It feels like the worst thing in the world when you're in college and have to wake up. What's even worse? Having to go to school when it's snowing outside. Let us have a snowy day off, please. Here a few valid reasons to cancel the next time.

1. Nobody knows how to drive when you're just trying to get to class.

It's like everyone forgets how to drive and goes 15 miles under the speed limit. Then, we get traffic and everyone is late to class and you already don't want to go.

2. It's even harder to get up for that early class because it's so dreary outside.

It still looks like nighttime... and it's cold. Obviously, I should go back to sleep then.

3. You swore they were going to cancel school, but instead they hit you with only a 2-hour delay so you're bummed.

But I even did that thing from when I was a kid like flush an ice cube down the toilet and wear my PJ's backward. Ugh.

4. You didn't do the homework or assignments from last night because you thought you wouldn't have school.

Well, crap. You can't even BS an assignment when you go to a university.

5. You made a plan of how your snow day was going to go.

Whether it was to stay inside where it's warm and just watch TV and drink hot cocoa or go outside with your friends. It's disappointing either way and ruins plans.

6. You're reminded by your younger siblings how much high school was canceled when it snowed and you just want to go back to the good ol' days.

Hey, our school-work is more difficult, we should be the ones getting the day off, not you.

7. You have to go scrap off any snow or ice on your car which might make you late to class.

You're in 7 layers trying to keep warm while you're taking snow off your car going to a class that you're not very amused with in the first place.

8. When you are late to class because of weather conditions, professors do not care about your well-being.

They may or may not take off points depending on your professor, your class, their syllabus, and how strict they are on attendance. It's nice to feel loved.

9. You could've used a day off, especially because everyone is getting sick this time of year.

It feels like you've won the Olympics if you don't get sick this time of year.

10. You pretty much just space out during class because of the weather. Then, the professor decides to call on you for an answer.

Let the odds be in your favor of answering the question correctly.

11. All you want at the end of a crappy day like this is to relax, but surprise, they assign you more homework.

Really?! You're going to make us go to class and have homework when all we want to do is relax, be lazy, and sleep. C'mon.

These are all common adult things we have to deal with when going to work. So, do us this favor, and give us one more snow day to feel like a kid again and have no work before we have to go out into the "real-world."

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.
