Seniors! This is for you.

Whether it is going to be your last semester or last year, this is it! Before you know it, you will be off into the real world and fully "adulting." The most common questions we as Seniors get is "What are you going to do after you graduate?" More likely than not the answer will be "I don't know." AND THAT IS OKAY! It is okay not to have every aspect of your life figured out. Just enjoy your last semester or two of college and here are some of the perfect ways just to end your college career on a positive note:

1.  Don’t overwhelm yourself

As graduation creeps up, it is important not to overwhelm your schedule too much. Although it is a good idea to have an idea of what you want to do with your degree, it is also okay to still figure out what you want to do. Enjoy your last semester and do not add more than you can handle. Yes, it is important to join that club and to go to that event and be super involved, but remember your priorities and that you are just one person and cannot do it all and that is ok! You were not made to do everything.

2.  Challenge yourself

Although you do not want to add more than you can handle, make room to challenge yourself. Take a challenging course and do things that will challenge yourself to grow in ways that you could not think possible. A good challenge for each semester is to participate in something that kind of scares you, but something you know will be a memory you will not forget. At the end of it all, you will walk away saying you will do it again or you will not ever do it again, but yet it is a learning experience. Dive deeper in school. Dive deeper with your friends. Dive deeper into your faith. Dive deeper with yourself.

3.  Do well in school

This is the last semester or year so it is so important to do well in school. Regardless of your major, GPA does matter in your life whether that be personal or for a job. Granted, some careers care more than others, but personally, your GPA should matter. It is more than a point system, it shows a little bit of your character. For some, school does not come naturally and they have to try harder than others, but at the end of the day, it shows where your priorities lay and how much effort and time you are willing to put in important things in life.

4. Go on day trips with friends

Academics are important, but so is having fun! For those who are out of state, enjoy the state you are in. Soak in all the adventure that it brings you. Each month go on an adventure with your friends! Go travel and make memories. Take a break from the hectic life that school brings you. Breathe and remember life is not all about school. Yes, school is important, but so is living your best life. Once you are out of school, you won't be able to take time off you could in college, so embrace it and make sure you have the best semester and year of your life!

5. Finish strong

YOU ARE ALMOST THERE! FINISH STRONG! DO NOT SLACK RIGHT NOW! PUT IN 110% EFFORT AND I PROMISE YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PUT IN! Go all in EVERYTHING: In school, your friends, your faith. Go all out and so when you get to the end of all this you can look back at the past four years and be so proud of yourself because you are FINALLY DONE! This is the moment you've been waiting for so enjoy it because adventure is out there and the world is yours so go out there and make it yours and make a difference!

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.
