Stress, stress, and more stress. Stress is only thing college students are accustomed to, aside from the rest of our unhealthy habits. Every day, we have something new thrown in our face, and it's almost never good.

You wake up in the morning, and the only thing you think about is all the stuff you have to do that day. You're tired from getting four hours of sleep because of an assignment or studying, and sometimes, a nap isn't in the cards for that day. Although, when it is, it's a good day. Sometimes we need to stop for a second to remember that everything will be fine, and we are more than our grades. When you are stressed and feel like nothing is okay, remember these things:

1. You got into college, you accomplished that.

2. Mistakes and failure are good lessons.

3. Getting a C in a class doesn't mean you're dumb.

4. Comparing your grades to friends' isn't a good idea.

5. One bad grade doesn't affect your whole college career.

6. It's okay to want to change your major, this is your time to figure out what YOU want.

7. All of this hard work will pay off.

8. It's okay to go out when you have an exam in a week, live your life.

9. You aren't going to be homeless or living with your parents forever.

10. You are strong enough to handle anything thrown your way.

11. If you don’t get something you want, it just means something better is coming.

12. It's okay to have a bad day.

13. You deserve to spend your time happy.

14. Life isn't always "easy," but that doesn't mean you should give up.

15. Your parents love you.

16. Your friends love you.

17. Dogs exist, it's a good life.

18. Your mental health is the most important thing.

19. You're not going to fail out.

20. You are an incredible person, no matter what someone says.

21. Professors can't belittle you if you don't let them.

22. Naps are good!

23. The hours you spend studying WILL benefit you.

24. Beating yourself up over something time and time again doesn't help you move on and improve yourself.

25. Life is beautiful and everything will be okay, even if it doesn't feel like it.

College is hard, but here you are, accomplishing so much. Never give up on yourself.

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.
