Okay commuters, you guys know how it goes. Wake up, get ready, get your coffee in hand and start the drive to school. All is going well, radio is playing your favorite songs, coffee is just the way you like it and then bam! No parking. For those who share the struggle all week of not being able to find parking, and trying to find little ways to "make their own spots," this is for you guys! Commuters unite! Hey, maybe they'll even make us some more spots!

1. The feeling of complete dread you have when you turn into your favorite lot and see there are absolutely no spots left for you


2. When you go into a lot and see about 15 spots coned off…yeah, you’re not parking legally today at all

3. You’ve been forced to leave your car parked as ridiculously as possible and then have to come back after class to move it before you get a ticket


4. The term “popping the tag” doesn’t only refer to clothing stores

5. You have that one convenient lot that you always like to park in…but apparently so does everyone else because there is never any spots left

6. You know when classes start and begin so you can plan accordingly to meet up with the black Camry that always leave the 5th spot on the right hand side in lot J and take that spot before anybody else can

7. You know the best time to arrive on campus is about 3 hours before class starts so you can find a spot, in other words, about 7 a.m. Heck, just sleep there.

8. Your car is basically your second home because it houses all your books, chargers, clothes, food and maybe even a small animal that you have no idea where he came from - but he’s cute, so he stays

9. You’ve learned the one- way parking lots so well that when you see incoming freshman driving the wrong way and taking your spot, you can’t help but give them looks

10. You’ve learned to drive and scan for spots all over the whole parking lot without hitting anything or anybody for that matter

11. You’re quick to leave a spot when your classes are done because, you too, know the struggle of not being able to find parking for 20 minutes

12. You’ve contemplated finding a way to get a handicap pass so you can find a spot - sorry not sorry

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.
