College is a fun time. You are finally an adult and free to do what you want. With this new found freedom, comes some weird habits we have adapted that other people don't find normal. Here's some things that are only acceptable if you are a college student...

1. Sleeping until 1pm daily

In fact, when you wake up before 10 or 11 people question why you are awake so "early".

2. Wearing sweatpants every day of the week

Why waste jeans for an hour class? Sweatpants allow the comfort you'll need to trudge across campus in all weather and then sit and semi listen in class.

3. Watching 10 or more Netflix episodes in a day

It's just so hard to turn it off once you've began. You just need to watch one more episode to find out what happens, just one more...

4. Eating breakfast at 1pm and dinner at 10pm

No college student eats dinner at 6pm or breakfast at 9am. We sleep late and have classes at dinner time.

5. Drinking on weekdays is the norm

Everyone knows that the bars are less crowded on weekdays. You and your friend have off classes on Monday night so hit the bar for a few drinks!

6. Laying in your bed all day, only to leave when you need food

No one will think it's weird either. It's become a part of life. A nice part of life.

7. Submitting papers at 11:58pm when they are due at 11:59pm

I'll admit there's been times I submitted papers early, but only because I thought they were due ready and I was actually late.

8. Sleeping anywhere at any time of the day

You know those kids who sleep on the couches in the library? They are all of our spirit animal. Everyone loves to sleep. Anywhere.

9. Showering once every three days

Does anyone really take a shower daily? Maybe they do. Maybe it's just me.

10. Eating out multiple times a week

It isn't always in the plan, but how can you turn down a call from a friend to grab sushi or wings? It just so happens your friends ask you to get food together more than once a week.

11. Having no money but spending majority of your paycheck on food

We all complain that we are poor and then spend our lunch breaks at Chick-fil-a and Taco Bell. I'm guilty. I know you are.

12. Crying and having breakdowns more than once a week

It's perfectly normal to see people crying around campus or having a breakdown on social media. It occurs daily.

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.
