The Life Of A Grad Student As Told By Winnie-The-Pooh

If there is one person (bear) who understands us, it’s definitely Winnie. AKA: A.A. Milne

Sometimes (okay, let’s be honest), most of the time, graduate school is pretty tough. With hundreds of pages of readings each week, 15-page papers, projects, presentations, and let’s not forget that wonderful thing called a Master’s thesis, it gets kind of overwhelming.

1. “You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

via GIPHY

Graduate school is new territory for all of us. Don’t be afraid to get out there and show them what you’re made of.

2. “People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.”

via GIPHY

‘Nothing’ is always a pleasant task sitting right in the middle of every grad student’s to-do list.

3. “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ‘What about lunch?’”

via GIPHY

Sometimes the best things in life are simple and delicious – like lunch.

4. “When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.”

via GIPHY

We all have to put on our Big Boots sometimes. This terrible time is also known as finals week or (for some of us) the entire second year of our Master’s degree program.

5. “Think, think, think.”

via GIPHY

Maybe if we say it enough, it will actually happen.

6. “I did know once, only I’ve sort of forgotten.”

via GIPHY

Except, then this happens.

7. “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

via GIPHY

We rushed through our undergraduate years only to end up right back in a classroom. Savor these moments, because unless your goal is to become a professor, the real world is only a thesis paper away.

8. “Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?”

via GIPHY

We’ve all been there. It’s called Friday.

9. “You can’t help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn’t spell it right; but spelling isn’t everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn’t count.”

via GIPHY

Trying is what really matters in life.

10. “When you do the things that you can do, you will find a way.”

via GIPHY

Don’t forget who you are and what you like to do. If you’re passionate about what you do, your boss (or whoever your supervisor is i.e. a professor, etc.) will notice.

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.
