Things Every College Student Does In The Summer

Once summer rolls around every college student takes a huge, collective sigh in relief. No more finals. No more papers. No more 8 AM classes. We’re finally free and most of us are looking to stay that way. With little responsibility and no professors or deadlines looming over our heads we’re pretty much just immobile weirdos all summer. Here are some thing all college students are guilty of doing when the summer rolls around.

  • All the Sleeping
    • I’m not talking about a good eight hour sleep cycle. No, you’ve become nothing but a hibernating myth to your family. Oh, it’s 3 in the afternoon and you still haven’t been out of bed. Does it look like you care?
  • REAL FOOD.
    • No more of that dining hall crap. You are more than happy to scarf down all of your Mom’s home cooked food.
  • What Is Exercise?
    • Back at school you had free access to the campus gym. No you’d have to, gasp, pay for your own membership. You’re a broke college student. Ten dollars a month is just not in your budget.
  • Laundry? Laundry Who?
    • Now that you’re back home you basically revert back to your high school ways and rely on your parents for everything. If your laundry comes back clean once a week and folded on your bed you don’t ask questions.
  • Fun
    • Back at school, most of us limited our fun time. Parties were always dampened by homework but now it’s all fun, all the time.

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.
