dating anyone right now?

There it is...That dreadful question Grandma just had to ask...Just smile and maybe she'll stop.

7. Well, WHY aren't you dating anyone right now?

Priorities Grandma...a.k.a food.

8. What do you do on the weekends?

Oh, you know, I just hang out with friends and stuff. Nothing too crazy! Just don't look at my Snapchat story on Friday and Saturday nights.

9. Are you spending your money wisely?

Let's be real here. What money? I'm a broke college student, remember?

10. You're eating healthy and staying active right?

Sure! If you count getting up from the couch to walk to the fridge staying healthy and active.


Happy Holidays Everyone!

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.
