Ahhh finals time. The most stressful time of the year. Well it depends on the college student. While there are lists about finals, this is not one. While you are studying your butt off for finals, you may not have time to think about the fall semester. So here is your fall semester summed up.

1. The first week

Whether or not you are a freshman or a returning student, there is something about coming back to campus. You think that you are independent. You think that even though you live in an apartment, you got everything handled but that changes when classes start up. So buckle up, you are an adult.

2. When the assignments start piling on

It may not seem like a lot at first but it can sneak up on you. It could be when you realize you have a paper due in a couple days or an assignment due the next day. Either way, it feels like a punch to the face when you realize how much you really have to do.

3. How you felt during the election

Whether you hated Trump, Clinton or hated politics generally, you felt like growling or screaming. This election cycle was a tough one. With so much hate on both sides, it was hard to have a calm and rational discussion about politics. We can at least say it's over.

4. When you got a good grade on that assignment/test/quiz/etc you thought you failed.

We have all experienced this. There is nothing like the feeling of euphoria of seeing that A or B on that paper. We feel like a higher power has given us a second chance. I have had this feeling personally. I had to blink severally times and had a friend pinch me.

5. You should have been studying but were doing some stupid sh*t


This is something that happens all the time. It's called procrastination and it is a college student's greatest nemesis. It hits you with "Oh I have plenty of time to do that" and "It won't take that long to do." But it can bite you. So beware of this next semester.

6. You and your BFF had a good night out.

This can be with your BFF back home or your one at school but you at least had one lit af night out. This could be either going out to a club or even going to the movies. Either way, you had a great time.

7. You realized how lucky you are when it comes to your squad

When it comes down to the wire, your squad is there. They are the ones that get you through the tough days and are by your side. They are there to help you through classes and drama. This semester you realized just how truly blessed you are.

8. You don't have anymore f*cks to give.

Someone who is not worth your time will ask you to give a f*ck and you will not be able to find one. You used them all up on your squad and classes. There is none left for unnecessary drama.

9. You've almost died.

This could be literally or metaphorically. The flu that always get passed around campus is one culprit. The sickness spreads so quickly, you don't your sick until it's too late. You were feeling so awful you waited for the sweet embrace of death.

10. You've been neck deep in finals and papers and felt overwhelmed.

Everyone hates this time of the school year, finals but at least it will be over shortly.

11. You are ready to start binge watching and eating.

Ahh Christmas break, you couldn't have come at a better time.

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.
