Whether you're a PC gamer or prefer console, there are just some undeniable truths about being a gamer. This list is dedicated to the gamers of the world, guys or girls, young and old. Just as long as you're not a mobile gamer.

1. Forgetting to save after hours of progress.

There's a feeling of hopelessness followed by anger at your own stupidity after you forget to save and you quit or the game crashes.

2. Finding the right spot.


Whether you play PC or console, there's a certain way you have to sit in order to play your game comfortably.

3. The PC versus Console rivalry.

4. You find yourself speaking in gamer language.

I've found myself doing this too many times, even with simple things like 'gg.'

5. Having a girlfriend or boyfriend to play games with.

My boyfriend and I are an unstoppable team in H1Z1. There's something great about being able to kick butt alongside your significant other.

6. Video games are pieces of art.

Take, for example, "The Last of Us" (above), or "The Witcher III: Wild Hunt" (below). There are so many games out there that not only are filled with rich storytelling and gameplay, but beautiful graphics.

7. The feeling you get after pulling an all-night gaming session.

You know you're making a mistake but, somehow, you don't care.

8. Beating your siblings

Nothing is sweeter than beating the crap out of your siblings while playing your favorite game (or better yet, theirs).

9. And for the oldest kid, always being Player One.

They got the worst characters, the worst controllers and, for the littlest ones, an unplugged controller when you didn't want to have to share.

10. There will come a day when even the most even-tempered gamer will rage quit.


There comes a time in all gamers' lives where a rage quit will happen. Whether it's because you've been knifed too many times or can't get past a certain part, it will be uncontrollable and maybe a little embarrassing after the fact.

11. This undeniable logic.

12. The obsession with reloading.

And it's usually when you pretty much have a full mag.

13. Not being taken seriously if you're a girl gamer.

14. People who screen peek are the worst.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

15. Having friends who play on different platforms.

16. Wanting a battlestation like this:

17. Or this:

18. Twitch.tv is a wonderful and entertaining thing.

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.
