You Don't Realize How Important Your Mental Health Is Until You're Halfway Through The Semester Physically Drowning In Papers

If you're a college student like me, I can ensure that this will definitely be worth the read.

As I'm writing this article, I'm currently sitting at my kitchen counter with my roomie thinking about all of the assignments and essays I have to do after my article submission.

I often find myself making lists or stressing about all of the work that I know I have to do some nights throughout the week. It's a constant cycle and I have recently realized how frustrating it is to bed a constant cycle.

I have most recently realized that the best way to go about dealing with the stress of the semester is to tackle it head-on.

Stressed about an assignment?

Just do it and be done!!!

I have personally come to the realization that I'm over living life worried and stressed about assignments I have to do, but, realistically, that's college and that's life.

I have realized that although I am busy and life is extremely hectic, these assignments, quizzes, projects, whatever it may be, just have to be done in order to power through college.

Although now is a time where we should be thriving, it can also be difficult to keep up with the challenges life throws at us and the amount of time it can take to finish everything we have to do.

All in all, college life is an extremely fun & exciting time, but the workload can definitely get the best of you. If there's one thing I've learned for sure, it's to make sure I have my school stuff in order to take the extra stress off of my hands.

Unfortunately (although better late than never), prioritizing my school work (although I still procrastinate — LOL, some things never change) is something I really didn't begin to do until my junior year, & it has honestly saved me from the stress my major brings.

If you feel like you're in a state of libido and on that struggle bus of stressing about work you have yet to even do, I absolutely urge you to just do it.

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.
