8 Ways To Deal With The Senior Slide
Wandering Fel

Those graduating in May understand the dangerous nature of Senioritis. Though seemingly harmless, the thoughts of freedom plague our tired minds. Procrastination is the worst enemy. We have little motivation and an overwhelming amount of tasks to accomplish.

1. Watch Netflix

With new Netflix originals like 13 Reasons Why orA Series of Unfortunate Events, there are so many reasons why you and your couch deserve a date. What could be more important than catching up with the pop culture your peers are immersed in.

2. Order Delivery Food

Yes, you do have many options in your fridge or on-campus, but nothing compares to a fresh pizza delivered to you. Pick your poison, and settle in with an obsence amount of food.

3. Stare At Your Homework

15-20 minutes should be just enough to realize that you really, really don't want to do this. Maybe an additional five will make you realize that you have definitely made the wrong choice of major and that you officially hate your life.

4. Nap

Preparing yourself to do homework is exhausting. You probably have 5-6 hours of work, so this is the perfect time to lay down and avoid responsibilities.

5. Unnecessary Grocery Shop

24/7 shopping was created with the college procrastinator in mind. Yes, I should be writing my essay but I would rather spend twenty minutes stress-buying movies from the five dollar movie bin.

6. Browse Social Media

Though you have plenty of homework and studying ahead, you can never be too sure that you are missing something. What if there is a new and exciting meme we haven't seen? What if there is a new Tasty video that we will never make? There are rounds to do.

7. Cry

Yes, this is life. Reality may seem bleak, but there isn't much left.

8. Give Up

Don't worry, it's just this time of the year! You will overcome all of the obstacles ahead. You will graduate.

It's almost over, friends.

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.
