3 Mottos Every College Woman Should Live By
FT Photo Diary

1. "Better to look back and say 'oops,' than 'what if.'"

You are only a young, carefree college student once. This is the time of your life when you have the least responsibilities (although it may feel like the every problem in the world rests on you). This is the time to make learning mistakes without huge consequences. Now is when you make the college memories that later you will laugh over and think "that was probably a bad idea." Instead of, "I wish I would have had more fun." With that in mind, let loose and go for it!

2. Fake it 'til you make it.

Because, let's be honest, we are all out here pretending we know exactly what we are doing. In reality, each of us is just faking it in the hopes that one day, we really will know what we're doing. The key, though, is to look like you have it together. Success comes from confidence. And confidence is achieved through believing you can do it whatever you don't yet know you're trying to do. In the end, nobody has a clue what direction his or her life is headed. Let life take you by storm, but do it with confidence.

3. "Everything happens for a reason."

We understand. Life sucks sometimes. You fail a class, lose your dream guy, and have an explosive fight with your best friend all in the same fifteen minutes. Day like this happen. But, maybe it all happened so that you would re-take the class, meet your true best friend for life in it, and then marry your soulmate who's also her brother. We never know why life works the way it does, only that it will all work out in the long run.

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.
