We know the struggle all too well.

Spring break was fun for some of us, others a little less fun and filled with rest.

But no matter where you go, every college student feels the existential dread of going back to their schedules packed with classes, work, homework, and extracurricular activities like Greek organizations or campus organizations.

These thoughts, although they are mine, I'm sure has crossed other students' minds and wholeheartedly agree with.

1. "Wow, spring break is over already?"

Most universities have one week of official spring break designated in their academic calendars for undergrad and grad students.

One week is not long enough of a vacation for some. Now, a multi-week break is more like it.

Please, can our school extend our spring breaks?

2. "Back to hell I go"

The dread from the stress and pressure we will encounter makes it seem like we are in our own personal hells.

We will go back to the place where the things that fuel us are stress, sleep deprivation, energy drinks/coffee, and the fear of failing.

Sounds like hell, doesn't it?

3. "I've got a lot of work to do"

Multi-page papers, huge presentations, huge projects, finals, quizzes, and readings from the textbooks.

Sounds like a lot of work right there. The stress of being afraid to fail will make all of this a lot worse.

4. "Maybe I should drop out"

The stress, fear, and fatigue from going to classes, going to work and stressing to the point of insanity sometimes makes somebody think they should just quit school and get a normal job.

We are in college to get great jobs and better ourselves, but sometimes what someone needs is a break.

Sometimes that is dropping out permanently. Sometimes it is deferring a semester.

I personally deferred a semester and it made me feel ready for the next semester. Although deferring a semester has its disadvantages, sometimes people just need a break. And that is okay.

5. "How long will it be until summer break and the end of this semester?"

The feels, ughhhh.....

We all want the semester to be over. I'm sure even ours professors want this semester to be over.

College is exhausting and it is not for the weak. Sometimes, you have to fight with yourself to go to class.

The last weeks of the semester after spring break are perhaps the hardest and most work-intense weeks of the semester. Lord, help us.

Good luck everyone and may the grade book be ever in your favor!

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.
