Graduation Is In Less Than A Month: As Told By Boy Meets World

It has become literally the final countdown: graduation is in less than a month. So, what does this final month include? Fears upon fears upon some more fears. Now, I will say that your whole college career leads into moments when you panic, but this is the time when all your fears attack you. In this final month you may be purchasing your cap and gowns, receiving the dates of senior ceremonies or simply sitting in the corner of your room asking yourself: "What does one do with a degree?" or "How does one get so lucky to have a "big kid" job?" Well lets face it, we've all been there or some of us may be there now, but our dearest friends of Boy Meets World are here to comfort us in our time of need.

1) Am I made out to be an adultier adult?

We're coming to a close and the question has lingered in our minds for a while: will we be successful? We've sat in classrooms for four to five years while our teachers taught us all we needed to know to be successful in our chosen careers and have passed every test possible...DON'T LET US GOOOOO! After so many years, we got the college student thing down pat or else we wouldn't have made it this far; yet some of us sit here and wonder, "How do I breathe as an adultier adult?"

2) The dreaded question: Can everyone not ask it?

As the years have passed, everyone has heard the question: "What are you going to do with that degree?" but now the question is: "What do you see yourself doing now?" Umm here's the deal people, can you let me pass my classes first?! In real life a job doesn't happen until you pass those classes which leads to the degree. Us seniors have:

-Worked extremely hard.

-Experienced numerous all-nighters.

-Drank a huge amount of alcohol to ease the pain of some assignments.

-Sat through classes where nothing made sense and took tests saying, "Here goes nothing!"

But in the end, we came out on top! So instead of asking us what's next, congratulate us on surviving the toughest years of our academic careers!

3) Having to part with your friend group: How do you handle distance?

Listen, by four or five years, you have solid friendships...well for your sake, I sure hope you do! But here's the thing, no one told us how we are supposed to handle friendships that we worked so hard to build! You'd think we would've been taught that by now...

4) We all don't want to leave that teacher who is like our own Mr. Feeny.

Let's be honest, our favorite teacher in college has been the equivalent of our academic mom or dad. They've helped us network and taught us how to love our major, so what happens when we're not sitting in their classroom next year? We have to hope and pray that we can be half the person they know we can be.

5) Besides all the fears, lets trust that we can change the world someday.


We've made it through four to five years.

There have been countless times of crying and times of excitement; though we may become more and more scared this final month, we have to trust ourselves. We may not get the dream job right away or the promotion we spent years trying to get but trust in yourself; in time, what we work for will be achieved. Now, though I may put on an excellent front about graduation, if I look back on my five years of college, I have accomplished more than I thought imaginable; if my adultier life is anything like my college years, it'll be a solid deal.

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.

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.
