When you move out of your parent's house, whether that be to your own apartment, dorm, or in with a friend somewhere else, you won't have everything you need. The main part of your place that you'll miss of your parents is the kitchen. Who knew that you actually needed those gadgets you got so used to at your family's house? Here are a few you'll want to pick up before you get into your new place.

1. Mixer

You mean I have to mix things by hand if I don't have one of these? It doesn't just come with the apartment?

2. Can Opener

One of those things you won't remember you need until you're halfway into making something and realize you can't open the can of tomatoes you just bought.

3. Wine Opener

You get all settled in for a wine night with the girls and then you realize you have nothing to open the bottles with. Head on over to Pinterest.

4. Pizza Cutter

When Papa John's doesn't cut your pizza well enough or you pick one up from Walmart to stick in the oven, you're going to regret not having a pizza cutter. No, a knife doesn't do the same thing.

5. Measuring Cups

You try making any recipe. There's no denying we're not as good as our parents yet at eyeballing how much a cup of milk is.

6. Waffle Maker

Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up. You won't regret it when it comes to midnight snacks.

7. Sugar Container

When you go to have your coffee, you're going to want a cute container to keep your sugar in. Putting the bag in the pantry? So not Pinterest.

8. Coffee Pot

Speaking of coffee, this thing is going to sit out on your counter pretty much all year, so spring for a pretty one.

9. Strainer

Pasta is a broke college student's best friend. But what if you don't have a strainer? You could have a pretty rough time trying to make pasta.

10. Snuggle Mug

Don't ask questions. Just order yourself one. Now. Whether it's coffee, tea, oatmeal, or a multitude of other things, it will keep your hands nice and cozy.

11. This Thing

Do I eat toast? Not really. Do I eat breakfast? Again, not really. But I need it in my life.

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.
