A Word Of Advice To Freshmen From The Senior Class
Facebook

It's that time of year again. Freshmen are moving into new dorms all over the country and saying goodbye to their parents as they start the first out of four years of college. For them it's a totally new experience, but for the seniors entering their last year it feels like a distant memory.

We all packed up our cars and said goodbye to our friends for the first time a few years ago. We started this new chapter of our lives that everyone said would be the "best years of our lives." We couldn't even imagine what would come in the next few years as college became more then just a place we go to class, for some it became a home.

So right now were seeing pictures all over social media of Freshmen dorms and them saying hello to their future, while were saying goodbye to the place we've spent so much time at. We remember the first room we ever moved into, our first college roommates and most of all we remember that we are in our final year. Those memories are some of the best we will ever make and the ones that stick with us as we move on to the final chapter at school.

If there's anything we have learned that is that time goes way too fast. As you get older it seems to fly by before your eyes. At the end of the day all you have left is the memories you've made and the pictures you've taken. Oh, and that degree too.

A word to freshmen from the upperclassmen getting ready to make this last year the best, appreciate everything. Your college years will go so fast so get involved in everything you can, have a little fun and remember that time is precious right now. Do everything you want to do, and don't do the things that don't interest you. You have the most freedom you have had yet so make the best of it.

To the seniors watching the Freshmen start their new chapter when we're closing this chapter of our lives, keep the memories with you. Never forget the best parts of college, but also remember there is so much more to look forward to in life. This is just the first chapter of many. Get ready for what true adulthood has to offer.

For now we still have time to enjoy the semesters ahead from Freshmen to seniors. Lets make the 2016-2017 the best school year yet!

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.
