A New Journey Ahead: Life After Graduation

In just a few months, some of us will have a degree under our belt. A bachelors in English, communications, biology, archeology, music, education, and more. With hard work and dedication, our majors and minors will help us obtain careers and do things that we were meant to do. Our time in college will be missed but not forgotten. The late night study sessions. The movie nights with our friends. The dinners at our favorite hangouts. The happy hours after a long day of classes. The meetings for all of the clubs or groups we were part of. We will leave between friends that won't graduate until May or even the next few years. We will also leave behind people who have taught us and enlighten us on our fields of study. These professors have been important influences during our college careers. However, again, we will still have these memories to remember and look back upon.

Some of us already have plans after we graduate while some of us don't. It's ok. There is still time. You don't have to start "adulting" until after December 18. Life will be different. New expectations will arise. New adventures as college gradates. We will become working class adults. We won't have that 2 hour Netflix break after class. We probably won't have our best friends living next store. Therefore, we should appreciate the time we have as seniors, or even super seniors, to enjoy our last few months of college.

Some of us may be anxious to get out into the "real" world to discover ourselves. Or some may be scared to begin a new chapter in our lives. Just remember, it will take time to adapt to these things. Everything will fall in place eventually.

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.
