10 Stages of Post Spring Break Depression, As Told By Schmidt
Hello Giggles

Now that spring break has come and gone, the real work of the semester begins. Coming back into my first week of classes, school has hit me like a ton of bricks. Midterms, papers and projects have left me wishing that spring break could last forever. I was not at all prepared for the amount of work that I would come back to. If you're like me and still dreaming of laying on the beach during vacation or at home on your couch (or however you spent your break), then this list is absolutely perfect for you.

1. When you realize that you have to go back to school and actually do work.

There's literally nothing worse than the realization that you won't be able to relax 24/7 anymore. Or that you have to get up at a responsible time in the morning once again.

2. And you are not at all ready to go back to actually being a responsible, hardworking member of society.

Two papers due this week? Two midterms on the same day? NO.

3. The realization that you didn't do any of the schoolwork/studying you should have done over break and now you're drowning in work.

I think we can all relate to the night before the first day after break when you discover that there were 35345 assignments you should have been working on.

4. When the first day back smacks you in the face and you're not thriving at all.

When you become so overwhelmed you just want to wrap yourself in a blanket and hide in bed forever. How do you school?

5. Because you spent all day sitting in class but your brain is still on break.

Sitting in class mentally still on vacation...because imagining your sitting on a beach is much better than listening to a sixty minute lecture. Maybe if I close my eyes I'll magically be back on the beach?

6. But then you see your friends and everything is right in the world.

A week apart feels like a lifetime in college. It might as well be when you are used to seeing your friends 24/7.

7. Until you remember that you're even closer to graduating now.

We don't talk about the "G" word. We ignore that it is even coming.

8. And you see all the freshman back on campus.

I feel older every time I see them walking around campus. "Youths! Youths everywhere!"

9. But you somehow make it to the end of the first week back.

There is no better feeling than knowing you survived the first week back after break. The week that feels like it will never end...finally came to an end.

10. And you finally made it to the weekend.

Time to celebrate! In the wise words of Schmidt, "It's on and poppin' up in here!" Time to let loose!

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
