When the month of May hits, many college students are free for the summer. Beach trips are planned, sleep is caught up on, and laying out by the pool becomes an everyday expectation. However, if your school doesn't get out until mid-May, I feel your pain. Here are thirteen things that I relate to as I study for finals and watch everyone have the time of their lives.

1. You physically cannot take another bite of dining hall food.

2. You’re dripping in sweat on the way to class and then the air conditioning freezes it onto your body once you get there.

3. ...or the AC completely stops working in your hundred-year-old dorm building.

4. All of your friends from high school are at the beach, and it’s all over their Snapchat stories.

5. Your friends from home have started planning pool trips in the group message, but you’ll be sitting in class hours away.

6. You’re staying up until 3 a.m. studying for finals, while your friends at home are staying up until 3 a.m. watching Netflix.

7. Because of these late night study sessions, your sleep deprivation is at an all-time high.

8. You have a sudden urge to jump into the lake or fountain every time you pass it.

9. You are forced to sit in class and watch a beautiful day pass by.

10. Athletic shorts are considered your everyday wear.

11. You haven’t opened Instagram in weeks because you know it’s just photo after photo of your friends on summer vacation.

12. You try to calculate what your grades would be if you just drove home and missed your finals.

13. On the last day of classes, your brain starts playing “What Time is It?” from “High School Musical 2” on repeat.

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.

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.
