10 Things Everyone Misses About College In The Summer
R. O.

After finishing my first year of college, I was excited to take a break and spend some much-needed relaxation time to myself. But after a short month, I already want to go back. The truth is, if you aren't even the slightest bit upset about not being on campus, then you're not in the right school.

If you do find yourself longing for days back on campus, these are just 10 of countless reasons why you might miss school:

1. You can't barge into your best friends' dorm rooms every day.

It's comforting to know that your friends are less than a 5-minute walk away when you need something.

2. Football and other sports seasons.

There's nothing like a college sporting event. It's too difficult to describe the excitement roaring through the stands each game day. Whether it's football, soccer, basketball, or lacrosse, the support from the student body is endless.

3. Philanthropy.

Because what makes you feel better than helping someone else who needs it more than you?

4. Your parents don't watch your every move.

This is a big one. I love you mom and dad, but you really need to let me start doing my own thing. Technically, I am an adult now.

5. Restaurants only available in your college town.

There's nothing more special than ordering your favorite food late at night with your best friends after a long night out.

6. Partying at home just isn't the same.

It's much easier to be able to walk to the parties or take Ubers with your friends, as opposed to having to figure out who's going to drive each night.

7. Being lazy and not getting yelled at for it.

This is basically self-explanatory.

8. Having food ready for you whenever you want it.

Although the typical dining hall food may be terrible, it's a lot easier to order out than it is to cook and clean up after yourself.

9. Knowing what you're going to do every day.

It actually is hard to get up in the morning without knowing what class you're going to that day or which party you're going to that night. Without my weekly meetings scheduled, I am a wreck.

10. Your roommate.

The constant support and laughs definitely don't go unnoticed. Nothing beats making memories with your best friend.

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.
