I'm not sure whether I want to go back or stay at home...

11 Feels Of Returning To School After A Long Break
NBC

It's that time of the year again, another semester of college is upon us. While being home has its perks, so does being at school, which makes us all feel some type of way, some of which are good and others that aren't so good. So as we start the next academic semester, we're ready to start it with a roller coaster of emotions as well.

1. Seeing all your friends again.

Yeah its only been like 6 weeks (or less if you saw them over break) but you missed them all the same. Now its time to catch up on everything because life changing things can happen in a month and a half.

2. You remember that you have to go to class.


Why did I sign up for this 200 level history class? Unfortunately there are no classes on napping, and lunch doesn't count either.

3. Sleeping in isn't usually part of the routine anymore.

It's 9:30. What an unreasonably early hour to get up. And having any classes or responsibilities before then is almost a crime.

4. Going out on any night of the week is always a possibility.

I mean who goes out on Mondays? But hey rollin' with the squad isn't limited to any schedule.

5. Caf food.

Home cooked meals aren't so easy to come by, and its only a matter of days before you're sick of grilled cheese for every meal.

6. You miss your pets.


You traded your furry friend for your human ones. you're human friends definitely don't cuddle as well and probably won't play fetch.

7. It's too cold to go to class.

The air hurts my face. Walking anywhere outside is something to do at all costs. Leaving your blankets in the morning may be the hardest thing you've ever had to do.

8. You're still looking for that motivation.

The first week back is always the most difficult. Developing a new routine and actually getting all your stuff done, and not falling victim to your own shenanigans is key; and No you can't take that 5 hour nap.

9. You get to live with a roommate again.


You now get to annoy each other 24/7, but it's not like you mind, it's why you still live together right? The roommate antics are half the fun of college. You respect each other's personal space, but sometimes we like to have a little fun at their expense. Or you just keep each other up all night with your real talks that usually start at like 2 am.

10. Having to be responsible for your own messes again.


I mean not that we aren't responsible at home or anything. But now you don't have a dishwasher, your parents won't do your laundry and no one will yell at you to clean up (except for your roommate maybe). Granted you've done this stuff before, its not hard. Its more or less remembering to do it.

11. The awful realization you're basically an adult.


I'm not ready for this. I don't know what I'm doing, I've never been this old before. With each passing day you're just that much closer to the 'real world', It's time to embrace it. It can't be all that bad right? Well since I don't know the answer to that, I'm going to take that 5 hour nap I wanted, to avoid the idea that I'm actually an adult.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
