Spring Break Is Over, Now We Have To Get Back To The Grind

Spring break is the moment that every college student looks forward to during the spring semester. It comes just in time, as we are reaching a breaking point in the semester.

I have yet to have a super fun spring break where I get away for a few days. I always end up working at my job, making extra money since my availability is more flexible when I don't have class. Next year is my senior year and I'm going to claim in advance that I'm going to do something fun for Spring Break.

Although I didn't have a traditionally fun spring break, I did enjoy it. When I wasn't working, I was enjoying sleeping in and hanging out with my friends. On the weekend, I hosted a pregame and went out to some bars with my friends. Although working all break was tiring, I did enjoy having more time for myself, hanging out and having fun with my friends.

The only struggle that comes with spring breaks is getting back into the groove of waking up early and going to class. Spring break is just a mini taste of summer freedom. It's hard to go back from having lots of free time to going back to planning everything around your classes and work. It's also the worst when professors schedule midterms after the break because then you have to snap back to reality and study for those exams.

Even though spring break is over and there are basically no more days off until summer break, this is a reminder that we are halfway through the semester.

I repeat: we are halfway there.

Freshman, sophomores, and juniors have to return in the fall. Seniors, if you aren't going to grad school, this is it! It's time for you to go out and put everything you've learned in college to use. I cannot wait until this time next year and I can say, I'm graduating in two months and I'm starting a real job after.

We have a little over two months until we are out of school. Yes, it is hard to get back into the rhythm after spring break but this is the motivation that you needed to hear. After this semester, we have a three-month-long spring break. Take that time to get an internship, plan trips or even work! In order to get to the fun times, we just have a little more pain and suffering of doing assignments.

Good luck, college students! Let's finish this semester strong!

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.
