What I'll Miss About Bristol Community College During Winter Break

School is very stressful but I am not ready for winter break and I am going to miss quite a lot about it.

I am an active community college student with little-to-no life outside of the borders of my college campuses.

I am active in my college's student governmental body, I work as a tutor at my college, I am an honors student, and I run a club at one of the college's campuses. These activities make me stay engaged and active during the school semesters but often I begin counting down the days until winter break with anticipation for having little to do during the class-free period of the year. Then, the first day of winter break comes around and I realize that I have nothing to do for the next month and a half. Here are the seven things I'm going to miss about my college, Bristol Community College, during the school break.


1. Pay Day

On the Friday after break starts, I'll wake up and quickly notice that I am without paychecks for the winter break. During the school year, I am employed as a tutor for various college subjects and I get paid for it. This is a harsh thing for me to go without, seeing how poorly I manage my money even when I do get paid.

2. Club

At my college, I (along with several other great club officers) organize and run a comic book club where students that share the common interest of comic books meet up and discuss various related topics. Comic books are a passion of mine and it is a great opportunity to talk to and meet up with others who share this passion; however, the club doesn't meet over winter break and I'll be stuck reading comics alone during the break.

3. Friends

Many of my friends are much like me and they spend a vast majority of their time camping out at the campus between classes and often we entertain each other with a game of Magic the Gathering or accompany each other while doing homework. The holidays are filled with family time and trips for many of us and therefore we hardly see each other while out of classes.

4. Faculty and Staff

This is going to sound extremely lame, but the faculty and the staff at every one of the campuses that I attend are tremendously helpful and friendly day after day. I can always count on them for whatever I need and they are also just super nice people to hang around with and talk to.

5. Daily Schedule

The idea of a daily schedule has always been important for me because it keeps me busy and active. School is an effective way to keep me engaged and this is a big thing I will miss. I feel that a lot of people struggle when they have no schedule or routine and I am no exception.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

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.
