Common day struggles for residents

Living on campus can be an amazing adventure. While dorm life has its complications, you wouldn't trade it for the world. College life is awesome; even if that means living in a tiny new space. The semester is now in swing but here is what you've found.

1. You Put Off Showering

You seriously start to question how important a shower actually is. Community showers are way too much of a hassle. Between the bathrooms completely flooding and nowhere to shave your legs it just is not that fun.

2. You Want To Leave Campus All Of The Time

When you live, sleep, eat and breathe at your SCHOOL, you tend to want to leave. I will jump to leave campus anytime I can because I'm always in a mile radius in this town.

3. Elevators Get Stuck

It's inevitable that the elevators are going to get stuck. Between the hundreds of people that may live in one building someone is bound to overload it. They will mess up and you will learn to take the stairs.

4. If You're In Bed, There's No Getting Up

If you live in a dorm, you make sure you go to the bathroom before you actually get in bed. Once you've gotten in bed it's almost impossible to get the energy to walk down the hallway.

5. You Run Out Of Space

There is no room for anything! If you are not the most organized person in the world your room looks like complete trash. There's no way to space out the clutter and there's no room for new items. Forget buying anything at Target because you have no home for it.

6. Your Internet Connection Is Nonexistent

What is internet? There are always problems with the wifi connections in dorm rooms. So many people try to use it at one time that even when you have it it isn't great. You might as well take all of your homework to the library because there's no need in trying the internet in your room.

7. There's No Room For Friends

I think it's funny when someone talks about hanging out in my room. There's a bed and one chair. You can have a seat on this nice tile floor if you would like! Dorm rooms are tiny and are not made for socializing.

8. Laundry Is Impossible

Sharing washers and dryers with a whole floor is a test of patience. People forget their laundry all of the time making it impossible for you to start your load. But after all, you can't really get mad because you, too, have fallen asleep while doing laundry.

9. Everyone In Your Hallway Has Seen You Ugly

God bless the girls I see in the morning on my way to brush my teeth. After just sleeping in a terribly messy bun I probably look like a disgrace. We all have to learn that there is more to a neighbor than what you see in the morning.

10. There's No Room For Food

WHERE IS ALL OF MY FOOD SUPPOSED TO GO? There's no room for my Lunchables and Pizza Rolls. Mini fridges were not made for hungry college kids. Send help.

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.

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.
