WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan!

This Is What Your Body Is Telling You By The Second Week of The Semester
The Mighty

When we go on break, we tell ourselves that our bodies need breaks so we can be refreshed for the next semester. So we sleep in every single day because we never get that sleep during the semester. We eat whatever we want because we try to eat healthy all the time while we are at school. We say the week before we will try to get back on schedule so we are prepared for the semester! Except we do none of that because the break sneaks up on us and we are dying by the second week of the semester! I wonder what our bodies could actually be saying to us by this time? You know what, I will take a wild guess what they could be saying due to forcing our bodies into the harsh world we call college.

Dear whomever this body belongs to,

WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan! The brain literally us told that we needed to prepare for this! Yes at this point I was telling you to not worry about it because I told you that we had more time or just that I was very sleepy. I also told you I wanted more sleep because you put me through hell so I wanted to be pampered from head to toe!

So I will take partial blame for this, but like really what did you do to me!? I was sleeping in until probably 10-12 and now I am waking up at 8 or 9!? Do you see how HORRIBLE that sounds for me? I understood for the first week because we had to jump back into it, but wait that was not the only thing you did to me! You put me through PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES that you did not prepare for me! You did not do any of that over the break! The most you probably did was go to the kitchen to make food or walk to the bathroom! I cried at you for a couple of days because you did not warn me about what was to come!

FEED ME! Did you read that correctly? Please do not just feed me junk food or the same bubbly, carbonated stuff you know won't help you through your long day! I need 3 meals a day at a MINIMUM! I don't care if you get all the food groups in or not: I just want meat or protein, and everything that gives me energy! Protein shakes sound just fine as long as it has what it needs to make it a meal and just not because it taste good in milk or water. I am your growing body no matter how much damage you have caused me so far. YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ME!

I appreciate what you have done so far, but we have until May to get through this and you need to do better!

Sincerely,

Your Body

Well I mean I am sorry body and I will try to do better! I like sleep a lot and thought that is what you wanted...I guess not! So to everyone else who is dragging in their second week, listen to what your body is telling you! We only have one and if we do not take care of it we may not one and who doesn't love their body?

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
