You can do it.

To The Struggling College Student, Summer Is Almost Here
Rachel Neal

Dear struggling college student,

I know it feels like the end of the spring semester is so close yet so far away.

Trust me, we're all going through the blues.

The weather is nice, so all you wanna do is go outside and soak in the sun, but exams and studying and essays are all calling your name and preventing you from leaving your dorm.

I'm here to tell you that you can do it.

I know it's hard, but it'll be all worth it.

It'll be worth it once you pass all your classes.

It'll be worth it when you get to move back home to spend a few months with your family that you missed so much.

It'll be worth it when you can go to endless summer concerts and have the best time of your life.

It'll be worth it when you get to go on that vacation that you've planned for what feels like forever.

It'll be worth it when you can take long road trips with your friends with the windows down, blasting music, laughing until you're crying, and making those unforgettable memories with them again.

But most importantly, it'll all be worth it when you're finally stress-free and happy.

It sucks right now, but it won't suck in a few weeks once you take that final exam, walk out of your last lecture hall, and don't have to stay up all night finishing a 5-8 page essay.

So keep going, keep working hard, and make yourself proud by getting the grades you want and the grades you deserve.

Summer is almost here.

Happiness is almost here.

You can do it. I know you can.

Sincerely,

A fellow struggling college student

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.
