Your attitude is what needs to change

#PositivityStreak
Kailey Murphy

Everyone thinks that college sucks, but what really sucks is everyone’s attitude who is in college. You go to college to get an education, so if you hate school so much then why are you even here? If you can’t stand to be away from your mom then why did you move four hours away from her?

Why did you come to college if you hate it so much? And if you really can't stand this town, then why do you keep coming back? Why did you even apply for your program if you said it is hell on day one? Everyone needs to do some self reflection before they decide if they want to even go to college in the first place and how far away you want to move.

People are so caught up with comparing themselves to one another. And if that is what your main priority is then you are never going to be happy. College is a time to move away, become independent and find yourself. But being in with the wrong group of friends won’t help you do this. You need friends who will inspire you, support you, and lift you up. Not friends who tell you who you can and can’t be friends with and only choose to support you when it benefits them.

We could all use some positivity in our lives, and it starts with us. If you are waiting for others to be positive while you still have a negative outlook of life, then it's not going to change



So I encourage you all to find the #Positivity in everyday, and see how much your attitude changes, and then see how much better your day is.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
