Worst Things About Being Home For Winter Break

Everything has its cons and pros with coming home for winter break. You do not have to do a ton of work anymore until the month after and you get to be with your close friends from home. The cons will be you get bored being home after a few weeks and things are limited to do when it's freezing cold and none your friends want to head outside. In my situation, the cons outweigh the pros and I'll get to some reasons why. When I first get home, I say hi to my family and friends, hang out with them and get back to the old times when I stayed home all the time. After Christmas, seeing my family and everything the boredom strikes and I decide I want to go back to college so I can continue pursuing my career and meeting new people. I have limited things to do when I am home and jobs are cut short because most of them are taken from other employees that were looking for one before me. The food is the best part and being with family and friends, but then it's just the same routine over and over again, without work to stress me out or teach me something new.

The knowledge you gain in college from your major is immense, but once you go home you get the break from it and have to find the motivation to learn again. The motivation when leaving home back to college in the Spring semester is detrimental and you lose a lot of that. That is another con that continues to flow, motivation is gone and same routines continued. Opportunities are not limitless, but the break flies back and you are right back at school. The only thing that may keep me to staying home is making youtube videos so I can continue pursuing my career as a YouTuber. I love the amount of love you receive when getting home, but the boredom strikes to a point, where it is like can I go back to college yet. The only problem is when college throws a lot of homework, tests, and quizzes at you, you would like to be home, but when you are home for too long you want to go back to college.

It is a difficult process that everyone goes through in life, but everyone is different from each other in their view of this. Christmas is a great holiday to spend time with your family like almost any other holiday but to me, it's just a point of time where you get bored of being home for too long. Somethings are not meant for people, but college is tough and breaks are necessary for many people. Stress is a factor that can take a toll on anyone's life drastically. Hopefully youtube continues to keep me occupied at me home often.

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.

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.
