Time really flies when your in college; probably even faster than the four years spent in high school.

Nothing really beats the satisfaction of walking across that stage and finally getting a degree. But before you take that walk, there are some things to think about leading up to graduation day. There are so many deadlines and preparation that go into the last month before it comes to an end.

From a college undergrad about to graduate in a month, here are some thoughts every soon-to-be graduate has.

1. Make sure you order your cap and gown.

2. Find out dates, times, and location of the graduation ceremony.

3. Talk to your academic adviser.

4. Make sure you have all your credits to graduate.

5. Job search.

6. Apartment hunt/living arrangements after college.

7. Are you moving back home?

8. Are you staying in your college town?

9. Relocating for a job?

10. Who are you inviting to graduation?

11. Prepare yourself for the multiple breakdowns you might have.

12. Wow, my stress level is through the roof.

13. Cry about how many books you've bought this semester but never opened.

14. Senioritis in high school is nothing compared to the last semester of college.

15. How many group projects do I have?

16. There's a cumulative final????

17. I feel like I'm just going through the motions.

18. I just want a REAL job already.

19. Try to sell miscellaneous items on your school's Facebook page for extra cash.

20. Desperately searching for an entry level job that's not asking for 3+ years of experience.

21. Mentally checked out, physically still going to class.

22. Preparing yourself for the real world.

23. Loans...how am I going to pay off all this debt?

24. Being too excited to start your career in a few months.

25. Having the countdown on your phone/in your planner.

26. Did I mention job hunting?

27. I am grateful to have been given the chance to attend college.

28. Low key really going to miss college and all the opportunities it has given me.

29. I'll never forget all the people that have made lasting impressions for a lifetime.

30. Looking back and thinking it was all worth it.

In advance, I would like to congratulate all the upcoming students for the class of 2018! We made it!

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.

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.
