14 Things Every College Student Is Obsessed With

Everyone knows the college student stereotype: lazy, tired, broke and hungry. The stereotype is totally true and we've developed obsessions to accommodate our college lifestyle. A lot of stuff can apply to high school students, too, but you really start to see your obsessions and addictions when you're on your own having one of your weekly mental breakdowns. But if you weren't obsessed with these before college, you either are now or you will be.

1. Caffeine

How else am I supposed to make it through my 9 a.m. class? Or my 3 p.m.? Or homework?

2. Sleep

Enough said.

3. Netflix


What else am I supposed to do from 4 p.m to 2 a.m?

4. All-You-Can-Eat Buffets


One swipe into the dining hall and I get all of the food I want. I think I'm going to study in the caf today...

5. Food


9 a.m -- hungry. 12 p.m -- hungry. 12:41 p.m. -- hungry. I'm always hungry.

6. Free Stuff

The whole broke-college-student thing is legit. Free T-shirt? Yes please. Free food? Sign me up!

7. Sweatpants


Just be glad I made it to this class.

8. Snapchat

Yes, I will spend three hours watching Snapchat stories today. And yes, I'm going to say how boring this class is on my story.

9. Snow Days


I once played snow roulette for three days. And I won.

10. Naps


What comes 15 minutes before I need to leave for my next class? Nap time.

11. Their Study Spot


I better not catch someone else in my hidden corner in the lounge.

12. Procrastination

Maybe I shouldn't have spent six hours on Netflix...

13. Weekends


TGIF Where the parties at?! J.K. I'm going sleep until 3 in the afternoon.

14. Breaks


Winter break plan: Sleep for five days straight, eat all of the food in the house, don't unpack, have a panic attack the day before I go back.


Don't even act like you aren't obsessed with these. You aren't fooling anyone.

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.
