Because, apparently, we can't ignore reality forever.

8 Reactions To Graduation Posts
Her.ie

Graduation season is upon us once again, and even though it feels like just yesterday that I was saying goodbye to high school, every time I open my Facebook or Instagram, I'm overwhelmed with graduation posts. Sappy captions, graduation photos, and perfectly detailed plans for the future clutter up my internet browser history and, as a sophomore with no clue what I'm doing, it makes me feel new levels of stressed out.

1. "When did I become old enough to have friends that are real adults?"

As far as I remember, I'm still 12, right?

2. "What am I going to do with my major?"

Sure, it's my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else -- but I also don't want to be homeless/starving.

3. "Does anyone else feel as terrified about their future as I do?"

So are we all just going to keep acting like we're cool with all this responsibility? Am I the only one who still isn't completely sure how to boil water?

4. "What if all my friends move away and I'm left alone?"

Why can't we just keep living five minutes away from each other forever?

5. "Does this mean that people my age are going to start getting married and having children soon?"

The realization that wedding invitations will soon be filling up my life/fridge door seems too overwhelming to be reality.

6. "Why does everyone keep asking me what I'm doing after graduation?"

I still have two full years! Can I live?!

7. "But really...what am I going to do after graduation?"

I've already done the college application process once, but finding a job feels just as daunting.

8. "Why is everyone so much more put together than I am?"

But deep down, you know that everyone feels just as unsure as you do.

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.
