College As Told By 'Elf'

College As Told By 'Elf'

It's that time of the year again! Thanksgiving is over, it's time to crank up the Christmas music and deck the halls. In the spirit of getting excited for Christmas, here is college life told by one of the best Christmas movies of all time, 'Elf':

1) You're late to your 8am class, you look like a mess, all you want to do is sleep, and your professor greets you at the door oblivious to the fact it's 8:10 in the morning and you woke up 4 minutes ago.

2) When you were growing up, you were taught to look both ways before crossing the street. Now, in college, you walk across the street without checking traffic, daring the cars to hit you so you can use that money to pay off your student loans.

3) When your professor tells you not to worry because there won't be anything on the final that you haven't discussed in class. And then you look at the first question on the final...

4) Sitting in your room at 3:45 a.m. typing the paper due at 8 a.m. that you promised yourself you would have done two weeks ago when it was assigned.

5) Those midnight munchies cravings.

6) When you check your grades for the first time in three weeks.

7) Telling everyone the reason for your bad grades is your bad professor.

8) Buddy is college, and you are Buddy's dad.

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.

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.
