7 Things My Floormates and I Say Everyday

I may have missed a few, but these take the cake.

7 Things My Floormates and I Say Everyday
Yanan Wang

1. "What?"

Okay, I'm big on this word. I walk around school and I'll see an outfit and turn to someone and say it. Or I'll be in class and not have a clue as to what is going on, which sparks the word to fly out of my mouth or float in my head. It's a word we state in confusion and a word we use when we just weren't listening so we say it to have the other person repeat what they just said. It's an endless loop with this one word that I don't think I'll ever personally let go.

2. "Kill Myself."

This is a recent word phrase I have just picked up upon. I don't mean it in the literal sense. It's more like when I drop a pencil on the floor in class and this phrase slips out of my mouth. It's almost like a "F**k me" but more aggressive. We say it when we drop a fork on the table, we say it when we drop the ice cream from our cone, we say it for no reason what so ever. It's just a thing we say.

3. "Shivies" (Sh-i-VEES)

This isn't a real word, we know, but we say it in place of chills. "Oh, that just gave me the [chills] shivies." It's a feeling you get when you get a cold chill running up your spine, or when your walking and you see someone you hate. It originated from a good friend, Haylee Patterson, and it's been adopted into our vocabulary. It's something we have to say now instead of "the chills".

4. "When Boys/When girls..."

I never said this until I went to college and met the best person I could have. It's something our whole group says now, that originated from her. We say things like "when boys.... smile at you" and "when girls....are fake". It's a silent jab, or sometimes even dirty when the wrong person chimes in with their thoughts. It's a way of life to say this phrase now.

5. "Tits for the yobs"

Look at the last word. It's 'boys' with 'boy' spelled backward and keep the 's' where it is. We say it in times of getting ready for a night out, or when we strut down the hallway and the wrong person sees us. Or when we just look damn good. Tits out for the yobs, man.

6. "Shit"

When you stub your toe, when you almost fall down the stairs, when you're late for class, and when you've got to go to class. This word is in our daily vocabulary because of its all-purpose meaning. We could say it like, "Shit girl, you look fine." It has a great ring to it. We could yell it as we slip on ice walking to class: angry meaning. We could say it in shock, or happiness, or sadness. It's a multi-purpose word that makes the day a little more colorful.

7. "I love you"

Whether you are calling your mom, your best friend, your family member, talking to your neighbor in the dorms, or telling them you love them when they're having a bad day. It's there as a pick me up and a sign of love and trust. It's a phrase most people hang on to, it's a phrase some long to hear, but here, we say it almost every hour. It's a sign of caring and that's what it's all about up here, caring for everyone on our dorm floor.

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.
