10 Thoughts You Have When You're Home For The Summer

It's finally summer time

Now that school is over and summer has started, us students get to have the freedom we've been dreaming about all semester long. I'm pretty sure that at least half of the college student population has had or will have these thoughts this summer.

1. I'm sleeping for a week.

The second I get home, I don't want to move from my bed for the next week. This is the prime time for me to catch up on the sleep that I never got during the spring semester. Don't talk to me, don't make plans with me, and DO NOT wake me up at all.

2. FOOD.

Finally some good food. If there is a family event coming up, you better believe that I'm going to be packing leftovers for the next week and will be eating everything. Also, this is the perfect time for mom and/or dad to make some nice home-cooked meals (cough, cough, Mom).

3. I need a job.

If I'm planning to hang out with friends, I need to probably get a job. Not to mention, getting a head start on paying rent for next semester's apartment would be best. There's nothing like a nice flow of cash in the summer.

4. I'm going to work out this summer.

Maybe. Hopefully. probably not, but at least I'm thinking about it.

5. Great, I have classes this summer.

There's nothing like a summer class with your graduating class at your community college. It's like a high school reunion.

6. Road trip?

Gather the friend group and hit the road. Buuutt, let's be real, that's not going to happen.

7. I'm going to hang out with all of my friends all summer.

It's nearly impossible to get the entire friend group together to hang out. You'll have one friend on vacation, one working all summer, one that is in both summer session classes, and you sleeping away the summer.

8. I can't find anything.

I'm going to be honest, I probably won't fully unpack at all this summer. This makes it really hard to find all of my stuff and I end up angrily digging through all of my boxes.

9. It's family time.

9 times out of 10, your entire family will want to see you and talk about your semesters in school. Time to put on that smile and recite your entire spring semester within 10 minutes. You'll hear a lot of "What's your major now?" "How were your finals?" "What grades did you make?" "What do you want to do after college?" "Have you thought about graduate school?"

10. I want to go back to [insert your college town].

Late nights out, your college friend group, and the freedom that college had was amazing and sometimes it's hard not to miss it. Especially when you have a house full of animals and people that are a little crazy sometimes.

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.
