8 Things I Miss About College
Huffington Post

I know you're probably thinking "How could you even think about college during summer break?" Well, I have had enough of Jersey and realized why I truly couldn't wait to leave home. It's too quiet and everything closes early. I have to always ask to go out somewhere and be home by a decent hour. Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm a night owl and I am always looking forward to a good night adventure and pulling all-nighters. In college I could do all of that since I do go to school in New York City which is the city that never sleeps. Here are 8 things that I miss about college!

#1 Meeting New People

Although I love my old friends to death and I wouldn't trade them for the world, but I love meeting someone new and exciting. Being in NYC it's a given that you make a friend with a total stranger on a daily basis. I meet someone new everywhere! On the train, the international students at my school at parties, and even walking down the street.

#2 Free Food

There are always these little activities to do around the dorm and a lot of the times, there's free food involved which is so down my alley.

#3 Occasional Cancelled Classes

That's pretty self explanatory.

#4 Student Discount

Being a college student really does has its perks. That student discount definitely comes in handy when I wanna buy that fly ass $80 jacket off of ASOS but end up paying around $60 for it. Also going to museums around the city for free is also really nice. My favorite discount is the one for food of course!

#5 No Dress Code

The best thing about college is the fact that you can wear whatever you want and no one complains about it. It's also great that I go to fashion school because you can dress to the 9's and it's totally cool and normal.

#6 Naps

The second I come home from class, I don't even take my clothes off. I just jump straight in bed and take a nice long nap and end up pulling an all nighter because I've now slept the whole evening away.

#7 Adventures

One thing I truly miss about college is the adventures I would go on late at night around the city with my friends. I never feel more free or alive than exploring the city and getting into some late night shenanigans around NYC. I remember walking all the way through soho to W 57th street then through central park all the way to E 97th street at 4 in the morning. That was one of the longest walks I've ever been on but it was an experience of a lifetime.

#8 New York City

Of course last but not least is NYC! I miss the bright lights and busy streets. I miss soho and the luxurious Upper East Side! I miss it all and I can't wait for another exciting year!

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.
