11 Wonders Of The College World That Will Take Your Breath Away Like Looking At The Taj Mahal

Waking up to an email that says class is canceled definitely rivals the view of the Taj Mahal. College students dream of canceled classes, nap breaks and saving money wherever possible. These things are so incredible and few and far between, that we can easily consider them our own college world wonders.

1. Student discounts

Giphy

Free soft drink with student ID? Yes, please. Also, thank you Spotify, Hulu and Showtime for only charging me five dollars a month for your much needed uses.

2. Canceled class

Giphy

*wakes up at seven

*checks email for cancelled class

*goes back to sleep

3. No final exam

Giphy

Dear professor that does't think it's necessary to test us on everything we've supposedly learned the last four months, thank you. Sincerely, every college student.

4. Getting out of class early

Giphy

When the professor just stops talking and starts packing their things up when you still have thirty minutes of lecture left and you ask yourself if this is even real, because how could anything so great happen to you?

5. Open book exams

Giphy

Basically saying, "everyone gets an A". No complaints here.

6. Homemade meals (made by anyone, but ourselves)

Giphy

Going home and your mom makes your favorite meal for dinner because she knows all you eat is frozen pizza and day old pasta.

7. Free stuff

Giphy

You're giving away shirts just for attempting ring toss? I'll take one. Free popcorn if I sign your petition? Um, yeah sure I'll sign twice.

8. No textbook required 

Giphy

Number one, a couple hundred dollars saved. Number two, minimal reading assignments.

9. Game day

Giphy

Just a reason to wear super cute school apparel and pre game the football game all day with your besties. I'll take this perfect storm any Saturday.

10. No short answer

Giphy

This means I have a twenty-five percent chance of getting every question right. Nice.

11. Attendance not required

Giphy

You're telling me that I don't have to show up to this eight am class and I can still pass with an A? Could anything ever be greater than this?

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.
