Summer Is Almost Over and now it's time to mentally prepare ourselves for another year of pop-quizzes

Summer Is Almost Over and now it's time to mentally prepare ourselves for another year of pop-quizzes
Anna Russo

For all the kids home from college, we've already gone through 3 months of summer. What does this mean? It means we only have about a month left until we return back to the land of exams, homework, papers, and always our favorite . . . pop quizzes.

While I love the summer and everything that comes with it such as the good weather, the beach, no classes, my summer was pretty much a bust. When you're working almost 50 hours a week, you don't really have time for the fun things in life that come with the changing season.

So, you could pretty much say 'Cuse in 1 is almost as exciting to me as when someone says free ice cream.

When I'm up at school, I am fortunate enough to not have to work. For me, after 3 or 4 classes each day, I get to relax. I go back to my house, study, do my work, clean a little and maybe make some dinner and that's that. While at home, it's almost more work than I have at school.

To be honest with you it sometimes feels as if school is the vacation from home after returning for so many months 6-12 hour work days every day, then coming home to parents who of course have to get on your case about something, then always being too tired to do anything else.

At least at school, you're pretty much guaranteed two days off per week, aka the weekend.

As the summer comes to an end, it's only going to get busier. Now is the time to go dorm room shopping; for upperclassmen to furnish their new houses off campus, students running from Target to Marshalls to Home Goods then back again to find that "perfect color rug" for their ideal Pinterest inspired room.

Once we're all back at school and settled in, there is no time to run around so it has to happen now, during the last few weeks of summer.

If you take a survey of all students around the world about wishing they were back at school or stayed in a never-ending summer, I'm pretty sure you get one pretty even response. It would be something along the lines of "by the end of the school year, I'm ready to take a break and come home.

But by the end of the summer, I'm ready to leave and go to school." I like to call this the "student's dilemma" where no one place is good for too long.

In the end, we are all sad summer is coming to an end, but I'm looking forward to going back to school and see what new adventures await.

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.
