We all know that once we leave college we are sent into the real world, where the luxuries we have now will disappear. No more skipping class if you don't feel like going or having every meal prepared for you.

But for now, here are things that are only accepted on a college campus...

1. Wearing PJs to breakfast

Why waste an outfit when I'm just going to go right back to my room and get in bed again?

2. Having a gallon of coffee every hour of the day

Keeping up with the workload and keeping my stress level down, an unhealthy amount of coffee will help me get through the day.

3. Wearing workout clothes to every class

The day you see me in jeans is the day you know I will be doing laundry in the near future. I need to be comfy so I can somewhat pay attention to the lecture...

4. Alcohol being hidden all over your room

A water bottle labeled "not water" or "do not drink" can be found in every dorm, either hidden in drawers or in the backs of closets. See for yourself...

5. Not wearing shoes around your building

There is just no need for that.

6. Binge watching Netflix at all hours of the day

Once you leave college, you will rarely find yourself bored at three o'clock in the afternoon. After graduation, say goodbye to your midday binge hours.

7. Not using cash… ever

Between meal swipes and points, there's just no need to use cash. And if I ever do need something, you know the first names I call will be Mom and Dad.

8. Frequent naps

Yes, going to class takes a lot out of me. Yes, I realize it's only 1 pm. I just need to lie down for a bit.

9. Calling your parents three times a day

"Hi. I miss you. When are you visiting me? Oh, you aren't? Well, then I guess I will just need to come home."

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.
