So it's almost time to go back to school. In high school, we dreaded the end of the freedom that summer allowed us and dreaded getting mountains of homework. But after being in college and having to come home for the summer, here are just a few reasons why college kids are excited to go back to school.


1. Being back on campus

Being surrounded by college students means the opportunity to make connections is endless. Campus also starts to feel a little like home, and you miss it when you're away.

2. My apartment.

Living on your own just makes you feel like an adult (even if you're not always ready to act like one).

3. The school spirit

There's nothing like the feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of people who are just as excited as you are about your school.

4. Being in a college town

College towns are geared toward college students with fun things to do and delicious places to eat at. What could be better?

5. Taking classes for my major

Being able to finally take the classes makes you actually look forward to going to class and learning about what you're interested in.

6. The binge-watching of shows while procrastinating homework.

While you may love your classes, it doesn't mean that you love the homework.

7. The clubs and different organizations on campus

Once you've found your niche, it's great to get back to it after a long time away. It's also nice checking out what other organizations there are on campus to join.

8. Getting my life back on my schedule

While it's nice to be home during the summer with your family, getting back to your own schedule at college feels great.

9. And last but not least, my friends

You meet some of the best people at college, and it's hard when you enjoy a whole year with them and then you have to spend a summer apart.

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.

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.
