The college process is incredibly stressful and tedious. When it's all finally over though, it all seems to work out and the college everyone ends up going to just seems like it was meant to be. If you are already in college, though, you are one of the lucky ones who have begun to do these things:

1. Forgetting homework is no big deal now.

2. You suddenly lose all motivation to do any more than the bare minimum.

3. You frequently make excuses for yourself by saying, "I'm in college, who cares?"

4. You try to weasel out of your responsibilities by trying to get your parents to do something for by reminding them that "I got into college!"

5. You finally come clean to your parents about some of the things you never actually did or studied for, that happened to work out.

6. You order every piece of apparel and accessory off of your accepted college's website.

7. And then you flaunt your new look everywhere you go.

8. You struggle to reign it in at times, because you know that other people are still in the thick of the college process.

9. But sometimes, you can't help but just jam out to the fight song when you are home alone.

10. You join the accepted students Facebook group, and you are instantly overwhelmed by all of the posts and friend requests.

11. You begin stressing out about rooming and classes, even though that's so far in the future.

12. When post your Facebook status of "X College Class of 2021" you feel like a celebrity.

13. You think back at the time before you knew where you were going as the dark days.

14. When you see someone wearing your college's apparel you get so excited and ask them if they are going there.

15. When people ask why you picked this college you could spend hours going over everything that made you fall in love.

16. Even though it's been a few weeks, you still are sometimes in awe of how lucky and excited you are for this opportunity.

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.

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.
