A College Senior's Final First Week Thoughts As Told By Joe Goldberg
Netflix | Youtube

Hello there. Who are you? Based on the course load, spring semester. Your first week of classes end early, yet fill me with stress. You have different sides to you. I want to experience all of those sides. You like to make the seniors feel nostalgic, reminding us all that this blissfully strained existence on a college campus is quickly coming to an end. Do you want to help me or hurt me? I have to know. Good thing I have all semester to figure you out. Your mediocre meals and vending machine Starbucks triple-shots fuel my motivation. Yet your thirsty Thursdays allow me to experience a short-lived sense of ferocious freedom. Regardless of how hungover I will be Friday morning, I still have to attend class. It's like you have me on a leash. I guess I'll have to deal with it for now. I'll see you in the morning, You.

Looking at how busy your last semester schedule is like...

When you are receiving constant class notifications...

Trying to motivate yourself to do work by saying...

Then distracting yourself from homework by posting on social media.

Passing people you recognize from freshman year but have no recollection of who they are.

Realizing that you got a 100% on your open note ​syllabus quiz...

and then proceeding to treat yourself as a reward...

to then realize that you don't have the money to treat yourself...

but continue to do it anyway.

Trying to motivate yourself to stay in your classes and graduate by saying...

then realizing that after this semester, college is over.

Starting off your thirsty Thursday at 7 pm like...

and then wondering why your friend looks like this by 11 pm.

How you're feeling when you go to bed that night with the spinnies.

Giphy.com

Waking up on Friday morning at 10 am like...

Giphy.com

and rushing to your class that starts at 10:10.

Giphy.com

How you sit in the back of the classroom pretending like you're not hungover...

Giphy.com

and your internal rage when your teacher calls you out on it.

Giphy.com

Trying to find your future knowing you're graduating in a few months.

Giphy.com

Finally realizing that its your very last semester so you have to make it the best one yet.

Giphy.com

So with all that's said and done, you very well might be the best thing to ever happen to me. I am infatuated with you. I am obsessed with you. I gotta soak you up before you slip through the cracks of my fingers. Because soon, love, you will be in the past.

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.
