25 Things College Students Should've Given Up For Lent
Her Campus

The question comes up every year, what do you give up for lent? There's the stereotypical desserts, coffee, or cursing, but is that really helpful on a college campus? Instead, students should consider sacrificing some of these vices that we all seem to give into more often than we like to admit.

1. Skipping your 8 a.m. class

2. Making excuses for not going to the gym

3. Showing up to class hungover

4. Not responding to your mom's 10th text today

5. Breaking Snapchat streaks

6. Taking naps that last longer than your night of sleep

7. Taking naps in places other than your bed

8. Really just taking naps in general

9. Ordering in when you're too lazy to walk to the diner

10. Wearing the same clothes on Monday and Tuesday hoping you don't see the same people

11. Starting your paper the night before it's due

12. Posting 20 pictures on your Snapchat story every single time you go out

13. Watching videos of puppies instead of taking notes during class

14. Drinking more than 4 cups of coffee a day

15. Walking slower than a snail in between classes cause you're on your phone

16. Hitting the snooze button more than once

17. Leaving your laundry in the dryer for hours after it's done

18. Responding to a text 3 days later

19. Agreeing to take that "one last shot"

20. Taking the elevator when you live on the second floor

21. Letting your phone get to 3% before deciding to find a charger

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.

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.
