Many people are curious about what a day actually looks like for cadets. It is a pretty hectic schedule so it makes sense that they aren’t sure how we fit everything that we need to in one.

0600-0630

Wake up and put on whatever uniform you were told to wear the night before. Some people might shower depending on their level of motivation.

0645

Morning formation begins. That means you just stand in the hallway and wait while someone looks over your uniform.

0700

Go to breakfast if your heart desires. Also depends on your level of motivation for the day.

0730-1123

Class. Schedule varies based on the individual.

1135

Formed up for Noon Meal Formation. This is the opportunity for all of the world to watch us do one of our least favorite things….marching.

1155

Lunch starts with announcements about anything and everything we may or may not need to know for the near future. This meal could be delicious or questionable at best. Don’t worry though, if you choose to visit we normally we have better food on those days.

1230

This could be class or a roll call or some other briefing. It just depends on the day.

1330-1523

The rest of the class schedule unless you are an intercollegiate athlete in which case you are most likely at practice.

1530-1730

This time period can change a lot depending on the person. Athletes are probably at practice, clubs are probably doing club things, intramurals are going on for the people that it applies to.

1700-1900

Optional dinner. The amount of people who go to this depends greatly on what is being served.

1915-1945

Available time for briefings and other meetings if necessary.

1945-2300

Time given for homework or other things if you still need to do your job.

2300

Taps, or as I like to call it, optional bedtime.

2400

Second optional bedtime…..

0100

Usually regretting procrastinating at this point…..

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.
