It's one of the biggest decisions you make when you move into your dorm: to loft the bed or to not loft the bed? If you decided to loft, you now realize how simpler life was when you weren't five feet off the ground. Hey, non-loftees, appreciate the floor while you can!

1. You don't know where you'd be without the rollbar

Thanks for not allowing me to body-slam my carpet in the middle of the night. You're a true friend.

2. Your phone is now shattered because everything falls 10x harder when you're up that high.

I should totally sue my screen protector's company for not doing their job.

3. Making the bed is an impossible task

How am I supposed to fold that corner when my body is on top of the rest of the sheet? Is there any logical way to do this?

4. Going up and down is a circus act

Finding your footing and turning your body the right way is such a process, especially when you're not used to a lofted bed. I'm 99% sure I'm going to fall and break an ankle over here, guys.

5. Having to pee as soon as you get comfortable

I spent so much energy getting up here and now I have to go back down? Ugh.

6. Realizing you left something turned on or laying on your desk when you're half-asleep

I can sleep with the lights on, TV on, and my phone unplugged... right?

7. Why is my bed so squeaky?!


Sorry roomie, I'm both trying and failing to not wake you up.

8. Getting up in the morning is torture.

Not only am I warm and comfy, but it takes so much energy to get down from the bed. Is that 8 a.m. lecture really worth it?

9. God forbid I have anything with me...

Unless you have a shelf, there's nowhere to put your laptop or schoolwork to where you're not going to kick it off your bed and destroy it. How am I going to take my mid-Netflix naps?

10. Needing an extra-long phone charger

Unless your college allows extension cords in the dorms, more than likely you're going to be shelling out major cash for a 6-foot cord. Or your charger falls in the middle of the night and you wake u1p with a dead battery

11. Waking up in the middle of the night in a puddle of sweat.

Heat rises, so good luck trying to catch any bit of restful sleep!

12. Surprisingly, you have less room.

Yes, you and your roomie were so excited to loft your beds for that extra 2.5 feet of ground space. But sadly, you're so limited in your bed! From bumping into walls, ceilings, and just being in a twin bed in general, is it even worth it?

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
