21 Signs You're a College Student
Dalton Campbell

College is that awkward stage where teenagers and twenty-somethings are wandering around trying to figure out how to "adult," and how to find all the loopholes they can while also taking on a new, much bigger world. The world is your oyster, but unfortunately, you'll probably go home with food poisoning.

1. You haven’t gone to the grocery store in, well, you don’t even know how long


2. And when you do go, you have the budget to afford about half a stick of butter

3. Your planner looks like the aftermath of a catastrophe- a color coded catastrophe

4. People barging into your room is something that doesn’t phase you, even though sometimes it probably should

5. You grab any and all of the free stuff you can

6. You get creative with how to bring food back- in bulk- from the dining halls/anywhere that has food

6. You feel a certain contempt for a little something called “TopHat”

7. “What’s the address?”

8. The pure bliss you feel when you get the “Class is cancelled” email

9. You weren’t a fan of public transportation? Now, you are.

10. You used to need silence to sleep? Now, you definitely don’t.

11. A lot of the times you fall asleep, it's definitely not in a bed

12. You don’t have the luxury of toilet paper with more than one, painfully thin ply

13. Your laundry pile is really more of a questionably large mountain

14. You've seen pretty much everything that Netflix has to offer

15. Home cooked meals are a thing of dreams

16. You’ve never been busier, yet you still agree to going out

17. Even though the studying never ends

18. And you've never been more broke

19. You know how to finish an assignment in record breaking time, on a book you never read, the night before it’s due, and get a good grade

20. Calling your parents has become a daily norm

21. You also have huge amounts of pride for your school and all the craziness that comes with it, regardless of all its challenges

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.

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.
