The summers between college semesters are weird... You're home from your dorm, and back under parental supervision...but you're an adult now. College summers are weird, right?

You want to be responsible and earn that college tuition money, but you've worked your ass off all year and deserve to take a little break too. Trust me, I get it. And Lin Manuel Miranda, creator and star of Hamilton: An American Musical, gets it too. So never fear, Broadway star gifs are here! Rejoice in knowing your struggles are his struggles too.

1. You wanna have fun with your friends, but you gotta work...

Giphy

Sorry, I can't do that....I know I said this the last ten times you've invited me out...maybe next time?

2. When you finally get to go out and go way too hard.

Giphy

Fun fact: Never going out kills your tolerance. So drink responsibly, and remember to hydrate!

3. When you have time off and don't know how to handle it...

Giphy

I have no homework, no work, no laundry... WHAT IS THIS?!?!?

4. When a customer at work asks for your name to complain about you...

Giphy

I need to pay for college lady...I'm not giving you my name.

5. Road tripping with your friends like:

Giphy

Car jamming with your bffs will never go out of style.

6. When you get sent home early...

Giphy

I don't have to be here? But I'm not getting paid.... Oh well. I'll just strip for tuition.

7. Partying your depression away...

Giphy

I can't think about my crippling debt... Gotta turn it up.

8. When your college friends remind you of why you're excited to go back...

Giphy

I spend all summer missing my college friends...give me my late night food buddies back, man.

9. When your home town friends complain about you constantly talking about college...

Giphy

This is the most exciting time of our lives, so sorry if I have a lot of stories about the last year of my life.

10. Talking about your grades like:

Giphy

It doesn't matter that I'm basically flunking out of school... I'm always #winning.

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.
