It's almost that time, for college campuses to go quiet and the students to go home! Happy Thanksgiving!

1. I cannot wait to eat yummy thanksgiving food, I hate dining hall food

Yes, you miss your family and want to hang out with your friends but your number one priority is getting some good food.


2. Why are my professors giving us so much work, don't they know Thanksgiving is next week?

Some professors cancel classes for all of Thanksgiving week, others have an exam and project due that week. There is no in-between.

3. So if Thanksgiving is on a Thursday and classes are canceled Wednesday, I can go home on Monday or do I have to wait until Tuesday

*Calls mom* "All of my friends are coming home the Monday before so I should too right?"


4. Why don't I just go home the Friday before, I'm missing class either way...

Unless there is an exam or something due, there is no point in going to classes considering I probably won't do anything I can't do from my computer at home. If they do, do something in class I'm sure I can get the notes from a friend.

5. I should bring home lots of laundry since mom will do it and its free!

$1.25 a load can get expensive, so why pay for laundry if you're going home anyways?


6. I love my bed is much....can I bring it back to school with me?

Nothing compares to your comfy bed at home, no matter how many mattress pads and toppers you get, it's just not the same.


7. Can we make extra food so I can bring some back to school with me?

Did I mention how much I really hate dining hall food? I really, really hate it so please make extra of everything so I can survive until Christmas break!



8. I'm showering....without shoes on..... this is weird!

My feet can finally get cleaned, this is the weirdest feeling ever, god I hate showering at school!



9. Wait....my mom just told me I had to be home by 11.....I hate being home.

Going from no parental supervision to having a curfew is weird! At school I can go wherever, whenever with whoever I want. Being home is annoying because you have to tell your parents where you're going, who you're going with, for how long you're going, and you have to let them know if plans change!


10. Can I go back to college but not have any work?

I love my friends, living on my own, and some of the classes, but college would just be 100X better without any of the work!

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.
