A College Student's Life As Told By The Gilmore Girls
Bustle
"If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path toward happiness, don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; Because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a deep breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart... where your hope lives. You'll find your way again."
- Rory Gilmore


1. When class gets cancelled

I check my e-mail every morning before getting out of bed with the hope that by some miracle class is cancelled. Although I am not a huge fan of the snow, having a snow day makes my love for snow becomes so much greater.

2. Going to class looking like a hobo

Doing laundry in a dorm is close to impossible. Way too often I go down to the laundry room and find that there are no open washers and then decide that looking nice is not a necessity.

3. When you realize you watch way too much Netflix

When preparing for college I was so ready to experience new things. I was told so many times that I would go to so many crazy parties. Although I have nights I'll never forget, they are usually spent with a few close friends in my pajamas by 8:00. But there's nothing wrong with that.

4. When it's 2 a.m. and you remember that paper you haven't started yet is due at 8 a.m.

We have all forgotten about an assignment when we got a text from a friend asking how long it is. Although we easily can get done and still get a decent grade, it's never fun doing all the cramming.

5. COFFEE



I'm personally not a big coffee person, but all of my friends constantly have coffee mugs. All day long.

6. When your class is on the other side of campus

We've all registered for classes then looked at our schedule on the first day of classes and realized that we have to walk to the other side of campus for a class that we don't actually care about. Whether or not that class is actually worth going to will be the greatest contemplation of the year.

7. Needing two designated naps per day

I don't know about you, but I have a designated time for napping every day. And have found myself so worn out that I am in my pajamas by 8:00 pm most nights. Sleep is Bae.

8. When people ask you what you want to do after college

I mean, some people know exactly what they're doing after they graduate and what it is that their degree going to be used for. Then there's some of us who have no idea what we're eating for dinner that night, much less what we want to do for the rest of our lives. If you are the second person mentioned, just remember that is normal and there is no reason that you should know what you're doing. Be spontaneous.

9. When your friends want to order takeout

Whether it's pizza, Chinese, or even a McDonald's run - as long as it isn't from the dining hall I am all over that.

10. Stage one of finals week

Showing up in public looking like a hobo is okay during finals week. Everybody understands the struggle.

11. Stage two of finals week

Once realizing that there is no way to soak up any more information, food is always the best stress relief.

12. When the professor asks if anybody actually read the chapter

We have all been in class when the professor is answering his/her own questions and decides to ask if anybody read the textbook. It's a little tiring worrying about what the professor thinks, so eventually I decide to just laugh about it all.

13. When you talk to a cute boy

Some girls can talk to boys without an issue. Then there's girls like me... who not only talk to boys but make a fool out of themselves when they do. Just remember, that embarrassing yourself in front of a cute boy is necessary event to go through during your college years.

14. When you find yourself in an awkward silence

Although Sooki isn't actually a Gilmore, she nails this one spot on. If you ever find yourself sitting next to someone in class that you don't know, there's always one thing to bring up that will break the awkward silence. So thank you Trump for being helpful in at least one way.

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.

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.

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.
