College. The best and the worst times. Our generation grew up watching the iconic show 'Rugrats', arguably one of the best of the 1990's and early 2000s. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica have some relatable experiences with us college kids. Here's a few:

When you're drowning in homework assignments and tests and quizzes and papers.

It seems as if your professors collaborate to see how much work they can give in one week. One week we have next to nothing due, the next we have 4 tests, 5 papers, 3 quizzes, and 7 homework assignments.

When you're delirious after hours and hours of studying.

There comes a point where you just can't study anymore. You're done. Your brain is done. And you become delirious when you just can't take anymore.

When you've had a long day and just need to eat some (or all) of the chocolate and junk food.

We all understand. Eat all the chocolate and chips you want. Some days you just need it and the pick-me-up it gives. It might not be good for my body but it sure is good for my soul.

Taking in-between-classes naps.

Even if they are 13 minute naps in between classes. Sleep is sleep, and it is very valuable as a college student.

Car jams with your friends.

Whether you are jamming to throwback songs or the latest hits, these are some of the best times as a college students. There's just something about riding in a car with your best friends singing loudly and badly. Peace up, A-Town down.

Responsibilities? What are those?

Jobs. Future careers. School work. And these are only a few of the never ending list that is only going to get longer as we get older. *insert upside down smiley face emoji*

When you've had a bad week and come home to rant to your roommates about it.

Sometimes you just need to get it all out. Sorry, roomies.

The occasional homesickness.

Living on campus is a blast, but the food gets old and sometimes you just miss your family. It's a big change going from seeing your family every day to not seeing them every day.

Having the best times with your friends.

Late-night talks, food runs, shopping, fun events, traveling, and movie nights. I wouldn't trade these or all the other fun memories for the world.

Riding with that one friend that almost kills you every time they drive.

We all have that one friend that does this, and you sit in the passenger seat or backseat looking like this.

When you hate yourself after you eat 15 cookies in 5 minutes.

They are so good at first, until you realize what you have done. Then you tell your friends to "never ever ever" let you have cookies again. It's definitely worth it sometimes.

When you go home and get to be best friends with your dog again.

It makes me so happy when I walk in the door at my house and see my dog waiting on me and so happy to see me. I would take you with me if I could, pup.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
