We all know college can be hard. Sometimes the weight of everything is just so heavy and we need a pick-me-up. Between school, work, extracurricular activities, and everything else you could ever imagine, the only thing that seems to weigh against the storm is the word of God.

1. "And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." - Isaiah 58:11

Where God guides, He provides.

2. "But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me..." - 2 Timothy 4:17

He is with you and He makes you strong.

3. "God can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing. All you need is faith." - Joel 2:25

With faith in God, we can become whole.

4. "...though the mountains may crumble, you will not..." - Isaiah 54:10

The Lord of all creation will sustain you. He will keep you together in times of trouble and strife.

5. "I chose you. I wanted you. I appointed you. I set you where you are." - John 15:16

You are not in your current situation for no reason, you were put where you are for a purpose - even if you don't quite understand the purpose.

6. "...perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created." - Esther 4:14

You purpose in and through God sometimes lies where you least expect it to.

7. "I have called you by name; you are Mine." - Isaiah 42:1

He knows you and loves you. He named you His before you even had a name to be given.

8. "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer." - Romans 12:12

Remember these things when you get stressed, when you feel like everything at school is weighing you down.

9. "The grass withers and flowers fade, but the word of the Lord stands forever." - Isaiah 40:8

Today will pass, tomorrow will pass. Your test will pass and so will that paper or that research project. The Lord is forevermore.

10. "Jesus replied, 'You don't understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.'" - John 13:7

The stress of life is sometimes unexplained, but one day you will realize why it was worth it.

11. "He does not treat us as our sins deserve." - Psalms 103:10

After all, He loves you. He knew you before you were born. He loves you as much today as He did yesterday - all sin aside.

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.

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.
