Marsupials Explain What It's Like to Be Home for the Summer

Going back home for the hottest months of the year is a unique experience, especially if you've just been away at college. While your friends are advancing their careers through internships, or saving children in foreign countries, you're probably on your sixth existential crisis/Gilmore Girls episode of the day. The strange feeling of being back home is a difficult one to explain, but these adorable marsupials understand!

Sleeping all day...

Koalas sleep 20 hours a day and get high off plants for the remaining four, a rigid schedule similar to that of the stereotypical collegiate's.

...and coming alive at night:

Sugar gliders know how to parrrrtay.

When nobody's gone grocery shopping yet so you eat whatever you can find:

This quokka's pissed he couldn't make it to Whole Foods last week.

Hanging out with your friends that are still in high school:

Wish I could keep my baby koala/high school friends safe in my pouch.

When your friends ask you to drive:

The new Chevy Opossum seats up to six.

Seeing your whole squad at the party:

A wooden box full of crazed opossums is seriously my type of get-together.

When you see a "Now Hiring" sign:

Wallabies don't need summer employment, because being cute is a FULL-TIME JOB.

Reuniting with your BFFs:

After years of friendship, they're totally koala-fied to put up with your hometown cabin fever.

"Come over I have snacks"

Hope this wombat makes it before the Cheez-Its are gone.

Seeing someone from your high school in public:

"YOU AGAIN."

When someone hints that you're lazy for not getting a job/internship/your life together yet:

In conclusion, there's no shame in not having Big Plans this summer. If any of your internship-serving, Europe-backpacking pals ask how your summer's going, show them some relatable marsupials instead of trying to hype it 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.
