It often doesn't take much.

10 Little Things That Make A College Student's Day

If you’re having a rough week with classes and non-stop activities, sometimes the littlest things can really boost your morale. The tougher the week, the smaller the thing needs to be to cheer you up. See how many of these morale boosters you can relate to.

Class Gets Cancelled Or Ends Early

Bonus points if this happens on a Monday or Friday – those are the days you always wish were shorter.

The Dining Hall Has Your Favorite Meal

The dining hall has its benefits – you don’t have to cook, food is available throughout the day for you to consume as you please, you can eat as much as you want. For all of those benefits, most students become weary of the dining hall food at some point in their college career. When you go to the dining hall and they happen to have your favorite meal or dessert, your day is instantly better.

Someone Compliments You

You feel like crap because you stayed up until 4:00 a.m. finishing a research paper and studying for a test, but when someone compliments you – BAM! Instant morale booster (even quicker than making ramen).

A Professor Pushing Back A Due Date

You’re thinking about all of the schoolwork you have to do this week when the professor tells the class they are pushing the due date for the paper back to next week. Day. Made.

Getting A Good Parking Spot

Every college campus has its parking problems. Students just never feel like they are parked close enough to where they are trying to go. When you get a spot closer than you ever imagined, it’s impossible to have a bad day.

Free Food

College students love food and college students love free stuff. Double win.

Seeing Someone You Haven’t Seen In A While

No matter how small your campus is, you’ll go weeks and months without seeing people that you used to see every day. When you randomly see one of these people, it’s a mini reunion.

Taking A Nap

This one is debatable depending on how you feel when you wake up, but few things are better than taking a nap when you really need it.

Petting A Puppy

Unless you’re terribly allergic, there should be no question in your mind about this one. If you really want to go all-out, go to Petland (or another store) and pet more than one puppy in one sitting. You’ll forget all of your problems and stress.

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.
