Anticipation, Worry, and Relief?

Six Thoughts About Next Semester
Flavorwire

Once again summer vacation is coming to an end. The convenient months off to relax and fill our bank accounts have us all anticipating our coming school year. Our minds are racing in a million different directions, but here's the more universal thoughts we all share.

6. "Oh god. Do you think people still remember *insert embarrassing text here*."

It's college: we've all done something that was totally unflattering. Honestly, no one probably does. If they do: who cares? Don't sweat other people's opinions and let that dictate how you see yourself.

5. Grades...yeah.

A new semester is a fresh start for every student. There is room for improvement in everything and everyone. Don't stress yourself out early before classes even begin. If it's really bothering you, then take steps to combat the issue. Maybe try to not procrastinate. Start studying in the library? You can reach max potential with such easy, determined strategies.

4. Money?

Yeah, it's nice to have some dough now, but it'll all be gone soon. Don't sweat it. It's a part of being in college. We will all have decent income someday.

3. New year, new me?

It's cool to better yourself, but don't change yourself just because you're heading back to school. Personal growth is awesome, but stay true to yourself! Focus more on style, maybe? Maybe focus on the way you interact with people? Wanna be more social? Go out more. Live the life you want to live authentically.

2. I don't know what's coming my way.

That's perfectly fine. Life is meant to be unpredictable. Every semester is going to throw you a curve ball that you will overcome. Keep yourself focused and you'll pave the way to another great year.

1. I cannot wait to see my friends.

This goes through my head everyday. I get so excited seeing all of my buddies after a long summer. Cherish the new moments you are going to make because you're one step closer to graduating.

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.
