First Day of Summer

Summer is Finally Here

6
First Day of Summer
HerCampus

In 6 days, I will finally be headed home to the comfort of my own room, bed, and food. Yes, I will miss college, but I love not having class and any immediate responsibilities waiting for me the next day in the early morning. Though it is finals week, I've already made a list of plans for what I'll be doing the first day of summer vacation off from college (until of course, I start my summer job as a camp counselor).

1) Cry in joy as I wake up from a peaceful slumber in my own room with no alarm blaring to wake me up for class.
Wow. I never thought this day would come. Finally. No school, freedom, breakfast in bed, not needing to sleep in my own bed with an excuse for "a night trip". No judgement.

2) Start watching TV
Fortunately, now that I have no homework to do, I can finally catch up on tv, AND start new tv shows. Thank God for modern technology and the Jesus of our time: Netflix <3

3) Make breakfast
Eh, eating isn't that important. I need to see if Olivia Pope and Fitz are gonna get back together AGAIN. (I hate the indecisiveness of their relationship, but they're so cute together, UGH)

4) Answer texts and phone calls now that I'm on vacation
Ok, I know this is pretty important to do while not doing anything else important, but ugh, I hate hearing the sound of generic Apple tones going off every 5 seconds.

5) Unpack
The worst part of vacation. Unpacking my life in my room, and scattering things all over the house just so it doesn't get too hot during the summer. Sorry mom and dad; but this is what happens when I have the hottest room in the house :P

6) SLEEP
True Story: This past week, I got a total of 31 hours of sleep. I think this will be the only thing I'll be doing during the whole break. So, I can effectively just scratch this list, as sleep is life.

Well, here's a complete, total and satisfying list to just get me through the first day of break. Though the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to summer vacation, we might as well focus on today, and get through the rest later.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
