Just let me sleep.

Let's face it; all college students take naps. It seems like every time we get the perfect opportunity to lay down and rest for a while something happens to wake us from our slumber. I've experienced nap interruption at home and while living in the dorms, and they are both equally infuriating. I've laid out a list of both college and home annoyances that wake us from our precious beauty sleep.

At College:

1. Fire alarms- Normally they tell you when they are gonna happen, but sometimes they will surprise you, even when you're napping.

2. Roommates- They always come in at the most inappropriate time, but when your napping is the worst, especially if they bring guests.

3. Suit mates- You wouldn't think they would affect your napping schedule but they can. If they are loud talkers, play loud music or take showers right once your about to lay down, it will affect how you sleep.

4. Hallway noise- This only really affects you if you live on a busy floor, near the main lobby, or next to noise neighbors, but if they are loud and screaming, they will wake you.

5. Phones- It's like the minute you lay down and start to drift into sleep, someone texts you, the group chat blows up your phone, or your mom calls you; it's bad timing for everyone.

At Home:

1. The Vacuum- Of course, the one and only time someone is actually cleaning the house is when you are napping. Great.

2. The Kitchen- If you are like me and you have a room right near the kitchen, then you hear everything that is going on in the kitchen. Cleaning, cooking, and talking!

3. Yelling and fighting- The moment you lay down is the same moment that your siblings decide to fight, or your mom decides to give a yelling lecture to your younger brother. In the end you end up yelling at them.

4. Animals- They always want attention, even if your napping. The one time my cat decides to give me love is when I'm napping, and it's good that he loves me, but seriously I'm napping.

5. Music and movies- It's okay to watch and listen to them, but when the volume is at max there will be a problem. I'm napping!

Overall lesson to be learned; don't mess with me when I'm napping.

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.

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.
