10 Things Better Than A School's Wifi

Let the college students complaining begin!

10 Things Better Than A School's Wifi

I think we have all at one point complained about the wifi any school provides its students. So a couple of nights ago I asked my friends Taylor, Michael, and Jessie what they thought was better than our school's wifi and wrote them down. Obviously its an exaggeration. Enjoy!

1. Price on cafeteria food.

Do people really want to pay $8 for a salad? Not really. But we need to do something productive in our lives. Since the internet is practically nonexistent, eating your problems away is always a good substitute. You might be able to blog it at 3 am once the wifi decides to function.

2. Waiting to print at the library.

You know that bad decision you get every once in awhile that, yes you can print something five minutes before class without a hassle? Yeah, still better than waiting for the wifi to let you see your online textbook.

3. Burning your new pants in the things they call a dryer.

Man those were the best pants that you have ever worn in your life. Unfortunately, even on low, the dryer decided to burn you just like the wifi. At least you can get new pants. The wifi just laughs at you.

4. Dropping an ice cream cone on the sidewalk.

Let's face it. You are in college and broke. You will probably pick up what remains of the ice cream and continue to eat it. When the wifi doesn't work you just sit there. Staring at your screen. For an eternity.

5. 8 am. Everyday.

Because by the time that class ends, your email might be open.

6. Being attacked by squirrels.

No lie, the squirrels are everywhere at my school and are prone to try and take food right out of your hands. But hey, at least its quick. Unlike the wifi.

7. Looking for a parking spot for 40 minutes.

Just as frustrating and likely a cause of lost friendships, but again much quicker and less agonizing then trying to download a pdf.

8. Your phone falling in the toilet.

Because in the time it takes for you fish your phone out of the toilet, put it in that trusty bag of rice, and pray it turns on...an app might update.

9. Having your roommate kick you out for sexy times.

Because when your roommate kicks you out you might be able to find some friends to share in your woes. Actually no this is equally as frustrating, don't do this to a person.

10. Watching water boil.

Yeah it might be boring to the point you might actually read a real book, but maybe you might have some kind of philosophical vision and change the world. It could happen.

BONUS: Invading Russia in the winter.

Because even in both Napoleon and Hitler failed, by the time you fail too, your download will be ready for that homework that was due two weeks ago.

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.
