When you come to college you will either float or sink when you make the move to an apartment from living on campus, because you'll actually have to cook for yourself for once instead of walking to a dining hall.

So here's a list of 13 things you've definitely experienced if you don't know how to cook, like, at all. The struggle is real!

1. Having fast food employees know your order just from seeing you.

2. Ordering to-go from restaurants just to eat somewhat healthy.

3. Your freezer is mostly filled with frozen meals that you cook in the microwave or the oven.

4. The microwave is your best friend in the kitchen.

5. Your pantry is stocked with all different types of pasta and pre-made sauce in a can or jar.

The pasta ranges from ramen noodles to mac n' cheese, or just plain pasta that you can mix with any sauce.

6. You send photos of meals you have cooked to your parents for appraisal.

7. You call your parents when you have questions about something you are cooking.

8. All your recipes have five or less ingredients.

9. Even with few ingredients and direction you mess up.

10. You follow many food accounts to look at amazing meals that you wish you could cook.

11. You over cook chicken all the time, even with a meat thermometer.

12. You have no patience when making a meal.

13. You buy certain foods in bulk to save money because you know you'll go through it within a month.

Don't worry, the holidays are right around the corner and you can get some homecooked meals without having to cook them for yourself.

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.

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.
