Going Home For Spring Break, As Told By Ben & Jerry's Flavors

Going Home For Spring Break, As Told By Ben & Jerry's Flavors
Ben & Jerry's

Most of us college students have experienced the reluctance of going home for spring break, or, at least, the reluctance to go home for some other holiday, while our other friends are off skiing or at some exotic beach. In honor of Ben & Jerry's releasing three new (absolutely delicious-sounding) flavors this past week, let's go over the emotions of going home for spring break, Ben & Jerry's style.

1. Holy Cannoli

I can't believe my friends skipped their Friday classes so they could catch their flights to Mexico and New York. And while I'm here in my 2:30 class, thinking about how this is going to be the Longest. Week. Of. My. Life.


2. Hazed & Confused

OK, am I sure I used to live here for 18 years? This does not feel right at all... I miss my real home, my 10x10 shared dorm room with perpetually dirty floors.


3. Chubby Hubby

OK, so there is one upside to being home: mom's cooking. It definitely comes at a price (her talking my ear all dinner), but it absolutely beats cafeteria food. Except I won't be able to fit in all those jeans I left at school...


4. Half-Baked

Oh, sweet, some of my out-of-state friends are back for the break, too. Time for some fun.


5. Chocolate Therapy

Wow, the week's almost over? OK, I definitely won't admit this to my parents, but this has actually been pretty nice. No classes, no professors, no annoying daily emails from the school with pointless reminders... Plus, none of the stress of traveling that my vacationing friends have had. Maybe I'll even come home for summer...



6. Coffee, Coffee, BuzzBuzzBuzz!

Was that really a full week...? Doesn't matter — it's Sunday morning and I am almost back to campus! Can't wait to finish off a sweet semester. Definitely not going back home this summer.

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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.
