Well, you made it. Weeks of struggle bussing with school, work, clubs, and God knows what else, are over. Now what lies ahead is a week or so of pure bliss. From a mother's touch to the stressful family outings, Kevin and his gang know exactly how this is all about to go:

The end of the semester probably has you feeling like you may explode

You are out of money, happiness, and patience. The break can't come soon enough.

And your last day of class before the break is testing you more than you need

Really? Required attendance? Today?

Seriously, finals are coming really soon and like me, you probably aren't even close to being ready

Those finals are coming like a freight train and there is absolutely no extra time or extra points to find anywhere.

But you made it so now it's time to let loose

But not too loose...because finals.

And we all know what you'll really be doing during the break

Sleeping is the best early Christmas present, hands down.

Which you'll be needing to do in order to cope with your annoying younger relatives

You're tired, bitter, and too old for their mischief. But don't be too much of a Scrooge, because you know better than anyone else that childhood is a forgotten wonder that your 18 credit hours have stolen from you.

And God forbid you have to take them with you on your family outings to holiday shop


Just don't take it out on the customer service employees. They have to deal with it too, but on top of everyone else's kids that walk terrorize their store.

But on the chance you get to go alone with your mom's credit card...

Nothing feels better than shopping with a checking account with more than $1.50 in it.

But you're barely an adult at this point so you know you don't really belong at the store on your own

And all the people from your hometown constantly remind you of that.

Not to mention being home again makes you feel like it's ok to be 10 again

From getting you extra blankets during your afternoon naps and bringing you snacks, moms make it hard to go back to the real world.

Even though that's probably not for the best

Ok so try not to take too much advantage of the whole, "kid" thing. An 18 year old jumping on the bed is a little silly. Even though you totally tried it.

And during your last few days of break, you'll be constantly reminded by your parents of your impending doom.

I know break is over soon mom. No reminder please.

Cause back at school, you'll be feeling a lot of this

A whole lot of struggle bus.

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.
