I grew up with a sister, so I know almost everything there is about what it’s like living with a girl. But when I came to college and started living with more than one girl and shared a bathroom and a kitchenette, things got different and I learned a lot more than I ever thought there was to know about girls.

Best friends, boyfriends, late nights, long talks, hungry spells, and of course classes in between all that. Here’s what I learned more about living with college girls and, most importantly, about me and my closest friends.

1. When we get in from a night out, literally anything is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

2. When we are trying to be quiet, we mayyyy make most of our noise by saying, “SHHH” much louder than intended.

3. There is one designated mom in every group. She takes everyone's makeup off, provides water, and makes sure everyone is home. She’s also the best mom we could ask for.

4. We try to be cleanly, so when showering, sometimes there are organized clumps of hair on the wall. Don’t ask. It’s just a thing.

5. We tend to bring a staggering amount of toiletries. By that, I mean masses and masses. Shelves, bags, and even the floor were littered with numerous bottles.

6. On the weekend, from 5 pm and on, the bathroom is exclusive and reserved until 11 pm for showering and about three hours of makeup. We all need the mirror, so watch out!

7. Girls all share clothes like one big free for all. “Have you seen my nice, black shirt?" "Oh yeah, babe, I’ve got it on rn.”

8. The night out doesn’t end when we get in. Oh, no. There are extended bathroom sessions at 5 am, talking about what happened with boys and how nice the mozzarella sticks were.

9. We get really hungry after a night out. It’s snacks galore, so if you’re still awake, you bet we’re going to raid your snack bin and probably eat everything out of it. Whoops.

10. Anything any guy says is automatically wrong. Learn to accept your fate, boys.

11. Girls spoon each other. A lot. It’s for comfort, love, and support. Get used to it, guys, because BFFs are forever.

12. We will rip apart every text a guy sends them. If you are thinking you are that special guy that this hasn’t happened to, then your girl is probably laughing at your text right now.

13. Girls sniff their armpits to see if they smell. Gotta stay fresh, ladies.

14. Every night, we give an estimated time we are all heading out. I worked it out that if I added 2.5 hours on to this suggested time, I knew what time we would actually be going out. The following will help you understand why this happens.

15. For some reason, boys' deodorant smells better. So if one of the girls has a boyfriend, expect your deodorant to be used up by your girls’ girls. Sorry, not sorry.

16. One girl in the group is usually the designated winged eyeliner applicator.

17. If you miss taking your pill two consecutive days in a row, you have fucked up your cycle. There’s always one girl to be the designated reminder/mom that helps us all out.

18. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR PRIMER ON BEFORE YOU START YOUR MAKEUP.

19. “OMG, I’m so bloated; I can’t wear this!” This is a phrase heard hourly during the evening getting-ready process. Don’t even try to argue it--just help your girl find a new, fabulous outfit that she feels fantastic in.

20. Outfit changes will happen, boys. Do yourself a favor and go to sleep. Think she is finally done because she is in her third outfit? HA.

21. Girls don’t pack until 30 minutes before they need to leave because they need half their suitcase every minute.

22. Girls have two makeup bags. One bag with all the makeup that they actually use and one that has absolutely no use of which is full of makeup never touched, but is always brought along.

23. Hair ties will be everywhere you look. Floor? Hair ties. Bed? Hair ties. Shower? Hair ties.

24. There will also be hair everywhere. It’s not our fault. Either throw it out or deal with it.

25. Wake girls up in the morning at your own peril.

These are the best things I have learned about me and my favorite girls whilst living our lives together! Comment and share your favorite memories and lessons learned about your besties.

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.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
