Going Home For Break As Told By April Ludgate

"But then I remembered that alcohol existed."

Going Home For Break As Told By April Ludgate

If you've seen NBC's comedy sitcom , "Parks and Recreation", you probably know April Ludgate as the cynical yet witty character whose every line has probably been drenched in sarcasm. And with college students going home for winter break to spend time with their families and friends, I thought, what better way to describe the experience than through April Ludgate quips?

With that said, here are eight quotes that you may relate to if you are headed home this holiday season:

1. When you see your mom for the first time in weeks and she's a little more affectionate than you expected:

2. When you've just given your sister her Christmas present, but you're not really the touchy-feely type:

3. When you've had a long, stressful semester at college and you can't even remember what you're interested in outside of academics:

4. I'm sure you feel this way toward at least one person in your family: (Maybe an older sibling? Your aunt?)

5. If you're from a large family and everyone tries to talk to you about how you're doing and how's school and whether you've found a girlfriend/boyfriend yet, you will eventually find yourself thinking:

6. When you're watching your young cousins play an intense game of "Capture the Flag":

7. ...and then they ask you to join them:

8. Just because it's Christmas time:

Surely not everybody is this moody or pessimistic about spending time with their families as I might have made it seem with these quotes, but we each have a hint of April Ludgate in us when it comes to extensive interactions with a nosy, energetic family.

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.
