5 Things Not To Forget When Moving To College

College is just around the corner, and as your start packing your bags here's a few things you shouldn't forget before the big move.

1. Command Strips

Almost every college I've heard of doesn't allow holes in the walls. That includes thumb tacks, screws, and even the occasional out-of-rage punch. Therefore, the beauty of Command Strips comes into play. They can honestly hold up anything, pictures, electrical cords, you name it.


2. Hangers

Trust me on this one, don't think you'll bring too many hangers, because you won't. Hangers disappear like lint under the couch, and they're basically worth gold in the college world.


3. Pictures

Memories are forever, and they hold a special place in everyones heart. When you're having a rough day, it can easily be mended by looking at your dog from back home or a picture of your friends.


4. Hand Sanitizer

This baby cleans off everything. Germs, marker stains and even furniture. I know my roommate and I cleaned our floor with hand sanitizer and it worked like a charm.


5. Your Parents

Let's be honest, college is expensive. If you're fortunate enough to have a support financial system pushing you through school you can't forget them. Make sure to thank them for all their love, kindness and in addition money.

I love you guys so so much, thank you for everything!

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.

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.
