From Those Who Aren't Yet Graduating To The Ones Who Wish They Weren't

Dear seniors,

The end of the fall semester is approaching and I'm sure that you all are starting to feel your senioritis kicking in at full speed. Whether you're feeling nostalgic, ready to leave, or indifferent about your situation, there are some things you should hear from those of us who aren't graduating quite yet.

First thing's first, you better tell us what post-grad life is actually like. We all have our imaginations of what it is going to be like. But, we just have to know for sure. Is it actually easy to get a job now that you have a degree? Are you less stressed? Do you miss college? Whatever your experience may be, don't forget to tell us because we need to prepare!

I know you all are probably ready to be freed from tests and lectures, however, you should still remember to take this semester as slowly as you can and enjoy it. Before you know it, you'll be decorating your cap and receiving your degree. With that being said, don't rush to get there. Spend time with all of your friends this upcoming semester, especially those who live far away. You never know if you'll see them as often when you graduate. Take the semester day by day because once you get to the end, you're going to look back and wonder how it all went by so quickly. It's like one day you're moving into your freshman dorm and then you blink and you're graduated.

Another thing we have to remind you of is to actually visit. We all know that post-grad life is probably busy, but you should definitely make sure you come back as an alumn. Whether it be for alumni weekend, football games or even just to pop in and say hey, we all want to see your familiar faces back on our campus.

I also think it's important for all of you to know how much all of us students below you look up to you. We are all rooting for you and want nothing but the best to come to you during post-grad life. We are all going to be following your social media to stay up to date on your great endeavors and amazing places you'll go. We can't wait to see you start families, shine in your new jobs and hit major milestones within your lives. So in the event if you ever feel alone or that nobody is cheering you on, know that well all are.

Lastly, we all want to wish you the absolute best of luck. It's a great big, dog-eat-dog world out there. Although you've been growing as an adult while you're at college, it's time to take off those training wheels and dive into the real world. Things are going to get hard and stressful. You're gonna miss the good 'ole days that you're rushing through now. But no matter what you face, never forget where you came from and who you are.

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.
