We've all been there, just relaxing without a care in the world. There's a blissful sense of freedom to watch Netflix or read a book you've had on your shelf for months. It's all so beautiful to be commitment free and it happens. You realize you messed up some dates in your planner or just forgot that you even owned a planner. No matter how it happens, now you're stuck not knowing where the time went you're flying around trying to get every piece of homework you had neglected done before the due date!

1. It's a weekday evening, you're laying on the couch just snacking and surfing through Netflix when it happens: the sinking feeling that you've got something due.

2. You fly off the couch with mutant like speed to find your syllabus and see it in sickening black ink. In the next 48 hours, you have three papers, two exams and a group project due.

3. You start to curse your professor because HOW DARE THEY ASSIGN SO MUCH WORK?

Don't they know you have other classes and a social life? (Never mind the fact this was assigned a month ago).

4. Then, you set off to do what took others a month in one night.

Prepare the coffee and the tears!

5. Halfway through you're about ready to give up, drop out, and become a stripper.

Who needs a college degree?

6. You decide that you've done so much fantastic (subpar) work that you deserve a break.

7. Finally, as the sun rises your perfect example of procrastination is complete and ready to turn in.

You feel deliriously sleepy and insanely proud of yourself.

8. You promise yourself that you'll keep a better to do list and check your syllabus regularly.

You never want to have to pull an all-nighter like that again.

9. But then...that sinking feeling...again.

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.

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.
