Before all the rivals and the Stony Brook naysayers get ahead of themselves, Stony Brook is an awesome school. We have some great sports teams, plenty of study spots and the best parties. With that being said, no college is perfect. Here are ten annoying things about Stony Brook University that I won't be looking forward to this fall.

1. The food is too expensive.

I don't care if it's a college custom, charging six bucks for a tiny cup of fruit is criminal.


2. Our "tobacco free" campus indeed contains plenty of tobacco.

On the bright side, smokers can save on buying cigarettes by hanging out behind the Melville Library and breathing in the air.

3. Stretching over multiple zip codes is over rated.

That twenty-minute troop from your dorm to the other side of campus is always a reminder of this.


4. The fact that not every quad has air conditioning is annoying.

Stony Brook golden rule: if you don't live in Yang or West Apartments you're a peasant.


5. The squeaky chairs in Javits Lecture Hall.

There's no such thing as sitting through a lecture in Javits Lecture Hall without the chairs squeaking every two minutes.


6. And lord, the bees!

Having a beautiful school with lots of scenery and flowers is great and all until your late for class a fifth time because you got in a fight with a bee.


7. That uninviting smell of manure whilst strolling the academic mall.

You know the weather is still great on campus when everywhere there's flowers planted it smells like a goat farm.


8. Trying to get from one side of the Staller Steps to the other is quite the maze.

I love that nice weather makes our campus more social and active BUT if ya'll could stop throwing a frisbee for two seconds while I get buy please and thank you.


9. When it's 12 AM, you're hungry, and your only options are Starbucks and Dominos.

Can we get some late night food options on campus so we don't have to drive to the end of the world for it?


10. Trying to find an open study room in the library be like...

Those things are always occupied, literally always.

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.
