Sometimes going back home for the summer can be a drag. Yeah you are happy to spend quality time with friends and family but you don’t look forward to going back to the house rules, curfews, and chores that come with living at home. Now it is time to go back to school, and although you are happy here are a few of the things that you are most likely dreading.

Homework


After a summer of relaxation, the last thing you want is to have to do homework but that will be your reality again for the next nine months.

Exams


No one ever misses studying for exams, well in actuality cramming. We all dread this.

8 A.M.'s


So you just spent the last three months sleeping in and staying out late, going to as ay parties as you want, or even just watching Netflix all night long. Now you have to get back to a regular sleeping schedule to make it on time to your 8am class and stay awake for the whole two hours.

Cafeteria Food


Although the cafeteria food isn’t always that bad you know you are going to miss having a variety in your diet.

All nighters


We all try to avoid these but when midterms and finals role around we can’t seem to help it. And the stress that comes with it we are not excited for.

Free time and extra cash


We are going to miss having free time to do what we want. With the school year starting we have to juggle classes, extra-curricular activities, and for some of us working as well. We no longer have the extra time nor the extra money we had over summer break.

Seeing the people you don’t like


There is always at least that one person that you are always trying to avoid around campus, you had a break all summer now you have to go back to ducking and dodging.

Fighting for parking


No one is really sure the purpose of those student parking stickers anyway when you still everyday find yourself fighting for parking so you don’t have to walk blocks to get to class.

No longer having your own space


For those living on campus this is a huge downside, even if you have an awesome roommate you know that you will miss having your own room and not having to share a common area or bathroom.

Missing those home cooked meals


So you spent the summer at home and got a bit spoiled with the fridge always full and a nice home cooked meal every night, now you’ll have to wait until the holidays.

Paying for laundry

Being at home you have your own washer and dryer. You can do your laundry whenever you want for free or if you’re really lucky your mom will do it for you. Now those summer days have ended so back to stashing all the quarters you can find.

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.
