6 Truths About The End Of The Semester
hercampus.com

The end of the semester is crazy. You have finals, papers and presentations that seem to go on forever. Spring break has been over for a while, but summer seems so far away. All of your schoolwork is piling up while you are running out of food, money and your sanity. All college students can relate to these true things that happen at the end of the semester.

1. You have huge dark circles under your eyes.

At this point in the semester, you have had more late nights studying than you can count. The dark circles under your eyes get darker every day, but you don't even bother to put on makeup to cover them. Soon enough, your dark circles will look like the night without a good night's sleep.

2. You are running out of everything.

You have a drop left of conditioner, you have been using your roommate’s tissues for weeks and you have very little in your fridge. You put off buying more because soon you’ll be home where your mom will have everything stocked up.

3. Your bank account is very low.

You’re starting to regret getting Starbucks every morning and ordering pizza at midnight because you don’t have any money for new summer clothes.

4. You have a lot of dirty laundry.

Your hamper is overflowing, your sheets are questionably dirty, and you’ve been wearing the same sweatshirt for a while now. You think about doing laundry, but why pay for it at school when you (your mom) can do it at home?

5. You are craving home.

Even if you love school, you are probably ready to go home at this point in the semester. You miss your family, your dog and even your annoying siblings. Your tolerance for the dining hall food is gone, and you can't wait to shower without shower shoes.

6. Your dorm room is a mess.

All of your organization is out the window, and all of the things you’ve accumulated over the semester are piling up all over the place in your tiny box of a room. It would be nice to clean up, but soon enough you will be packing everything up for the summer, so why bother?

Although the end of the semester is crazy, the nicer weather makes everyone happier and the remaining days with your friends are so much fun. We'll all miss school two weeks after summer starts anyway.

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.
