So you're a senior. And you have just began your second semester. You are pretty happy about it because the light at the end of the tunnel is in full view. But, you have noticed some distinct changes between now and last semester. You dress differently, you act differently. It's like a completely different school year, altogether.

Doing work:

First semester: I have 20 supplements to write, I made a schedule and I'm going to do 4 each day and edit them in my sleep, I'll get it all done and have time to do all my school work too.

Second semester: How much work can I ignore before I get kicked out of school.

Getting to school on time:

First semester: I would go in late so that I can get some work done in the morning, but I can’t because then I’ll fall behind in that class.

Second semester: I’m sleeping in today. Again.

Being at school

First semester: Walking around like you own the place.

Second semester: Walking around like you own the place.

Getting asked about college

First semester: Don’t ask unless you want a 2-hour-long explanation followed by an emotional breakdown.

Second semester: Either you know and you can’t wait, or you’re waiting to here. Either way, you’re much calmer.

Clothes

First semester: I have somehow managed to wear real clothes for weeks.

Second semester: is 4 days of wearing sweatpants too much for one week?

Study Hall

First semester: I wrote an entire novel series in 42 minutes.

Second semester: 5 minutes of work is too much, I’ll just sit here.

Leaving

First semester: You are so ready to be done.

Second semester: You’re getting a little nostalgic. Even if you won’t admit it.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
