NPR

You've done it.

You've made it past those dreaded midterm exams, papers, or presentations. What's left? The popular show, Parks and Recreation, describes what's in store for a college student at the end of the semester.

1. When you convince yourself the second half of you'll do better than the first:

Yeah, well a girl can dream can't she?

2. When November 1st rolls around:

It's time to replace those Halloween door decorations with Christmas decorations!

3. When there's still assignments you need the grade for:

The drop period has already come and gone, but

4. When its time to register for spring classes:

Why must be registration be harder than my Fall classes?

5. When an assignment sneaks up on you:

Did you forget about me?

6. When your friends plan an epic roadtrip after a particularly stressful week:

Good music, good friends, simply good things are waiting for us on the road.

7. When your professor, who explicitly stated the opposite in the syllabus, gives an extra credit assignment:

Are you just trying to sugar-coat some awful truth? Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?

8. When you see professors assigned work over Thanksgiving break:

We're so close to the end, but how about I just quit now.

9. When Thanksgiving Holiday finally rolls around:

I'm going to need to eat extra this year to make sure I have enough energy to return to school.

10. When you turn in your last assignment for a class:

So long, Fall '17.

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.

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.
