To All Of My Stressed College Homies

Stressed, depressed, and not well dressed.

It's so easy to quickly become overwhelmed in college. A failed exam, a 1,000 word paper you haven't even started, and trying to get literally every single grade up just a tad more so finals won't ruin you, just seems to fall on you all at once. You think about 15 times a day, Why did I think college was a good idea? I literally have to convince myself every morning, at approximately 7:45, college is a good idea.

I wanted to let all you sweet, little broke college kids know that you are doing amazing, along with myself. Keep pushing even when you feel like it is impossible. It's very possible, and you can do it. Just look at every successful person out there with a degree. They will tell you it is worth it, and you are very much capable of it all.

I also want to tell you, it doesn't happen in a day. Your grade may drop from an 87 to a 79 in a day, but a degree isn't accomplished in a day. Day after day, semester after semester, it will arrive. You will put on a cap and gown, and walk out of that place with a diploma in your hand, and a big, goofy smile on your face, and say to yourself, you did it.

So push a little harder, and one day you will be there, you will be the person you always wanted to be. Don't beat yourself up too much right now, because you're amazing, and above all, a broke, stressed college student. *Drops the mic*

Side note: Just a quick thank you to the professors that literally are the best. Thank you for canceling that class so that I can finish a paper. Thank you for giving us a take home exam since we all screwed up the first one. And thank you for letting me have a love/hate relationship with you. Much Love.

One more thing, inhale, exhale. Now, have a good day.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
