Home-Cooked Meals:

After a couple months of the same food in the dining hall over and over and over or the endless amounts of ramen and easy mac you make in college, you tend to get sick of it pretty fast. Being home makes us so grateful for our parents cooking as well as actually having a variety of food for once.


Privacy:

It’s always nice to have your own space and own room, where you don’t have to worry about anyone else and can just have some privacy and alone time. This also means getting away from the noise of people walking in the halls during the night or the people above you.


Your own clean shower:

There’s nothing better than going home to your own clean shower where there’s not hair all over and where you don’t have to wear shower shoes.


Reuniting with your Family and Friends:

Catching up with family and friends after being away for a couple months can be one of the best feelings ever. Reuniting with all your best friends is always a lot of fun, especially after being so far away for such a long time.


Your own bed:

Being able to sprawl out on a nice big bed that is incredibly more comfortable than the tiny twin size beds you get at college.


Seeing your pets again:

Being pet-deprived is one of the worst things about college. Going home to see your beloved pet again is a wonderful feeling. There is no better feeling than coming home and seeing that your pets still remember you after being away for so long.

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.
