Yes, I am a junior in college and yes I still wish for snow days. There is something so exciting about knowing that all of your responsibilities are put on hold, even if it is just for a short 24 hours.

1. That test is postponed for ANOTHER week

You can sleep soundly knowing you just bought so more time to prepare.

2. All of your friends are within walking distance (or may even live with you)

Giphy

There's no better time for a sleepover.

3. You probably won't have to make up the days

Giphy

Odds are professors will postpone the class' plans to the next time you have class. Thankfully at GW, we don't need to worry about the "180 days of school" requirement.

4. You can stay up late doing work OR relaxing

Giphy

Turn off all of your alarms and do what you please!

5. Sometimes you really needed a self care day, but couldn't fit in your schedule otherwise

Giphy

It is so important to spend time on yourself. In order to present the best version of you, you need to take time to reflect and treat yourself to the things that make you happy.

6. You can catch up on the sleep you definitely don't have

Giphy

Sleep is a requirement— not a luxury.

7. You don't have to go outside and help your parents shovel or clean the car off

Giphy

We all have to admit, shoveling is not the move and will never be.

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.
