Moving back to college is great.

You get to start a brand new year and see your friends that you've missed all summer. One of the best parts about going back to school is syllabus week, that wonderful week where you can change up your class schedule if you start to freak out about your major or just get back into the groove of things.

Most students spend this time doing whatever they want because nothing important ever happens in class, and this is the only time that will ever be an actual thing. For some students, this means sleeping as much as possible, and for others it means going out every night with your best friends.

Either way, you get to enjoy your stress-free week doing what you love. Here are just a few of the high's and low's that occur during syllabus week, as told by the cast of Friends:

1. Realizing you have to get up for class on Monday morning (and every morning after that).

2. When you know you should go to sleep but that new episode just can't wait.

3. Trying to decide if you've picked the right major or if you should change it again.

4. Not having any of your books picked out or even ordered yet and realizing the mistake you've made when the professor says you'll be using them every day.

5. Trying not to fall asleep while the professor reads over the syllabus.

6. Getting homework assignments when you have no motivation.

7. Spending more time watching Netflix or eating in the dining hall than preparing for your classes.

8. Hanging out with your friends and ignoring all responsibilities.

9. When your professor hits you with that syllabus quiz you forgot about.

10. Trying to talk yourself into actually working out this year.

11. Wishing you were walking on the beach instead of speed walking to class.

12. When you are convinced by the classes you're taking that college isn't going to work out.

13. When syllabus week is ending and you actually have to start learning.

14. Realizing it's going to be a rough semester but, in the end, you will survive (maybe).

When syllabus week ends (much sooner than you realize), students usually face the facts that no week will be as relaxing as this week. Yeah, you may have had to take a syllabus quiz or two, and you may have walked into the wrong class, but at the end of the week, you realize how good you had it and how rough it's about to get.

It probably feels like the next four months are going to kill you, but the good news is that you'll still have a few days here and there that will bring you back to that wonderful feeling that only syllabus week can give you. Don't worry though, you'll get another one after Christmas!

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.
