What better way to explain my first semester than with songs.

1. I Love College - Asher Roth 

Months leading up to college this was my song on repeat. I was excited to start a new chapter of my life and make new friends this year.

2. I Fall Apart -Post Malone 

The first couple weeks of college flew by, I felt like I was at summer camp. Endless sleepovers, and no parents. Until the weekend before my first test it all hit me. I no longer was having the time of my life. But, I was drowning in textbook readings, and essay.

3. Better -Khalid

After getting into the routines of things I began to feel more at home. And I was on top of my school work which felt like a weight off of my shoulders.

4. Mo Bamba -Sheck Wes 

The first few weekends I'm pretty sure the only song that DJs had on its queue was Mo Bamba. This song was good the first 100x.

5. DEVASTATED -Joey Bada$$

Midterms Feels. Morale is low. I still don't understand any of the content we spent the first weeks learning, i'm sleep deprived, and hungry, Devastated is the reaction that my parents had when checking my grades afterwards on My Slice.

6. Work -Iggy Azalea. 

"No money, No family, Sixteen in the middle of Miami" Basically same, Except eighteen in the middle of Syracuse.

7. Coming Home -Keith Urban 

Pre Thanksgiving Break. I was so excited to go back home and enjoy a nice meal away from the dining hall.

8. Pocketful of Sunshine -Natasha Bedingfield. 

"Take me away, A secret place, A sweet escape" After being home more than 24 hours I immediately wanted to go back to Cuse land. Somehow my parents got 100x more annoying than I remembered. They proceeded to yell at me every 5 seconds for stupid things like not cleaning my room or being out to late at night.

9. Pound the Alarm -Nicki Minaj 

Lawrinson Fire Drills. This semester I was blessed enough to have two in a row one night. One was at 4:45 am, the other at 5:33 am.

10. Mistletoe -Justin Bieber. 

Someone through some my direction. Its cuffing szn but I still haven't found anyone yet. My relationship life? A momentary low point. My excitement for Christmas ? Couldn't be any higher.

11. All the kids are depressed -Jeremy Zucker. 

Finals? Who are you. I feel like we literally just we taking midterms.

12. Free Fallin - John Mayer

Free from school work at last. Just a month of freedom to enjoy family, high school friends, and sleeping in.

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.
