Sue Heck's Advice for College

"The Middle" is one of the most true to life shows I have ever watched. It compasses family life, friendships, relationships, and so much more.

Sue, the teenage daughter, is the perfect example of all of our most embarrassing moments, but she wears her confidence boldly and doesn't allow her awkwardness to bring her down.

In honor of that confidence, here are five times Sue Heck was honestly all of us in our college experience.

1.

Sometimes, things in life come out of no where. These can be literal stumbling blocks like a crack in the sidewalk or a curb (or a crutch), but more often than not, they are life challenges. We are blind sighted by difficulty and confusion.Like Sue, we fall flat on our face, not really knowing where to go next. But Sue always rises. She dusts herself off and keeps going. She is not always sure of the path, but she never lets anything keep her down.


2.

Sue runs full force into new situations. This doesn't always go well. Sometimes she jumps too hard, and things don't go as planned. Take Sue's lead and go full force into this new time of your life, but be prepared. Pray about it, and make sure you are prepared.


3.

Relationships are hard. Things we plan out in our heads rarely go as we had planned them. Keep your cool in these situations. Don't freak out when you make something awkward; we are all a little awkward. Grant yourself grace and move on. You will not be best friends with every person you meet, and that is okay. Those who are meant to be in your life will love you through your awkwardness.


4.

Here's another example of relationships being hard. Sometimes, you think you have built trust, then when you jump we realize it has not been genuine. Take a deep breath. It will be okay. People will fail us continually, but we have to search for the good. Don't allow one situation to define a person for you. At the same time, you need to allow plenty of time and space for trust to be built. Don't just jump into it.


5.

Be so incredibly you. Don't shy away from being yourself. Sue has no shame. Just go with it. Having confidence will never be a bad thing.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
