To Dry Shampoo, A Love Letter
Holly Barnett

When you're in college you really start to get a sense of who you are. You go through struggles and hardships that really shape who you are as a person. You meet friends that will be with you forever and memories that will last a lifetime (wow is that cheddar or mozzarella because it's getting cheesy). And for some people, they meet the love of their life. And ladies and gentleman we can all say that it's dry shampoo.

First and foremost, if you don't own dry shampoo, go to Target right now and get some. It is the best thing that has ever happened to this world. Forget sliced bread, we are talking clean hair, people!!!

Dear Dry Shampoo,

Without you, I would not be presentable. Not only do I look homeless on a day-to-day basis but without you, I would look homeless with oily hair. People would look at me funny but since others opinions don't matter, I would walk around campus with oily hair.

Showers are hard sometimes. You get home, you are tired and hungry, you want to watch Netflix and go to bed but wait — you can't, because your hair is oily. And that is where you, my friend, save the day.

Thank you for letting me go to sleep early some days. Whenever I have an occasion to attend, you are there for me when I oversleep my alarm and miss shower time.

You are there when I need to add volume to my hair. You are there at my lowest times, and you help pull me up. I honestly don't know what you are made of, but I know it's God's powder that he blessed this Earth with so we could be decently presentable.

You never fail me. You are always there. I love you, dry shampoo. An Oscar, Grammy, and Tony to you, my friend.

See you soon (tomorrow morning),

A struggling college student

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.
