The Many Stages Of A Hangover As Told By 'Spongebob'

You think going out for a night of drinking is nothing but fun, friends and drunk food. Unfortunately, many of us are woken the next morning by an unwanted feeling – the dreaded hangover. You toss and turn in an effort to force yourself back to sleep, but to no avail. You’re up and ridden with the lasting feelings of nausea and regret.

So it begins – the initial wake-up and the ever-present question of, ‘What happened last night?" Your heart begins to race, your mind is scrambling and for a brief few moments, you are unaware of the awful hangover that is quickly approaching.

Next, the panic-stricken search for your phone ensues. Phew! It’s just on the floor. Face down. Dead. After a brief wish for it not to be broken in a million pieces, you pick it up. You’re in the clear. You plug it in hoping to find something that will help you piece your night back together. Yes, it’s on! OK, I have to call Gabby. I think I was with her and she’s responsible. She’ll remember what happened. OK, maybe she doesn’t.

What is this feeling? Oh. My. Holy. I. Need. Water. So begins the agonizing trip to the kitchen for the most refreshing glass of water you think you’ll ever drink. You meander back to your room thinking you’ll be able to get some more sleep. Silly you.

On the bright side, you find out you didn’t embarrass yourself too badly. I mean, falling off a bar stool isn’t the epitome of appropriate behavior, but it sure beats the hell out of what you did last weekend. I know. I know. We promised we wouldn’t talk about it.

In an instant you seemingly can’t lift your head from the pillow, for fear of your head exploding. Forgetting last weekend’s hangover, you do the most rational thing you can think of. You text your friends to let them know you are experiencing the worst headache of your life.

In an effort to lull your nauseous stomach, you muster all the strength you can, and venture out for some air. I mean, you’re going to get food, but you need the air.

For some reason your coordination is just off. Maybe you’re still drunk, you tell yourself. There is no way; you’re too hungover to be drunk. But damn, I’m bumping into everything.

Your iced coffee just isn’t right. Doesn’t the barista know how much you needed it? The line to get a bagel is just so long. You feel like crap and your day is terrible. You immediately regret ever leaving your bed.

This day is off to a rough start. Maybe if I lay down, you think to yourself, I’ll feel better. Why is the sun so bright in my window? Pulling the covers over your eyes and letting out a deep sign, you fall asleep for a quick nap.

Two hours later. You wake up and wipe the drool off your cheek and regret ever having gotten back into bed. Somehow, you feel ever worse than before. Maybe if I shower and get ready, I’ll feel better.

The insatiable hangover hunger strikes again and you just need to eat.

You’ve consumed the necessary 2,000 calories of fried food to cure the worst of hangovers. After dipping your last fry in far too much ketchup, your friends ask if you want to go out again.

Mid-chew, you pause, thinking about the decision you are about to make. After a brief moment of hesitation, you’re ready to give the final verdict.

Yes, of course we’re going out tonight.

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.
