Let’s be real. College is an amazing environment, but the difficulty of living on your own, in addition to the stress of keeping up your grades, can be overwhelming. Here are some of the most common thoughts college students have during their meltdowns.

1. "I have no friends"

You’re sitting in your dorm room on a Saturday night, aimlessly searching through Facebook and Snapchat stories. It seems like everybody else is living the college experience, having a grand old time without you. Cue meltdown.


2. "I'm gaining so much weight"


It’s currently 3 AM, and you’re on your third bowl of instant ramen (you might be more MSG than human at that point). You had ice cream for breakfast, brownies for lunch and cookies for dinner the day before. Cue meltdown.


3. "I just want good food"


Dining halls just can’t seem to get it right. Your taste buds are screaming for one, just one, mouth-watering, delectable meal. Cue meltdown.


4. "I have no money"


You have to pay club dues this week. You just got a bill form the student health center for your visit the other day. Your friend is asking you to Venmo back the money you owe them for buying you Cookout last night. You watch as the money in your bank account slowly dwindles away. Cue meltdown.


5. "My schedule is too much"


With 3 midterms, sorority activities, and your best friend’s birthday coming up, there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day to get everything done. Cue meltdown.


6. "Is 1 hour of sleep enough?"


There is no such thing as sleep.


7. "What am I doing with my life?"


You thought you had it all figured out. You’re going to major in Computer Science, get a once-in-a-lifetime internship over the summer, and get an amazing job offer right out of college. Except you just bombed two of your Computer Science classes, and now your GPA is going to tank, along with the rest of your career. Time to change majors and rethink your life. Cue meltdown.

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.
