From the loser in Highschool

What it's really like Coming Home During the sUMMER

Freshman year of college is over, it had its up and it had its down. If you are anything like me, you are tired of being broke all the time so you hop on getting as many jobs and hours possible for a human being bad in your small home town that you desperately avoided all year.

You get home and one thing that hits you harder than a boulder is checkin-check out back in place at home, you can't just leave at 11;30 at night or stay out till 6 am, your senior year of high school curfews and rules some have found a way back. I got extremely irritated because back home is a good 30 min from any kind of decent shopping and that is a big difference wen you can't just run places.

You miss your college friends specially the ones that live out of state, the ones that really got you are now hours and hours away. When you avoided being home all year its hard to start over again for 3 months, and make friends again. With comping back to your old high school town brings a good amount of high school drama, because you forgot that people actually care about nonsense, it gets on your nerves. Because when something is said in a small town everyone and their mom knows about it.

Dating is the most horrible thing when you in college but home for the summer, because you know this "fling" will end when your back to your 2-3 hour away school, and your "fling" back at school might be over when you get back, a lot changes in a couple months. Its just a turn off if you know that your leaving in a couple months.

You told yourself, "Ya I can work 60 hours a week" don't do that to your self, you need me time or you will cry when it gets to much, trust me slowly learning. Employers will not want to change it as fast as you would think, you need to take time and breathe and actually enjoy some of your summer, because if your from Nebraska, winter lasts forever.

You enjoy your family, but silently praying for classes to start again.

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.
