Coming Back To College After Spring Break As Told By SpongeBob
Huffington Post

Spring Break. The one week in the year when you get to take a "break" from all the classwork that you are drowning in during the spring semester. Not really much of a break when you get assigned a whole bunch of work to do at home anyways, but that's a different story. We all know that coming back from break is hard. For those of you who don't get the struggle, let me enlighten you.

The Last Supper

Right before you come back to campus, you have your last meal. This is the last time for a while that you will actually get to enjoy a home cooked meal before you come back again in the summer. During this, you feel like you have to eat everything and anything that's around because it is probably better than the diner food that you will have to deal with for the rest of the semester. You savor every single bite as if it were your last meal ever.

Saying Goodbye To Your Parents

At this point, your parents have gotten used to saying goodbye to you. This time, they give you the talk about how proud they are and that you "need to finish the semester out strong." They are your number one fan of course, and as much as you love college, it's still hard to leave them behind. So, not only do you feel sad because you're going to miss home, but you also are nervous to let your parents down because your motivation is still on break.

Feeling Out Of Sync

You come back from break and you feel like you forgot your brain at home. You don't really remember what you need to do and you don't really remember when the next important class due dates are. You have to go through all of your things again to make sure you have everything to continue the semester. You basically reset yourself and try to get back into the swing of things. You are trying fix your sleep schedule, trying to stay away from the Netflix addiction, and trying to go back into school mode.

The First Morning Back

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* There it is again... the dreadful sound that you haven't heard in what seems like forever. You will probably hit snooze a few times before you actually drag yourself out of bed. When is the last time you got up this early? Oh yeah, it was only about a week ago. Still, it is a struggle to get ready and head to class. You wish you could just go back to bed.

The Morning Person


It's Monday and the first day back from break. You are ready to get the day over with. Then there is always that overly happy morning person who is ecstatic to be back and who is trying to spread the cheer around. If only we could all be happy Monday morning people.

Busy Schedules Begin Again

"The learning continues." You have exams, piles of homework and are still trying to balance all of your other responsibilities at the same time. Eat, sleep, work, repeat. Welcome back!

Is This Worth It?

You start contemplating all of your life decisions and start thinking "Is this all worth it?" And the answer is: HECK YES. You need an education! You need a good future! Keep the grind going and you'll keep getting closer and closer to the prize.

We're All In This Together

Don't worry, other people are feeling the same! I'm stressed, you're stressed, we're all stressed. College is going to be hard sometimes, but at least you have all your friends to lean on.

Good luck! You got this. Keep working hard and don't forget to make room for fun. Make the best of the time you do have. Summer will be here before you know 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.
