15 Things Every College Student Taking Summer Classes Can Understand
  1. When your mom wakes you up an hour early because she doesn’t trust you to get up on your own even though you do when you're away at college.
  2. Blasting the music as loud as you possibly can in your car just to make sure you don’t fall asleep on your commute.
  3. Not being able to go to your favorite coffee shop because its back on your home campus, so you have to drink the gross black coffee they serve at the community college dining hall. (Where is Espresso Royale when you need it??)
  4. Knowing absolutely no one in your class, so you try to sit in the back and blend in so that you don't actually have to participate.
  5. Five seconds before class starts, a girl sits next to you and instantly wants to tell you her entire life story even when the teacher begins talking.
  6. Your professor being cranky ever day because she wants to be there just as much as you do, so she assigns tons of work and tests.
  7. Trying to plan out a way to not take this class and put it off til another year just so you can go back to bed.
  8. Almost crying when the professor says you can’t use your laptop at all during the class. (When are you supposed to do all your online shopping and insta stalking??)
  9. Having a 10 minute and not knowing whether or not to a.) plug your headphones in and watch Netflix, b.) sit on your phone and act like your texting someone super important, or c.) make awkward small talk with the strange people sitting around you. (There's obviously a lot of crying in summer school...)
  10. Watching the clock actually stop right in front of you when you have an hour left of class.
  11. Watching your friend’s Snapchat stories of them laying on a beach in Mexico or skydiving off the coast of Greece while you are stuck in this prison cell… aka class.
  12. Texting as inconspicuously as you possibly can underneath your desk while having horrible flash backs to high school.
  13. Seeing people you hated in high school in your class and actively trying to avoid all eye contact… actually, all contact in general.
  14. Silently dying inside when you don't know if you should raise your hand to go to the bathroom like in high school or just go 'cuz you're supposed to be in college.
  15. When you leave the classroom and almost jump out of your skin with excitement that it’s over, until you realize you have to come back again tomorrow… and the next day… and the next day….

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.
