The Case of Senioritis

The Result of Fall Break

The Case of Senioritis

You’re at your peak of stress.

Nothing seems to be going right for you: You keep telling yourself “I’ll do it later,” and later comes…But you never do it.

I always hate that period where you’re trying to get back into schoolwork after being on a long break. I struggle enough just trying to get back into the mindset of class after a weekend. Getting back into the swing of things this year was so hard. It must be Senioritis getting to me. Everyone else was on the swing.

I fell off.

It didn’t help that I literally only had three classes coming back from Fall Break. I guess it was supposed to smooth us back into classes. It didn’t help, all it did was smooth me into a mold that is devastatingly hard to get out of and that was the pure mold of “I don’t want to”.

November is a tough month: it’s basically our crunch time until we come back from Thanksgiving Break and then prepare ourselves for final exams.

Where did this semester go?

It’s pretty scary, I’m a semester away from graduating college.

And I tried so hard to keep up with my articles, I had the best ideas!

Halloween just passed and I knew I wanted to write about makeup looks that friends and family did for their costumes. Of course, it slipped my mind because, you know. College.

Forgive Me.

You can’t hire a student assistant in college because then you’d have to share your degree and that doesn’t sound to promising to an employer. Or you.

It doesn’t help if you’re a procrastinator either.

Procrastination ruins lives. I haven’t had a full six hours of sleep for the past week. I’m starting to regret those nights where I slept in and took those nine hour nights of sleep for granted.

Because “I’ll do it later.” And sometimes, later didn’t come for me until hours before my class started. Have you ever pulled a four-page paper out of your ass an hour and a half before class started? I pulled off this magic trick after staying up until 2:00 am typing a paper for a class I had at 9:30 along with another writing assignment given because someone was upset the class wasn’t prepared enough for the previous meeting.

Fun.

Not to mention an abstract I should turn in soon.

I’m just a hot mess ranting to everyone. But I think some of the best articles are the ones of content creators who just want to write and rant about the strife they’re experiencing in their life, it’s entertaining; it’s not as black and white as repeating content on a story that’s been repeated over and over in the media. It’s relatable.

So, for those of you that managed to bounced back from fall break; managed to do all of your work on time and be on your shit like you never left:

I applaud you.

I wanna you when I grow up.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
