10 Thoughts That Happen When You Move Into Your First House
Nadia Vanbibber

Okay, so you just going into your second or third year of college and it is finally time to move out of the dorms/apartments and into a new place that you hope to have a few years. You've been searching for forever for a house and then you finally find the perfect house for you and your friends/future roommates. Perfect right? Well, here are a few thoughts that circle your brain as you move into your first home away from your parents, off campus, and in this next part of your college career. And they rarely leave your head.

1. Do I actually have to pay these?

Paying bills call for some stressful financial moments. And unfortunately, with a new house, you have to deal with all that comes with it.

2. Are the lights and A/C off?

Because now it actually matters.

3. What's for dinner?

Leftover mac and cheese or order DP Dough—the possibilities are endless.

4. Do I need anything from Target today?

I got the important stuff yesterday, but now I cannot stop thinking about those cute decorations that were on sale.

5. Am I allowed to use this? Are my roommates going to hate me if I do?

There is a fine line between using a plate or using their toothbrush…

6. Should I clean? Or passively aggressively live in filth?

I cleaned last week.

7. Are we going out tonight?

I need to know now so I can either put on makeup or sweats.

8. Is it too late to have a boy over?

My mom would never allow this at home.

9. Where is everyone?

A common group text message between all your roommates.

10. How did I get so lucky?

I am fortunate to be living in such a cute house with my cute best friends.

Although all of these thoughts seem pretty odd and can at times be stressful, you are fortunate to not be dealing with all on your own. Just realize that you are working your way up to the real life adulting part of life. So it could be worse, you know?

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.
