The end of the spring semester of college is a blessing.

Once finals are finished and hopefully crushed, the summer is all yours. Going back home for a few months is extremely refreshing and well needed.

There are some aspects you might miss about college, including your friends and your freedom, but there are definitely plenty of reasons to want to leave for the summer.

1. Twin XL bed

I honestly don't know how I've dealt with sleeping in this thing for this long. I will not miss you, at all.

2. Dining hall food

My dining hall food isn't really even that bad, but it gets old eventually. Even if my parents aren't the best in the food department, I will be looking forward to home-cooked meals.

3. Paper thin walls

The WORST thing about trying to sleep at college is how thin the walls are. You can literally hear every single movement or door closed from the hallway and even the floor above you.

4. Excessive amounts of studying

College = studying. Time to take a break, boys.

5. Extremely small showers

Have you ever tried shaving your legs in a shower the size of a box? Not as easy as it sounds, trust me.

6. Taking the bus for transportation

The bus isn't the worst thing ever, but waiting in line and not knowing when it will come is a horrible guessing game.

7. Or needing to spend all my money on Uber

I'm sure all my money will go towards something else now, like gas. I just can't wait to have a car back.

8. Going to early morning classes

Going to work at 8 am sure beats going to learn chemistry at 8 am. Here's to sleeping in this summer.

9. Hot and sweaty dorm rooms

For a school with air conditioning in the dorms, these dorms are still sure hot as hell. I will not miss waking up basically drenched every morning.

10. Shitty weather

I know it's not college's fault that the weather is only good when we aren't in session. But really though, summer is long overdue.


Of course like I previously mentioned I will miss certain aspects of the college lifestyle this summer. I'm especially not looking forward to having a curfew or having to share my car. I will miss my friends the most, and living so far away from people you shared a room with will be a huge adjustment. But for now, I'm looking forward to moving out and getting back home.

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.
