12 Things To Do When All Your Friends Go Home For The Holidays
E! News

The Holiday Season is here and if you're like me and any other college student with a job, you have to stay in your college town a few extra days during the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks (or maybe even stay for all of it). But nonetheless, we are here, we are adults, and we are thriving. Here are a few things to do when you're stuck in your college town when most of your friends go home for the Holidays.

1. Go to the movies.

There are so many good movies out right now from Horror to War Thrillers. Going to the movies alone might seem intimidating but it's actually a lot of fun!

2. Pick up extra shifts at work.

With everyone leaving someone is bound to need you to cover their shift. Take as many as possible because more money to treat yo'self.

3. Clean your room.

Trust me, you will appreciate coming home to a clean apartment.

4. Clean your bathroom.

Refer to No. 3, thank me later.

5. Clean out your pantry.

With the Holidays coming up every local food pantry/church is doing a food drive. Clear out your pantry of all the food you know you're not going to eat and give it to those who will appreciate it!

6. Take a drive down a back road.

Tallahassee is basically on the FL/GA line. If you're around here, take Thomasville Road and keep going straight. Dress up and take a cute pic for Insta.

7. Go to the gym.

No one is there to judge you, no more excuses.

8. Get crafty.

Paint a canvas, paint a cooler, paint your letters, paint a wall, paint your dog, paint everything.

9. Binge watch a movie/Netflix series.

Helloooo Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas

10. Get a jump start on final exam reviews.

Four cumulative exams? That's not for another few weeks, yeah I'll be fine...

11. Enjoy the emptiness of campus.

The weather is gorgeous. Sit outside the library and study to your hearts content.

12. Pack.

Because we all just want to go home, man.

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.
