Thoughts we Have When Walking Around Campus at Midnight
Panoramio

We all have those days where we are out and about studying into the wee hours of the morning. Walking around campus during the twilight hour is always an interesting experience because you see a side of your campus that you don't usually see: maybe a building that looks fine in daylight looking super creepy or people doing super strange things. Here are thoughts we have when walking around campus at night:

1) Should I bother leaving?

Let's be honest, it's late, you have probably been studying for hours and are exhausted, and it is now 2:30 in the morning. Is it really worth walking back to your dorm or apartment? Should you just sleep in this now super comfortable chair and go to class in the morning? Probably not.

2) Do I look like these other zombified people?

Most people who are out studying this late usually look like death because they have not gotten enough sleep. Yes, you probably look like that too, but maybe a little more hopeful because you now get to go sleep, while these other people are still here stuDYING.

3) Should I detour on the way back?

Though you felt like you were going to fallover when you left, as that first breathe of fresh, night air hits, you have all the energy in the world. Should you grab food on the way back? Is it time to visit your favorite spot on campus? Can you run around like you don't care for a little bit? Chances are, you should probably just go home, but pizza never hurt anyone.

4) WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?

Usually, campuses are comparatively empty when it's 1 or 2 am. It can be a little freaky walking around at nighttime. Did you hear a twig snap? Was that the wind? Wait, where's that music coming from? All these noises, which seem fairly normal in the daylight, can be daunting in the nighttime.

5) Did I grab my charger?

You're almost home, and you suddenly realize that in your tiredness, you might have forgotten something vital. Chances are you probably didn't, but you panic until you have completely unpacked everything from your book bag. On the off chance that you did forget something, you probably won't be walking back at night. It can wait till the morning, right?

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.
