I was blessed to have a bomb ass roommate, but others aren't as lucky. As I walk around campus, I am always hearing the many horror stories about people's roommates. So, I thought I would give all incoming Freshman or those who have never had a roommate a little heads up on the roommates to watch out for.

1. The one who is NEVER there.

Ok, this may seem great at first, but after a while, you will get annoyed with the fact that you basically have a single room with some random person's things. Plus, it gets lonely.

2. The insanely messy roommate.

This one just sucks if you want to have people over... or want to walk to your bed without stepping on a wrapper.

3. The clinger.

So, as I typed this my roommate and I just realized that this is us, but it's ok because we like each other. But if you don't like each other this one can be a killer, especially if you want some alone time.

4. The attention seeker.

So annoying.

5. The one who never leaves.

Is it too much to ask to get the room to yourself for JUST five minutes?! Apparently.

6. The drug dealer.

No, just no.

7. The one who ALWAYS has their significant other with them.

You were given not just one roommate, but two. This one really sucks if you are single and lonely.

8. The night owl.

The one who doesn't just come home late but also drunk on a Tuesday, but also eats ramen and watches Netflix all at 3:00 am just a few hours before your 8:00 am class.

9. The passive aggressive roommate.

This one will drive you up the wall.

10. The neat freak.

Might be cool at first because you don't have to clean, but trust me it will end up being insanely annoying.

Now, not all roommates suck. I have heard plenty of stories of how much people love their roommates! If you are looking for a great one, search for one of these! You won't be disappointed.

1. The best friend.

You realize that you are practically the same person after talking for the first time. It's kind of weird and creepy how many things there are in common between you two, from your music preferences to your favorite foods.

2. The clown.

Always cracking the funniest jokes.

3. The fun roommate!

The one that will drag you out of the room on a Saturday night, but also take care of you when you get back home.

4. The note-taker.

Not to be confused with the passive aggressive roommate. This is the one who leaves you cute little notes on a big exam day, or just randomly. Always a day maker.

5. The explorer.

The one who is always up for an adventure. Nothing is worse than having spare time and being stuck in the dorm room. It's so much fun to get out and take a random road trip or finding places around town that most people don’t know about.

6. The chef.

Nothing is better than not having to make your own food.

7. The roommate who puts up with your crap.

C'mon, even you know that you are annoying.

8. The non-judgemental roommate.

The one who doesn't judge you for going out or skipping your 8 am class every once in awhile.

9. The social butterfly.

This one is so great because it gets you out of the room and out into the world to make some cool friends!

10. The one you find yourself missing.

You definitely want a roommate that you find yourself missing when they go away for the weekend or when you return home from winter break.

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.
