We're all thinking it

21 Thoughts We All Have During The Last Days Of Summer
Lindsay Cullen

The new semester is just around the corner and with it comes a multitude of emotions. We don't realize the luxuries we have home until we are forced to eat cafeteria food and sleep on hard springy dorm mattresses. As much as we want to stay home forever, the new semester creeps up on all of us. Your college bill is still not paid, and you forgot to register for those three core classes that you got fourteen emails about, but we have bigger problems. As much as we're all excited for $2 slices and never ending slumber parties, there are still a few things we are dreading beyond belief.

1. Summer is almost over, and I haven't done anything on my bucket list.

"I'll just do it next summer."

2. What is an alarm clock?

(Hits snooze 27 times)

3. Who created a.m. classes, and why are they legal?

"If I don't go, do they still exist?"

4. "I can't wait for syllabus week."

"Mom, I need more textbook money."

5. My queen-sized memory foam bed will be missed the most.

"No, but really."

6. I can't wait to get out of my house.

"Kidding, but not kidding."

7. I need to lose 40 pounds by September.

"Or binge on home cooked meals and Long Island pizza"

8. Can I bring my mom with me?


"..... To come to frat parties with me, duh."

9. I can't wait for weekday drinking to be socially acceptable.

"Two words -- Tequila Tuesday."

10. I have no money.

"....But I'm still going out."

11. I can not go back to eating cafeteria food.

".... Do you have any meals?"

12. I can't wait to see all my friends!


"Can you come to the everywhere with me?"

13. I can't leave my dog.

14. How many days 'till Christmas break?

"Money and free food."

15. What is math, and how do I do it?

"My major has nothing to do with complex fractions."

16. Maybe I will get a boyfriend this year.

"I have, like, seven girlfriends already."

17. Crap, 152 class days till finals week.

"I'll worry about that in 151 days."

18. I can not sit in a three-hour lecture.

"... But I can watch Netflix."

19. I have to do my own laundry again.

"Unless there is food on it, it is not dirty."

20. I'm going to miss home and summer so much!

"But fall, Starbucks, Uggs, oh my."

21. This will be my year...

Says every girl in unison.

So, if you weren't thinking about these things before, you definitely are now and we're all asking the same question. Can it just be summer forever? Unfortunately not, but maybe señorita Thursday's can help us pretend. So strap on your Ugg boots and grab your books cause you're probably already late to class.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
