10 Essentials College Students Can't Live Without

As any college student we are pretty hooked onto certain things that have become the normal, that most people could actually live without. But, no that is not the case for us. We're not completely adults yet, therefore, we can get a little leeway on some of the things we think we MUST have. I mean you only go college once in a life time, right? Might as well milk it.

1. Cell Phone

This is your right hand, you literally take it everywhere with you. It is the first thing that wakes you up in the morning and the last thing you see before you close your eyes at night. It is always ready for when you need to get out of boredom.

2. Coffee

Did someone say Starbucks? This is the only source of energy that can keep you up until 3 am to finish an assignment that is due the next day. Caffeine is an addiction that every college student needs in order to survive. This eventually becomes a bad habit, but hey it is the best tasting liquid.

3. Laptop

This is literally your life line second to your phone. Every college student needs their laptop in existence in order to function, but also to pass their classes. Let's face it, without our laptops functioning for us the last 4 years, we would not be able to survive.

4. Netflix

Netflix occupies a lot of our time, I mean why else would we say "no" to Friday night plans? We would rather stay in and finish up our favorite tv series until 3 am before going out sometimes or should i say most of the time.

5. Sparknotes

I swear it is every students dream when you realize your entire book is on Spark Notes. Pshh.. no more reading the entire book for us... heck we're lucky if we get through the summaries at times.

6. Wifi

When there is no internet, there is no life. You actually feel like you lost your best friend. A little panic ignites inside of you because your computer will no longer connect to the wifi.

7. Cheap Wine

We all love a girls night where we can rack up on cheap wine and chill at home. Sometimes we just buy a bottle for ourselves and pretend we have no other responsibilities due the next day. Hey.. it happens, okay?

8. Instagram

Let's face it we love refreshing our instagram every 5 seconds of the day. When we are too early for a class we scroll on Insta, When we don't want to talk to someone you recognize, we scroll on Insta. Insta is our life savior of awkward people contact.

9. Google

Google is so appreciated. We use it to Google our research topics, but we also use it to Google our cold symptoms too, which more then likely scares us enough to go see a real doctor. Regardless, Google you are the real MVP.

10. Take Out Food

When you say you're actually going to cook tonight... we all know that will be a lie by the time you reach your apartment. Let's face it, eating out has become such a daily routine for most of us in college, I don't know why we even entertain cooking.

Don't even feel bad if everything on this list relates to your current situation. We are all young and we should be enjoying every bit of our youth, even if that means developing crazy habits.

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.
