When you go to college you're supposed to become an adult, right? Yes, but at what cost? Sure you should become more reasonable and responsible, but that shouldn't disclude the things that are considered "childish". Here is a list of some traditions you should NEVER give up while in college.

1. Trick-or-treating

With Halloween coming up, this one was bound to be on the list. Grab some some people and go out to whatever Halloween bash is going on! You're NEVER to old for free candy.

2. Themed cookies

Maybe this is just a me thing, but every year, on multiple holidays, Pillsbury comes out with their special holiday cookies. For some reason these cookies are THE BOMB! Make sure to grab a few close friends (because you're not going to share those amazing cookies with just anyone) and bake them in the nearest oven! And yes, it is normal to eat them all in one sitting.

3. Cinnamon rolls

Maybe I just really have a thing with food and holidays...okay I DO have a thing with food and holidays, but baking cinnamon rolls in the winter is a great way to get the whole family together. Even though you'll most likely be home for the winter holidays, get your #squad together before you all leave and spend time away from each other. You'll be #squadgoals #5ever! I had to add the puns... #SorryNotSorry

4. Random dance parties

This can be a GREAT stress reliever! It's fun when you get to be silly and forget about life for a few moments. You can either reunite #squad, or you can invite your least judgmental friend over so you two can dance all of midterms away.


5. Petting puppies

This one is pretty much something nobody would ever give up because DOGS! BECAUSE...DOGS! They're adorable, awesome, and fluffy. Just be careful though, with the fluff can sometimes come allergies. I wouldn't suggest inviting multiple people with you for the sole reason of DOGS! What I meant to say was, for the sole reason of being completely selfish and keeping all the fluffy puppies to yourself. Just don't dognap. Ever.

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.
