8 Things A College Girl Can't Live Without
Sara Jane Bowers

College brings in so many new elements to a girl's daily life. From not being able to have an iron in your dorm, to having way less time to get ready and so many events scheduled you have to buy the biggest planner that they sell. But college girls can't live without these things–well, at least my friends and I can't. Maybe you can relate.

1. Dry shampoo.

It literally works miracles. Trust me when I say you will need to wash your hair but have only like 10 minutes to get ready in the morning or before you head out. And you would much rather spend that time on getting your face on fleek or shaving those legs real quick. Dry shampoo literally takes like three minutes max and is so, so great. Trust me. Your new best find is at Ulta, or sometimes I find it at TJ MAXX for like $5.

2. Rainboots.

That walk to class in the pouring rain really dampens your day (lol). But some rain boots will really make it not as bad. If you don't believe me, wait until it rains and you'll understand.

3. A good relationship with your local barista.

When you're running late to class but have to have your morning pick me up, it's good to see someone who will know your order and that if you're running, it means you need it in half the time.

4. Mexican food.

Chips and salsa should be its own food group. Seriously. It's kinda cheap and the service is super fast.

5. Fried Chicken Wednesday.

It's the best day of the week, hands down. The day everyone is eating in the dining hall because of it.

6 Portable charger.

For when your phone isn't going to make it throughout the day and you need a little back up juice to help get you through. These are super cheap and you can find them almost anywhere!

7. Go-to shoes.

A pair of shoes that are super comfy and you will probably wear every day. This is more in general but if you don't have a pair of these by now, you should get some!

8. Friends.

Make some friends! That seems like it doesn't need explaining, but these really will be the best days of your life and having friends there by your side is a necessity.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
