7 Thoughts Every Senior Has Before Graduation

Thoughts every senior has when they realize that there is less than 50 days left of school before graduation.

All I need to do now, is pass.

When you have already been accepted and decided on a grad school, or figured out the job you’re going to go for after graduation (when you feel like a real adult), or just completely given into the no school no worries life, you have had this thought. Even the best, straight A students have a flicker of apathy near the end. And why shouldn’t you? You can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Life is waiting for you. All you have to do is finish 3 ten page papers, five finals, 2 quizzes and a group project. No big deal.

I mean, I don’t really have to do that homework assignment… right??

Yeah! Don’t worry about it. Go get a drink! Lay out on the beach! You deserve it! You worked hard for the last four years for this. Taco Tuesday? OF COURSE. Homework…schmomework.

It’s super weird that I’ll probably never see any of these people again in my life

I mean, I got weirdly attached to the strange seatmates I had in gen-ed classes. I might miss the people who work in the cafeteria who know how badly I eat every Tuesday and Thursday morning and still greet me with a smile without judging me (at least not out loud.. for all I know they could be saying ‘Ew, that girl is so gross’ and I would have no idea, and I would not care).

I am so proud of myself

I am graduating college. I am such a big deal. Life is going well. All I have to worry about is making sure my shoes look fly-AF when walking and I don’t trip and fall like my cousin did last year. That was embarrassing. *hair flip*

Cap and gowns cost HOW MUCH!?

Man, graduating is so expensive. Of course the culmination of all my student loans and hard work are paying off with a fattie bill of a couple g’s for a large non-fitted piece of ultra-scratchy fabric that is unbecoming on everyone. Don’t even get me started on the pizza box ‘hats’.

OMG I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT MY LIFE NOW

Wait, so I was just planning on traveling the world and bartending after I graduate. Is that not an adult thing to do? Do I really have to get one of those adult-jobs people talk about?

Who cares? I’m a senior! Time to celebrate!

Drinks anyone?

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.
