Going from being busy at school to having nothing to do at home is a tough transition. So here are 12 things we can all relate to when we are home from break.

1. When you don't have to set an alarm and can finally catch up on all of your sleep:

2. When you check your bank account and realize you spent all of your years worth of money in one semester:

3. And then you realize you can't afford Christmas presents for your family:

4. When you tell yourself you're going to get a lot done over break but then:

5. When your grades are finally posted:

6. And then your parents ask you what your grades are:

7. When you finally get into the holiday spirit:

8.When your whole high school squad reunites:

9. And you catch up with everything that has happened in the last few months:

10. But then you realize how much you miss seeing your college friends every day:

11. And you start to miss being at school:

12. And you begin to countdown the days until the start of the spring semester:

I can't wait to see everyone again! Have a great break!

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.
