10 Thoughts College Kids Have During Winter Break

A glimpse into the average college kid's thought process while home for winter break:

1. "Man, I really missed my family and friends from home."

No matter how much you love college, you can't deny the amazing feeling of being home with your family and high school friends.

2. "I should really start going to bed earlier..."

About a week into break, you probably realized that your sleep schedule was horribly messed up, but you also probably were too lazy to fix it.

3. "How many episodes of The Office can I get through today?"

Whether you chose to watch The Office or something a little more dramatic like Grey's Anatomy, I guarantee you found yourself thinking this same thing and succeeded in watching about 2 seasons per day.

4. "I guess I should go to the gym today..."

Or tomorrow, or the next day, and so on.... Let's face it, your goal of going to the gym everyday over break has probably turned into a goal of making it there at least once.

5. "Even though it's 2:30pm and I just woke up, I can't miss a meal, so cereal and a hoagie it is then!"

You wouldn't dare miss a meal at home. Each meal you eat at home brings you one step closer to going back to dining hall food, so you should enjoy food at home as much as you can.

6. "What day is it? Thursday... Saturday ... January?"

Christmas and New Years serve as great checkpoints to know what day it is... after that, Sunday might as well be Wednesday.

7. "What'll happen if I don't go back and stay home with my dog forever."

Or you could try and smuggle him/her back to school... your RA would never know!

8."Maybe I'll put pants on today and participate in society... nah, tomorrow sounds good."

If you haven't left your bed in 4 days, you're doing winter break correctly.

9. "Wow, I really miss my school friends."

Thank goodness iMessage and Facetime exist!

10. "I can't wait to go back."

Although life at home is pretty great, the end of break finds you severely missing your tiny dorm room, college friends, and the overall freedom of living on your own.

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.
