The Holiday season is upon us! Snow is beginning to fall and finals are on their way. Add some cheer to your dorm room with some holiday décor! Here's seven ways to get festive!

1. A Christmas carol turned finals funny

Just remind yourself that after finals you get a whole month off! You can do it!

2. Stockings

My suitemate made these adoorable (pun intended) stockings for our door! And she added the trees above too!

3. Window/glass gel clings

These little guys are awesome! Not only are they reusable but you can put them on windows or your mirrors like we did! Target has some for only a dollar!

4. Wrapping paper

Time to bust out the wrapping paper! You'll need it to wrap those awesome gifts you got for your friends so why not put the extra to use! Wrap your door with it and make it look like your door is a giant present!

5. Get crafty!

Now if you'll really creative, art major perhaps?? You could get crafty! I've seen some rad holiday doors, like reindeer stables or this snowman!

6. Add a tree!

If you have a little tree at home, bring it up! It's small enough to fit in your dorm and can make it feel a little like home while you study for finals and wait for break!

7. Christmas lights

If you don't already have lights around your room, now's the perfect time to hang them up! My roommate and I have white lights up and they're perfect for a seasonal mood and awesome when we want a little light through the night

If all else fails, waste some time on Pinterest. I know you already do ;) Happy Holidays!

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.
