The end of each semester in college is a whirlwind of stress and sleepless nights. You just want finals to be over, but the thought of not seeing your college friends every day makes you sick to your stomach. During the stress, don't forget to thank the people that got you through this semester with every laugh, text of encouragement, and coffee date. Don't forget to thank your college friends for these four things:

1. Thank you for pushing me. 

Your college friends understand the stress you are under and they get how important it is to do well. They're there for every meltdown, but they're the ones to kick you back into gear and never let you forget why you shouldn't give up. You wouldn't have survived this semester without their constant motivation and reminders of why we are doing this.

2. Thank you for listening.

For every late night meltdown and pre-exam freak-out, your college friends are there to listen and calm you down. Having someone there to make things all better when everything is falling apart is what life is all about and your college friends deserve a thousand thank-yous for keeping you sane.

3. Thank you for the adventures.

School consumes most of our lives, but when we get the free time for an adventure, you learn to appreciate all the time you have. Whether it be exploring your college town or a simple lunch off of campus, you love the time spent with your friends, and the thought of an entire summer without them right there is agony.

4. Thank you for staying up with me.

For all of the late night studying and early mornings, your college friends are there to make it less miserable. Don't forget to thank them for all of the help studying and the constant quizzing of the material on your upcoming exam. You really couldn't have passed this semester without them.

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.
