The Stages Of The First Month Of School

It can be quite the emotional, mental, and physical roller coaster.

The Stages Of The First Month Of School
UCSB News

1. When you move in, you are super excited about school and friends, and are determined to great great grades this quarter.

2. You tell yourself you are only going to go out the first week and from then on you can only go on the weekends because school is super important.

3. You also tell yourself you’re going to be super healthy and active and go to the gym.

4. You sign up for everything because you think you’re going to have time to do it all.

5. Suddenly you miss one day of homework and are drowning in work trying to catch up.

6. You stop showing up to almost all of the clubs you originally signed up for.

7. Sleep becomes more important than going to lecture, or you decide that you’d rather do all of your catch up work because it’s more “effective” that way.

8. You realize you’ve been to the gym once since getting to school.

9. And you also get FOMO (fear of missing out) so you think going out more, including on a bunch of weekdays after power week is over, is a great idea.

10. Oops, you overslept and missed your section again and had to email your TA that you’re dying of some sort of illness.

11. Homesickness starts to creep up on you, and then you realize you can’t go home because you have midterms next week.

12. And because you are still trying to catch up from one day that you missed in the beginning of school so you become a coffee dependent life form that lives in the library.

13. The idea of eating healthy is tossed out the window because you become too lazy to walk anywhere far away to get food while studying.

14. You doubt your previous decisions about going out instead of doing the essay that is worth 50% of your grade and is due tomorrow.

15. But somehow you pull through because of insane focus, will power, and Yerba Mate.

16. You make it through midterms only to realize that you have another round of them coming in a week.

17. You eagerly count down the days until break when you are free of school.

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.
