We have arrived at that point in the semester where Spring Break has come and gone and summer is so close and yet so far away. Right now, most college students are preparing to register for their next semester's classes, planning where they are going to live, and dreading having to wake up early to go to their summer job. Then there are college seniors. You know, the ones who are frantically looking for a full-time job or internship after graduation, deciding on what graduate program to attend, and finishing their classes while battling senioritis. Here are 10 things fellow seniors are experiencing and it's okay if you are experiencing them too!

1. Senioritis

Senioritis is when you know you have stuff that needs to get done, but you have no drive to complete the tasks at hand. Every person at some point or another has experienced senioritis. Whether it is your thesis or classes you need to graduate, try not to fall victim to the -itis!

2. Answering the question "what are your plans after graduation?"

Everyone asks every college senior everytime they see them what they are doing after graduation. If you are anything like me, you really aren't a 100% sure yet. This question drives those who don't know crazy and gives them anxiety; while on the other hand, those who do know their plans for after graduation love to answer this question.

3. Finding a place to live.

Ahh.. the dreaded dilemma of whether you choose to return back home and live with your parents after graduation or find an apartment with some roomies! You are facing the challenges of returning to live with rules after living in a college residence hall for four years or continuing to live on your own and have a bigger financial burden.

4. Trying to keep your friend group together for many years to come.

College is the place where we all find our greatest friends. Life after college without them by your side every day is going to be different. But if you're good enough friends, you will find a way to make sure that you stay connected over Happy Hour, Weekend Getaways, FaceTime, or texting!

So for any senior out there facing these situations, brace yourselves - the real world is coming!

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.
