20 Albums To Get You Through The End Of The Semester Slump
Greta Westcott

The end of the year is almost here. I honestly cannot believe how fast this past semester has gone by. Over the last few months, I have discovered and revisited some albums that help me get through anything; stress, homework, love, friendship... anything. These are some pick me ups that I would suggest to anyone looking to expand their music field.

1. Dean Lewis - "Same Kind of Different EP"

Suggested song: Need You Now

"Because you’re the only one who comes when I’m lonely
You’re the only one who comes when I’m lonely for you."

2. Dispatch - "America, Location 12"

Suggested song: Only the Wild Ones

"No place to go but everywhere."

4. Tame Impala - "Currents"

Suggested song: Yes I'm Changing

"They say people never change, but that's bullshit, they do
Yes I'm changing, can't stop it now
And even if I wanted I wouldn't know how
Another version of myself I think I found, at last."

5. Tom Walker - "Fly Away With Me (Single)"

Suggested song: Fly Away With Me

"So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be
And we can bottle up our fears
Grow a taste so sweet, knock us off our feet."

6. Allday - "Speeding"

Suggested song: Ghost

"I'll sit there waiting for the moon to rise
At the park watching good people and human life
I don't wish for it, I know it will soon arrive."

7. Mallrat - "Better (Single)"

Suggested song: Better

"All this hope is in the sky
Things I couldn't ask for anything
You're always on my side
Everyone's alive so everything's alright."

8. The Lumineers - "Cleopatra"

Suggested song: Angela

"The strangers in this town,
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming, Home at last."

I love you, baby, so bad, so bad."

10. Mikey Mike - "Doin' Me (Single)"

Suggested song: Doin' Me

"Cuz I won't waste another day, Living someone elses way. I wanna be happy, I wanna be free, Fuck what they say, I'm doing me."

11. Grace VanderWaal - "Just the Beginning"

Suggested song: A Better Life

"So close your eyes
And create yourself a better life
Let the wind blow through your hair
Let the music take you there
And make a better life
A better life."

12. Coldplay - "Viva La Vida" or "Death and All His Friends"

Suggested song: Strawberry Swing

"Now the sky could be blue
I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time."

13. Son Mieux - "Vice Versa EP"

Suggested song: Feels

But it feels like home
And I move myself away
When it don't feels like home
Well now I love myself again
And it feels like home."

Just need a little sunshine."

Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it."

Shut my eyes and you know

In Barcelona."

Oh, she's sleep when I need rest
And though the ship can be saved yet
And oh, for you, I would never sink again."

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.

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.
