An Open Letter To College Freshman
Giphy

Look at you! You have almost made it through your first semester of college! The first hurdle is almost here! Once you make it past this milestone the rest of college will just fly by! It feels like just yesterday I was a freshman moving in and I was terrified about being away from home and away from my family. Here I am now two years later and I am in my second year of college and I am happier than ever! You may be stressed now, but trust me it does get better and it is worth it! I may not seem like it now, it may seem better to just drop out and become a stripper or something, but that is NEVER the solution! Life always has to throw you a couple of curve balls to keep things interesting or it would be the same every day and that would get very boring.

Finals week as a freshman in college can seem like a lot, but you are not alone. The upperclassmen are just as stressed and just as freaked as you are! They are probably in a worse place then you because they have junior and senior seminar presentations to think about on top of tests for other classes they are taking! Never hesitate to ask for help if you need it, go see a tutor, go talk to the professor (that could always be the difference in your grade being a B or an A at the end of the semester), do whatever you can to get the good grade (within reason).

Now if you are one of those lucky freshman who are coming into college with some experience of college courses already you are ahead of the game! You would be amazing and help out your fellow classmates in the process of finals week and help them understand a good way of how to study or how to plan their schedules for that week or something. Anything that helps your fellow classmates and could possibly help you would be amazing!


GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON FINALS IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR!

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.
