After many semesters spent away from home, I've picked up on a few tips that all college students should follow every time they go home! You'll end up saving money and spending time with the people who really matter!


1. Get supplies!

Search your parent's house for anything you need. You'd be surprised how much better toilet paper feels when you didn't buy it yourself!



2. See everyone (especially the people who will give you money)!

Grandma. What's up, homie?


3. Go shopping!

Try to sucker your parents into... I mean ask your parents politely to take you shopping for things you may want or need back at school but don't want to spend your own money for.



4. Eat as much food as you can.

Devour as much free food as humanly possible. Who knows when you'll have the chance to eat freely again?



5. Relax.

Or chillax... Either one. Just do it while you're still homework-free!



6. Bring your dirty clothes!


In hopes that your mom misses you enough to wash them, because we all know how difficult it is for college students to do it themselves...



7. Make/go to doctor's appointments.


Make sure you're still in good shape after a very long semester!



8. Avoid talks about boyfriends by any means!

Because parents ALWAYS ask!



9. Avoid talks about how much fun you have away from home.

Because parents ALWAYS ASK... And you'd probably be going to community college if they found out.



10. Avoid questions about if you get drunk or not.

BECAUSE PARENTS ALWAYS ASK and will automatically assume that you're an alcoholic if you say yes.



11. Avoid questions about how much money you're saving.

Unless they'll give you some if you admit that you haven't saved any at all.



12. Make sure to spend enough time at home.

Don't forget to hang out with the people who make it all possible. Plus, your high school friends will likely forget about you by next semester anyway!


13. Leave before things get too boring.

The change in pace will start to kill you. Trust me.


14. Leave everything just how it was when you got home.

Your parents will be hype.

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.

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.
