To The Student Who Changed Their Major,

Everybody changes their major at least one time in college, right?

You are most likely a completely different person than you were in high school. Maybe for your case, growing up you always knew you wanted to do a certain career path. Even going into college your mind was still set on that career. Perhaps throughout your whole life you had no idea what you wanted to do, and maybe you're in college right now still confused about what you want to do for the rest of your life. Let me tell you this, everything is going to be okay. Whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior, or a senior everything will be okay.

College is truly the place where you will find out new things about yourself. Things you like or dislike, or things that you are passionate about and will fight for. College could be a bad or a good change for you, it all depends on how you view that certain situation. Be adventurous and take classes outside your major or your interests.You may surprise yourself and fall in love with that class, and want to take more classes involving that major. Make appointments and meet with the professors in that department. Talk to them and tell them about your situation, and they will try to help you as much as they can. Take advantage of the resources around you, talk to your advisor and your professors. They have been in your shoes before and they are there to help you.

You have four years to change your mind and that's okay. No one is going to judge you, and to be honest nobody will care. It's your life and your future. Do what makes you happy, and work hard to become the best person and student you can be. Go out there and get your degree and prove to the people out there who say you are a "lost student." Do something that you will love, and get into a career that it won't feel like a job to you every morning you wake up.

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.
