Signs you are ready to go back to school

Summer can't last forever.

Signs you are ready to go back to school

All of us look forward to summer and the rest time that it brings. But after a while you become ready to get back to school. Perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps because you miss your friends. Regardless of our reason, there are several things that those of us who are ready for the semester to begin have in common.


1. Feeling like you've been doing the same thing all summer long.


Even our favorite activities can get boring after a while. On campus, there is usually always something going on, and that is not the case while you're at home. As much as I love to read books and watch Netflix, something that is a bit more active would be a welcome change.


2. You actually miss the food on campus.


This may sound a bit strange to some, but the food is actually one of the things I'm looking forward to when I get back. While the food at home is most definitely tastier, there's something to be said about having choices on what you want to eat. Plus, at college, no one is going to judge you for eating pasta for lunch and dinner, or ordering pizza late at night.


3. You resent not having everything in walking distance.


Being able to take a short walk to get those pizza rolls I've been craving all day is something that I definitely took for granted. Now I have to wait to get a ride If I want to go anywhere.


4. Actually looking forward to your classes.


Being a History major means that I will definitely have a lot of writing to do this fall. Do I find this a bit intimidating? Yes. Does that stop me from being excited to take a class about medieval Europe? Absolutely not. Those three History classes I am taking are going to be a challenge, I realize that. But I also can't wait to get all of that neat information.


5. Little things are annoying you more.


This is one of those things that just seems to go along with wanting a change in pace. It happens when I'm ready for school to end, so it makes sense that it would happen when I'm ready for school to begin.


6. You miss having your friends around all the time.


This is especially true for those of us who are more introverted. Even though I am a girl who definitely needs my privacy, I am excited to be surrounded by my friends again.



The summer is coming to a close, and while some people are dreading the beginning of fall semester, I am happy that I have some things to look forward to.

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.
