Eleven Stages of Returning to School

Because not all of us can live Freaks and Geeks...

Eleven Stages of Returning to School
twitter

It's that time of year again! And by THAT, I mean the time of screaming children, soccer moms, being harassed by music you're disinterested in at lunch, and pretending you don't exist!

1. You feel excitement to see your friends and return to the halls that held so many memories! Of course, school is still four weeks away....

2. Your class schedule arrives in the mail sparking panic over who will be in those classes...Jack from the football team? Jane from the cheer squad? Of course, your biggest worry is if your bestie is in your lunch period.

3. There's some slight excitement about picking out all new notebooks and a first day of school outfit after begging your parents for some cash and a ride and trying to dodge their pep-talks about the upcoming year.

4. Posting your schedule on Snapchat and Instagram to make sure you know as many people as possible in your classes, for better or worse. (Porbably worse...)

5. Calling your counselor and pitching a fit because if Bill from last year, now in your third block, even THINKS about pulling your ponytail or even talking to you, he will not live until June.

6. Finally getting switched from third block and asking around the previous year's class to get the scoop on all of your teachers. Of course, you got stuck with a spitter in first block.

7. Pinning Life Hacks of all sorts to your Back to School Pinterest board as if you'll actually do them...LOL, you'll forget they even exist until Christmas break and by then you're too lazy to try it.

8. Ending all your Summer flings...or job....because you totally told your friends there was another hot waiter. He was hot though...just in the "dripping with sweat" way...

9. Hardly sleeping the night before, and probably spending most of the night eating ice cream with Netflix, in attempt to brace yourself for the coming year of boys, drama, homework, friends, mean teachers, and tripping up the stairs.

10. Trying to get dressed, even though your once amazing outfit suddenly looks a whole lot worse than it did upon purchase.

11. Arriving to your first period class nervously and, even though Jane is there to poke fun at your hair, your best friends have your back bringing much relief.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
