Let me just start by saying that as college students, we all know that there are many pieces of clothing that are common on campus. You can't walk a step without spying at least one of these articles of clothing. Whether it be the frat guy accounting major who you spy sitting on the bench or the education major with the skinny jeans and cardigan, it's pretty hard to miss.

1. Sorority shirts

This is the typical sorority girl. She is obsessed with her sisters and is the girl who will use any excuse to talk about her big/little. She doesn't go one day without wearing any letters/sorority gear. She doesn't own anything else in her wardrobe that's not sorority-related. She gives rude glares to anyone else who represents a different pair of sorority letters. Most likely, her name is Jessica.

2. Skinny jeans with a cardigan

You will never see an education major without some sort of jeans and a cardigan on. As future teachers, they must always dress nice, so they might as well start preparing now. They always have a cup of coffee held carefully in their hand so they won't spill any on their brand new jeans or tote bag. You can most likely find them in the library until 2 AM with six extra cups of coffee while they scramble to write a lesson plan.

3. Vineyard Vines pocket shirt

This is Chad. He is an accounting major who also belongs to a fraternity. His daily outfits consist of Vineyard Vines pocket tees and white cargo shorts. You can find him walking to class wearing earbuds, as well as him holding a cup of coffee. On the weekends, you can find him out at the houses shotgunning his beer.

4. XL t-Shirt and Nike/Lululemon shorts

These people are most likely sorority girls who basically live on T-shirts and shorts. You can find them sitting outside with their sunglasses on at the local coffee shop in the afternoon, an iced coffee, and bagel to their side.

5. Birks

Whether they're real or not, Birks are basically worn by the majority of girls on campus. No matter the weather, these are the shoes of choice. Cold? Wear them with socks. Hot? Wear them alone. Snow? Wear them with snow boots. Cold feet at night? Wear them to bed.

6. Athletic tank top with leggings

These are the girls who basically believe that their workouts are more important than academics. You will never see them in nice clothing. They sit in the row in front of you munching on carrots in class, and they drink fruit-infused water out of their Blender Bottle. They never wear their hair down and they constantly smell like sweat.

7. Tie shirts

These are the girls who start chugging as soon as it hits 4:00 PM on a Thursday. They can't be caught dead watching Netflix and eating pizza at home on a Friday night. After all, they do have a reputation to keep.

They tell themselves that they need to stop spending money, but they find themselves at the bars every weekend blowing away that dough. They are always the first ones to get drunk. Also, a majority of their Instagram pictures are either at house parties or the bars.

8. College sweaters that represent another college

These are the individuals who CLEARLY want to transfer, but no one knows why they're still here. Their dorm/apartment/house is decked out in gear that is different from where they currently go to school. We get it, you think that your fave school is superior to this one.

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.
