While this list may vary slightly from campus to campus, there generally are 6 generic types of people you encounter during your first week at school, whether it is your first year at the school of you’ve been there for a while already.

1. The Straight-A No-nonsense Students

They have all their school supplies ready and in tow, have already purchased all their materials for their classes, and are the first ones in class. Unfailingly. You'll ususally find them in the front of the classroom, color-coded post-it notes in front of them, asking the questions no one else thinks of.

2. The Fashionistas

Always dressed to impress, these individuals never come to school looking like they just rolled out of bed. They always put in extra time and effort to look good.

3. The Athletes/Workoutaholics

These people love working out and are not ashamed of it. Even though many of them will dressed in regular t-shirt and jeans ensemble, a lot of them sport their workout clothes around campus.

4. The Social Butterfly

The outgoing ones are usually the ones who initiate conversation with a total stranger. They'll find a way to strike up conversation with whoever, and they tend to have infectious personalities, and radiate confidence and positivity. You never see this person with just one group of friends. They're everywhere with everyone.

5. The One-Timers/Temporary Friends

You know when you go to a class and you meet that one person that you strike up a pretty decent conversation with, and when you leave class you feel great, like you just made a new friend, but when you come back to that class, it's like that conversation never happened? Maybe you even last through the semester, and the next semester it's like they never even existed. Yup, that's this person. It happens quite often, though most people just move on from it.

6. The Boarders

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.
