College means a lot of things. Long days of homework, followed by late nights with your friends and sleep and nutrition being kicked to the side. While the "freshmen fifteen" are inevitable for most students, not many people talk about what happens after freshmen year. After you lose your meal plan and move off-campus, resorting to eating fast food and microwaveable meals is common. You don't have enough time to do everything – classwork, homework, organizations, internships, socializing – especially not cooking gourmet meals. You may not be Gordon Ramsey, but that doesn't mean that your kitchen should be a nightmare! Here are 5 quick, easy and affordable Crock Pot/Slow Cooker recipes that every college student should try.

1. Chicken Burrito Bowls

Because taco Tuesday should be EVERY day!

2. Pulled Pork

Perfect for every football watch party and a comfy night in!

3. Mac and Cheese

A combo that we have grown up with and will continue to love for years to come!

4. Teriyaki Chicken

If you make this for your visitors, I promise, they will be in awe!

5. Steak Fajitas

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.

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.
