As the shiny newness of 1st semester begins to wear off, it is easy to fall into the mid-semester blues. Your days become long and daily life seems to be this everlasting cycle. With monotonous lectures and mediocre campus food crowding your college vibe, you will start to see some really strange things. Here is what college starts to look like.

1.) Pajamas in Public

You will finally start to see people act like zombies, in true Halloween spirit! Whether it is the just rolled out of bed look, the haven't done laundry in a month look, the hung over and need coffee look, or the plain lazy look, more than likely you will pass some plaid pajama wearing fools all around campus. Slippers will become common foot attire, regardless of the rain or snow, and I'm warning you to not be surprised when you hear snoring in class.

2.) Is it fall? Or is it summer?

One day its eighty degrees, the next it is rainy and cold. As the leaves change and fall, it is easy to see Mother Nature battling over which season she loves more. Even though we want summer to last forever, lets be honest, nothing is more annoying than having to drag out your summer clothes again in false hope of nice weather as it flip-flops between freezing or hot as hell.

3.) The need for caffeine

If hospitals could give IV's with a caffeine, any college student would volunteer as tribute. With midterm exams and projects all piled around the same time, students spend hours trying to put all the information their little brains. Every day only has 24 hours, so why not maximize your productivity with the spikes of caffeinated energy.

4.) Halloweenies

I promise, Halloween isn't a single day in college, it' a large portion of October. With dress up parties and events around campus, nothing beats the Halloween spirit. Go get some trashy costumes and enjoy the fun, after all it IS only one month out of the year.

5.) Mid Semester Blues

As I talked about above, the mid-semester blues will start to loom over your head. School is getting harder, the weather is gloomier, and maybe you'll even battle homesickness. The best thing you can do is take some time for yourself. Do something that makes you happy, take a short nap, go to a new restaurant, or even make a new friend! College is this amazing place, and you should let a slump in your routine be in control of you.

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.
