If you're like me and have bitten off a bit more than you can chew this semester, then this article is for you.

At the beginning of every semester, I always get really motivated and sign up for all the classes and clubs and make all of these plans with people, thinking that I'll be able to handle it. Usually, I'm okay for about six weeks, and then everything starts picking up and piling on and I feel like I'm drowning.

Also, I feel like all of my professors have secret meetings in which they discuss how they can all plan all of their things for the same time just to mess with me.

Hopefully I'm not the only one?

Things You Know If your Workload is Slowly Sapping Away Your Life

You come into the school year motivated and ready for whatever your life throws at you, but maybe you were a bit too excited when you registered for classes last semester...

You're okay for a while, but then things just keep piling up and piling up, but you just keep putting it off.

Soon, things start to get out of hand, but you're not panicking - yet.




So you lose a little sleep finishing your homework, whatever. It's just one night, right?


WRONG

Now, on top of all the stress from your workload, you have existential life crises on whether or not you should just call it quits.


Or, if you're me...

Somehow, somehow you survive the semester.


That's when the fun starts. After that semester, you deserve it.


We can do it, guys. We're halfway there!

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.
