17 Things I WON'T Miss About High School
Ally Mishell Smith

To some people, your 4 years of high school are the best 4 years of your life. However, for most people, high school is just the beginning of their life, and definitely not the best 4 years. While there are many things I will miss about high school, such as some teachers, show choir, my friends and Freda, the best janitor in the history of janitors, there are many things I will not miss.

1. The school lunches

While I'll miss 'Chicken Finger Wednesday' and 'cheese stick day,' I definitely won't miss the wheat bread and spaghetti day.

2. The early mornings

Math at 9:00 o'clock in the morning is much better than anything at 7:30.

3. The freshman

This speaks for itself.

4. The one couple taking up the whole hallway because they HAVE to hold hands

When you have 120 seconds to get to class and a couple is taking up both sides of the hallways because they have to hold hands, I make no apologies for knocking them over.

5. The teacher that won't let you do work for another class, even though you have nothing to do for their class

6. The wifi

Because who loves wifi that has Snapchat blocked?

7. Class meetings

Even though we know we all won't agree on the same thing, certain people will fight the ear death until they get their way.

8. Waiting in line for the microwave

Don't be that girl that cooks something for 10 minutes.

9. The vending machines only having healthy foods and drinks.

Thanks, Michelle Obama.

10. The vending machines being locked until 8:30 and then again at 11.

Running late and forget breakfast? Sorry, no whole grain pop tarts for you.

11. The vending machines taking your money.

Hope you brought more than $1.

12. Spending 4 years trying to find a quiet place to go during a break, then people finding your quiet place.

You finally find your quiet place away from everyone, then 1 person finds it and it's no longer a quiet place. It's a very sad day.

13. School Bathrooms

Always go to the tower. no matter what you do.

14. The parking

Don't be late or you will lose your unofficial parking spot.

15. Weather Drills

Butt cracks. Enough said.

16. The drama

Because there is nothing worse than a high school girl. Maybe a middle school girl, but that's it.

17. The gum infested desks

Never, ever, ever cross your legs. Ever.

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.
