11 Reminders For Anyone Having A Ruff Time Leaving Their Dog
Kayla Quinn

College season has started once again, and after a summer full of your dog, it's time to leave them behind for the semester. But, fear not! Here's 11 reminders you need to hear when you have to leave your dog behind:

1. Every time you leave your dog will be difficult

It doesn't matter if it's the first time or the dozenth time: having to leave your furry friend behind is never easy for either of you.

2. You have plenty of pictures 

As any dog owner knows, there are albums dedicated to your dog alone on your phone. Although the picture doesn't compare to the real thing, you can show off all you want to everyone. 2

3. Your dog is getting plenty of love

My mom likes to say that Zander is in fact HER dog, and not the family dog. I know he's getting as much love from her as he did from me over the summer, and that's a really comforting thought.

4. You are so lucky to have your dog, and vice versa

Kayla Quinn

Your bond with your dog won't go away with distance, I promise.

5. You aren't leaving forever 

You know you'll be back with your dog in no time at all.

6. FaceTime does exist

If you miss your dog, just call home and put the dog on. You know you want to.

7. Your dog still loves you 

Your dog is, if we're being honest, your number one fan. No ifs, ands, or buts.

8. You are most definitely on your dog's mind 

Your dog is thinking about you and missing you just as much as you're missing them.

9. Your dog believes in you 

Hey, if you're ever having a bad day, just remember your number one fan.

10. You have all school breaks with your dog

Kayla Quinn

Breaks will fly by, sure, but at least you get to spend them all with your dog!

11. Your dog will be waiting for you whenever you come back home

Kayla Quinn

It doesn't matter how long you're away, your dog will always be happy to welcome you home.

Goodbye's are never easy, but they aren't forever! Good luck this semester.

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.
