What to get those who go unnoticed in your life this holiday season

Holiday Gift Guide: College Edition

Procrastinating studying for finals is hard when Shondaland has shut down for its winter hiatus, your friends are actually studying, you’ve stalked yourself on Facebook back to the dark ages of middle school too many times to stomach, and you’ve already read every article that has appeared in your news feed (i.e. this one).

As you're taking your textbook out of its wrapping, it dons on you that you need to buy holiday presents! Put that book down and head to the World Wide Web of online shopping. You probably already know what to get your immediate family members (unconditional love because it’s the only thing you can afford right now), but what about the others? Here are some suggestions of what to get those who often go unnoticed this holiday season.

The professor that’s failing you: the flu or whatever illness that you got from pulling an all nighter studying for their exam

The professor that just all around sucks: a prostitute because they probably just really need to get laid.


The one who never called you back: a prepaid cell phone


The One Night Stand: regift the sweatshirt and sweatpants you stole for that walk of shame home.

The RA that wrote you up for smoking weed: a gram of weed

The person you’ve cheated off of on every test: a CPR kit because they literally resuscitated your GPA

Your shitty roommate: a makeshift wall. Something passive aggressive to let them know you regret deciding to live with them because the deafening silence isn’t enough.


The friend that always hosts the pregames: a new couch, table, chairs, speakers, carpeting, food, apartment because it’s literally all ruined and permanently smells like alcohol or vomit.


The 2 a.m. Dominos delivery guy: a hug for being the only one to satisfy your needs when all hope is lost by the end of the night.


The one you’ve been consistently hooking up with, sometimes text, and you’re unsure of where this is going: an empty box as a precursor because, let’s be real, they’re probably gonna be ghosted during winter break. Or a set of handcuffs in lieu of cuffing season. Who knows, young love is an enigma.


The friend that won’t stop talking about their new relationship: a muzzle


The friend who claims to be single by choice: a reality check


Yourself: nothing less than the best because you deserve it.

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.

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.
