You may be awkward or not at all, but one thing is for sure. We've all been there. Sometimes we experience these interesting situations as college students every once in awhile or everyday. Whatever the case may be, here are some instances you may be able to relate to.

1. When you aren't sure whether or not to say hi to that acquaintance from that class you just had who you happen to be making eye contact with on the street.


Do you say hi or just keep walking? This is one of the most awkward situations to be in because there's no way to tell if they're going to respond or be genuinely confused if you are waving at them.

2. When someone takes the seat you always sit in although they aren't any "assigned" seats

You've sat there every day for the past two months. This is just a genuinely dramatic let down.


3. When someone is trying to talk to you before class, but you have headphones in and don't realize.

Sometimes we're so into the music that we can't even hear the person in front of us. The struggle isn't too real if whatever you're jamming to is well worth it.

4. When you're professor calls on you and you have absolutely no idea what is happening

There are multiple ways to get out of this situation. "I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?" We've all been there.


5. When someone asks you for the notes, but you didn't take any.

There's always those times where you honestly forget that you're in class and realize you have a blank document on your computer by the time it ends. No worries...until that person you barely know you decides to DM you on Instagram to ask for them.


6. When a member of the dining hall staff gives you the complete opposite of what you ask for

I love the dining hall staff, but this is the most awkward situation to be in. Do you go back afterwards and ask for the other thing you wanted or just walk away?


7. When you see the people you used to talk to during Orientation and don't know whether they remember you or not

This is another keep walking or take the risk to wave hi situation. Orientation friends are always an interesting thing.


8. Realizing you follow the person that's sat next to you the whole semester on Instagram without having a single conversation

Well....it was nice sitting next to you I guess? The semester may be over now, but that's ok.

9. When you think someone from your class is waving to you, but it's someone behind you

Oh...I was waving to someone else too. No big deal.


10. When you forget to press your floor on the elevator and have to wait until it goes to the top floor to get to your dorm.


I swear I actually have somewhere to be...I just forget to press the button.

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.

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.
