Fall semester is right around the corner. Whether your summer involved being home, camp, a trip abroad, or an internship, we are all leaving something behind. It is hard to have such a routine for nearly three months and adjust to going back to school. But, once we leave our summer behind, we have the promise of a new school year to look forward to. Here are 10 thoughts we all have before going back up to school.

1. OMG how am I expected to do school work.

You have had a long break from a full semester of classes. It will definitely be an adjustment.

2. I'm leaving my parents again.

This thought brings mixed emotions. On one hand, you are so excited to have your freedom back. On the other hand, you know you will really miss your parents and all that they do for you.

3. Ugh, how am I ever going to leave?!

Whether you are coming from camp, a trip abroad, or wherever you spent your summer, you can't imagine leaving right now. This place has grown so comfortable for so long.

4. Tailgate season is so soon.

You have been waiting all year for this.

5. How am I going to go out?!

Going out at school takes a lot of energy. It is crazy and sweaty, and you don't know how your body will be able to handle it.

6. I'm not ready for real life.

The end of a summer marks that you are that much closer to real life. Approaching another year of school means that you have to start figuring out what your plan is.

7. New year, new me.

Before every school year starts, we all have an idea of who we want to be heading into the new year. There are always aspirations of working out, eating clean, or developing better study habits. Hopefully, we can actually follow through with these ideas this year.

8. Do I have to meet new people?

A new school year brings new people, whether they join your sorority or you have a class with them. It is time to practice your social skills and put yourself out there.

9. Okay, here we go.

Going back to school is inevitable, and you prepare the best way you can. Just make the best out of it and enjoy the year!

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.
