The 10 Minute Musical.ly Difference
Samantha Kasselman

College is so different than high school. It is such a unique period of time in one's life. For me, I went from having a non-stop schedule filled with school from 7:40-2:55 and then dance until late at night. Of course, homework and sleep (on a good night) fit in there as well.

College; however, doesn't have a schedule. Some classes don't even have required attendance. I don't have to be involved nor do I have to go to this meeting nor do I have to do my homework nor is my mom cooking chicken at 7:00 pm sharp and only at 7:00 pm sharp. Instead, the dining hall is open all day long and the homework isn't required. I make my own choices based on what I create for my day.

While high school is about the dependence created for each student on their schedule, college is about the independence. This independence became a positive as I was enjoying my girls night in this Tuesday. It became clear that every night in college was the sleepover I had dreamed of having as a young girl.

Zoey 101 was every girl's dream. Zoey was at a boarding school where she made new friends, had new romances and ran her life. She had sleepovers all the time. Hung out with her friends whenever she wanted to. Oh, and she lived in Malibu.

Although the University of Michigan is not Malibu, I can happily say I'm living like Zoey 101. After a day of class, work, laboratory experiments, and dinner at the sorority, I was able to come home to my best friends.

And as any best friends would, our girls night in consisted of the 10-minute difference. 10 minutes of dancing and singing and happiness while making the Musical.lys that social media would say is a pastime for college students.

These Musical.ly's; however, are no past time.

They're the 10 minutes I get to just be a kid. They're the 10 minutes I get to run free from all my worries about the "adulting" search college is for. They're the 10 minutes I get to live like Zoey 101 where everlasting slumber parties are real.

Musical.ly's are the 10-minute ultimate stress reliever that makes everyone smile and laugh until they drop–literally.

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.
