Welcome home! You've waited all semester for this. You're ready to decompress, see your friends, and cuddle your dog until they leave you for your sister. Here's what every college kid's winter break looks like:

1. Sleep

You’ve been stressing all semester, and you’re finally crashing. It could be one, two, or even four naps per day. You’re catching up on some well-deserved beauty sleep.

2. Eat, out of boredom

You’ve got too much time on your hands, and sometimes your mom is all-too-willing to whip up your favorite dishes. Come on, how could you say no to those cookies?!

3. Try to work out for the first few days

You figure, “Oh, I’ve got so much free time, I’m going to hit the gym every day!” But do you? This will probably wear off after the first week. That Christmas roast is looking too good, and the gym isn’t looking as good the day after.

4. Look your best with nowhere to go

Maybe you’ll learn to curl your hair, or try out a new makeup look - you know, just in case Prince Charming comes rolling through the neighborhood.

5. Look for any excuse to find adventure

Sooner or later, the boredom will get the best of you.

6. Visit their favorite hometown hangouts

You’ve been waiting to go to these places for months, and now it’s time to run home.

7. Cuddle their pet until the pet can’t stand them anymore

Your dog has had enough. It was cute the first three days, no they’d like some space, please.

8. Watch endless hours of Netflix

Need I say more?

9. ...And finish a series or two

I’ve already finished two.

10. Bumble & Tinder swipe to your heart’s content

Because maybe the hometown hotties are single and ready to mingle now.


Don’t worry, you've got plenty of December left. Enjoy your solitude, your delicious food and your freedom. Come January, you’ll be wishing you had it all back.

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.
