Freshman Year

First week of freshman year: Alright, this is it. I am in college. I will be responsible. I will do all my homework. I will go to every single on of my classes. I will work out. And I will have a healthy social life.

A month into it: Ugh, I missed my 8 a.m. for like the twentieth time this semester. AM I SERIOUSLY FAILING THIS CLASS?? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? Oh, right.... I never went to class.

College (or life) never goes the way you plan it. You party way too much and sleep in even more. Everything is out of whack because you are in control. And if you choose to mess up, you get to. Because your parents aren't there to punish you.

Maybe you end up on academic probation, so you promise yourself to be better the next year.

Sophomore Year

You know how you made that promise to do better? JUST KIDDING. You kinda do it. You still party way too much, you stay up way too late and miss class far too often. But it's good, your GPA is looking good. You got this!

Junior Year

This is the year you kind of have to become an adult, even though you don't feel like it. You feel the pressure of the real world coming at you but you don't really know what to do. Your resume doesn't fill up to half the page! So you start to stress out about getting a job after graduation and paying off your loans. About 69% of you wants to quit and hide from the government because... loans.

Senior Year

Oh no! It's almost time for graduation! You kind of never want to graduate but on the other end, you can't wait to get f**k out of this town. You have work, internships, applications, and just life in general... but no time to relax. You think to yourself, "Is this what rest of my life will be like from now on?". But it's okay because you're about to graaaaadduuuuaaateeee!

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.
