Don't take my unassigned assigned seat!

Here are some of my biggest pet peeves that I have encountered while being in college. The worst part is, you can't avoid any of them.

1. When people play their music or watch videos without headphones.

You might as well be carrying a boombox!

2. When students come to class just to fuck around on their laptops or phone.

We all have those days where we do that, but some students do it every class for the entire class. They don't even bother to pretend to take notes or even look at the professor.

3. When people talk on the phone using speakerphone.

4. When people take my unassigned assigned seat in class.

This is literally me when I walk into class and someone is in my seat. That is probably why I get to class 20 minutes early. It's not helped by the fact that I have anxiety and upsetting my routine can trigger it.

5. When people walk slowly across campus and through hallways.

Some of us have places to be.

6. When students are on the phone with their parents getting mad because they won't send them extra money.

You spoiled brats. Some of us are paying our own way and incurring more debt than you’ll ever have. Just be grateful for what you have.

7. When professors wait until the last minute to cancel class.

I could have gone home early instead of staying on campus during my break!

8. Group work.

9. When professors give us an assignment due the next day but it takes them until the end of the semester to grade it!

Just don’t assign it! I get that you have other classes to grade for but I have other classes to do work for!

10. When people come to class and eat the stinkiest food.

I get that you are hungry. I don’t mind that you bring food. But why on earth would you bring a tuna fish sandwich or something just as awful smelling?

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.
