33 Things We All Actually Did Over Winter Break
Gennesa Panainte
  1. Sleepan unnecessary amount
  2. Decide to take a nap to help pass all the free time I have
  3. Stay up hours past midnight for no justifiable reason
  4. Start watching multiple different TV shows and binge-watch Netflix… obviously
  5. Forget about my “get ahead for next semester plan,” even though I have plenty of time for it
  6. Re-watch all the Tasty videos I could find on YouTube and try to make the recipes myself
  7. Re-watch old Saturday Night Live skits and wish I was funny
  8. Create new Spotify playlists and dance around my house
  9. Wander around the house looking for something to do
  10. Clean the refrigerator and do the dishes after coming to the conclusion that they won’t clean themselves, and I have nothing else to do
  11. Text my dad for help when I realize I’ve loaded the dishwasher before, but never actually started it
  12. Sit in a car for 20 hours on the way to and from the Christmas family reunion and listen to same downloaded playlist on repeat because I've gone over my data limit for the past two months and can't use Spotify
  13. Participate in a very competitive game of Family Feud that did not end very well
  14. Decide to make 2017 the year I get “healthy”
  15. Immediately regret the decision to get “healthy” because I remembered how much I love junk food
  16. Get ready to go on a run before remembering it’s below freezing outside
  17. Try to make “healthy” chocolate chip cookies and ending up with what looks like a pile of poop because apparently that coconut oil the recipe called for can't be replaced with butter
  18. Slowly clean my room over a period of two weeks
  19. Begin looking for a reason to get out of the house
  20. Get a facial and walk out with skin worse than what I went in with
  21. Aimlessly drive around town and waste gas
  22. Talk to the nice people at Best Buy Mobile to try to figure out why I've gone over my data limit for the past two months (Hint: I thought we had more data than we actually do)
  23. Waste more gas and drive around town to run errands for everyone else in my family when I realize I have nothing better to do
  24. Get lost in a high school I didn’t go to while trying to give my asthmatic brother his inhaler that he forgot to bring to swim practice
  25. Begin to regret looking for a reason to get out of the house after remembering how cold winter can actually be
  26. Shop for things I don’t need, both in-store and online
  27. Realize I need to think practically and start by ordering next semester’s textbooks online
  28. Document my boredom on Snapchat for all to see
  29. Strategize on how I can get onto Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Hashtags segment of The Tonight Show because he is #amazing
  30. Tweet random things because I’ve become delusional and think I’m somewhat funny
  31. Begin a countdown to when I have to go back to school because going back to class will give me something to do
  32. Meet up with friends I haven’t seen since fall break and make sure they know I’m glad I have them in my life
  33. Spend time with my family because I missed them a lot while I was away at school and hate the idea of leaving them in a week

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.

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.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.
