1. Comfort

The most crucial part of making a college decision is how the school makes you feel. It isn’t always possible to visit every school you get accepted to, but it is important to learn everything you can about the schools. What college to go to isn’t a decision one makes rashly. Many people end up going to colleges where they don’t feel like they belong or they can’t find their own friend group. College is about finding the real you and it isn’t possible to do that if you don’t feel like you belong at your school. You want to be able to find your true squad and that starts with finding your true college.

2. Money

Money is the second factor that comes into making your college decision. The amount of money you and your family can afford to spend on college is a limitation on the places you can go to college. Let’s face it college is expensive, and the sad truth is everyone can’t afford to go wherever they want. With that being said though it should be understood that just because a school is more expensive doesn’t mean it should just be instantly refused.

3. Future

The final consideration is how that college will help you in your career. Connections are what can secure jobs in this day and age. Every college is known for offering connections in different careers or just overall excelling in certain areas. If you are a person who wants to work in a certain field or in a certain part of the country/world each college poses a different level of usefulness to you. We make so many goals for ourselves and choosing the right college is the first step in reaching those goals.

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.
