What College Kids Appreciate The Most When Coming Home For Winter Break

The sound of Winter break is calling our names, here's to no more school for six weeks, no more studying, no more reading pointless text book readings, and no more blowing 50 dollars at the bar every weekend and we get to relax for SIX WEEKS. Coming home after 4+ finals is probably the best early Christmas present you can receive. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our life at college we always forget to appreciate the little things when we come home such as...

Not having to listen to the music blasting up stairs 24 hours straight from our lovely frat boy roommates

...like shouldn't you be studying?

Not having to take out the garbage

What a relief !

Washing the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher


If I have to wash another dish my hand may fall off

Not having to spend 100 dollars at Wegmans every week for groceries

My bank account will be happy about this

Having a clean kitchen, living room, and bathroom

so basically living in a clean house

Cuddling with your dog every night.

EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT AND MORE

Home cooked meals and having your parents take you out to dinner


FEED ME PLEASE, I need a filet mignon

Coming home to all the holiday decorations

cause it's the most wonderful time of the year!

Getting to see all your extended family & high school friends

I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, and no I still don't know what I want to do after I graduate

Being able to watch a whole week of Netflix and not moving from your bed


Grey's Anatomy I will finish you this Winter break and become an emotional train wreck.

Binge eating all the holiday left overs

More lasagna and cookies, the better.

Having your mom do your laundry

NO MORE FOLDING CLOTHES FOR SIX WEEKS

Knocking off some of the lbs since you won't be drinking seven nights a week

Hopefully all the binge eating I do will make me skinny.

Getting the perfect amount of time to spend with you family and being pampered

Family time is the best time.


What do you appreciate the most on winter break?

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.

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.
