I wish I was a freshman again.

Being an upperclassman comes with its perks. After being around for two years, we know our way around, have our friends and are pretty set on what we want to do. We also finally get to live off campus and turn 21! Of course, not everything is all butterflies and rainbows, though. Here are some struggles we all face as new upperclassmen.

1. Cleaning

We get to live off campus or in apartments, but that means that there is so much more cleaning to do than our tiny little dorm rooms.

2. Cooking

Not getting a meal plan can be brutal sometimes when you have that night class or are just too lazy to cook. You'll rely on a cup of noodles more than usual now.

3. Sharing

With the apartment/house comes roommates. Sure they are our friends, but having more roommates makes it harder to get things done and stay sane.

4. Becoming Legal

For most of us, we finally turn 21. The babies of the grade have to watch all of their friends celebrate their 21st at the bars while they're still sending people out to get a case of beer.

5. Classes

General Education classes are over, but we start getting into the harder, denser, courses that go with our major which end up being a total snooze fest.

6. Internships

Along with taking classes that seem to be impossible, we need to start fluffing up our resumes. Sooner or later, we'll be going to look for jobs and having to show what we've learned from our college education (besides how to funnel a beer).

7. The Future

The future is approaching fast, and it is scary. We have to decide what we're doing with the rest of our lives. It's one big daunting decision that terrifies everyone.

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.

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.
