With School starting for me in a few weeks it can definitely be a struggle to remember the key essentials that helped you get through last year. There is no worse feeling than feeling like your missing something or forgetting something. These essential items listed below were mandatory on my list after using and needing more of last year.

1. Airborne/ Emergen-C

The two most important ingredients in any college kids essentials. This will absolutely save and or help you from getting sicks when you are living in the dorms.

2. Clorox Wipes

No doubt you will need to restock on these. Especially in dorm rooms everything gets so dusty so easily. There are also so many germs in dorms you will want to wipe down everything.

3. Air Freshners

These Glade things were a life saver. They keep your room smelling so fresh and clean. Although these will do the trick sometimes you will need that extra spray so i would also invest in the spray.

4. Dry Shampoo

This is the dry shampoo i use and it works like a charm. Hack though baby powder works just as well.

5. Stain stick.

This stain stick is the best stain remover ever. You rub it on your clothes and scrub it a little and then throw it in the dryer and almost every stain comes out right away. If you say you won't stain any of your clothes your lying.

6. Extra Storage.

At college you can never have to much storage. Most dorms do not have enough room for everything you bring, and these things are definitely very handy.

7. Broom/Vacuum

A small or even handheld vacuum will come very handy. You may not realize how gross your floor gets with more than one person living in one room constantly.

8. Ramen/Easy Mac.


You may think "oh that is obvious," but seriously when you get home late or are sick it really hits the spot.

9. Microwave Safe Bowl.

When you want to make ramen or heat up food or the best make popcorn this will come in handy.

10. Water Bottle.

A water bottle is very important especially this one. Swell bottles keeps your drink cold all day which makes this one even better.

11. Command Strips.

These will hang anything and will keep from damaging any walls. These will need to be repurchased every year 100%.

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.
