College As Told By April Ludgate
Lazy Sunday

If you are anything like me, April Ludgate is your spirit animal and college life is difficult, especially this time of the semester when everything is chaotic and summer is so close. Here is college explained by April Ludgate in her witty, artful, sarcastic and sometimes hateful way that we have all come to know and love. Enjoy!

1. When the professor calls on you after you were completely not paying attention and have no clue as to what is happening in class.

2. When you have to start adulting (such as paying for gas, food, bills, grocery shopping and everything else you had never thought of before) on your own.

3. When you are halfway excited to go back after break, but then your professor gives you your syllabus for the semester and it is nothing but insane amounts of reading, papers and projects.

4. When you have a big presentation that you have to do in front of the whole class.

5. When you are trying to pep talk yourself into being productive.

6. When your friend asks you about your parents.

7. When you contemplate dropping out, but then have to come up with another plan as to what you will do with your life.

8. When you are asked what your hobbies are in life.

9. Sitting in your 8 a.m. class like...

10. After you finally make it out of a class alive at the end of the semester.

11. When your professor unexpectedly cancels class last minute.

12. When you are in the middle of a test that you apparently did not study enough for.

13. When you are trying to convince your parents that you are being a great, responsible adult.


14. When high schoolers come to campus and you are forced to interact with them.

15. When someone asks why you chose your major.

16. When you realize how much you have due and you have procrastinated all semester.

17. When you get your test back that you bombed...

18. But when you actually get a good grade on a test.

19. When you are with your squad trying to give a presentation.

20. And finally...when you are asked why you are even in college

My fellow April Ludgates: keep pushing on. We will conquer college!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
