To The College Senior Ready For The Real World

Senior year of college is definitely a weird time in life. It's that time where you are sitting in your classes realizing you will be done with your undergraduate degree in less than 6 months. You did it!

Fear. Doubt. Excitement. Struggles. Successes. Changes. Accomplishments.

Throughout these four years, the emotions and experiences students go through are a once in a lifetime experience. If you have the means and drive to get your undergraduate degree at a university or college, you should do it. College is a time not only to further your education but to learn a ton about yourself and what you truly want for your life.

Think about it. When you enter college, you are 18 and probably leaving home for the first time. You have probably only seen a tiny bit of the world, and this is the beginning of a huge experience. You are placed with many individuals who come from completely different backgrounds.

Like anything in life, it has its pluses and minuses. But, the experience you gain is once in a lifetime.

When you have a bad day. When you don't want to get out of bed. When you land an internship. When you are honored at a university event. When you attend the football game for the last time. All of these things, each and every day, come and go within the blink of an eye.

But...one day you'll be ready.

One day it will just click.

You'll be perfecting your resume. Meeting with career advisors. Thinking hard about what you truly want. Applying to different positions. Pricing out apartments. You'll be invested in yourself. You'll think of your true dreams.

Everything is possible at this point.

But hey, college senior, do not consume your time only on these things. Try to enjoy. Try to live those last few young adult moments. Hangout with whoever you want. Stay up late at night. Live your last college moments - it does not last forever.

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.
