Graphic design is one of those things that everybody sees, yet many don’t notice. But as a graphic design student, you can look at a simple poster, sign or label and can only imagine how many hours of manpower rest between images. Here are 24 things all graphic design majors can agree with—ESPECIALLY our hate of Comic Sans:

1. You’re number one fear is your computer crashing and losing everything.


2. And you cringe when you see people not saving their projects on an external hard drive.

3. You have a teacher that has taught you more than all of your other professors combined.

4. And you would kiss the ground they walk on if it were socially acceptable.

5. You will low key fight someone who thinks Apple is better than PC.

6. You have spent many a night in your campus’s computer lab.

7. And have done some crazy/questionable things after hours.

8. You have a student squad that are your supporters, confidants and critics.

9. And the majority of messages you send are about what to do when you've hit a wall.

10. Once learned about the glory of Helvetica, you saw it everywhere.

11. You sometimes just download fonts for fun.

12. And you also agree that finding the font that finally brings a project together is nearly orgasmic.

13. The overuse of Comics Sans puts you on your deathbed.

14. And the price of purchasing the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite nearly put you in an early grave.

15. Your appreciation for good packaging has increased hundredfold.

16. And GREAT packaging will stop you dead in your tracks.

17. You mostly buy magazines for their layout and design inspiration.


18. And you kinda feel like an annoying hipster when your art and design tastes are a tad more “advanced” than the average Joe.

19. But sometimes you just have to speak up when someone uses Papyrus or Brush Script.

20. You most likely have a high affinity for stationary.

21. And have a few brands that you would travel to the ends of the earth for.

22. You follow graphic designers on social media the way others follow the Kardashian clan.


23. You revel in how big and badass your portfolio has gotten since your Freshman year.

24. And you have found that your work gets better as the night gets older.

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.
