Initially, one would assume that choosing roommates is a simple feat: find someone you like and sign a lease with them. If you've actually had roommates, you're probably laughing right now because everyone wishes it was that easy. You either realize that you've made the best possible decision or spend 12 months trying to keep from snapping on them every five seconds. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the best and worst things a roommate can do!!

Make: Your roommate(s) clean up after themselves, do their own dishes, and even help up cleaning with all chores around the apartment/dorm room.

Break: Never helps cleaning, their dishes just sit in the sink, and you end up cleaning the whole apartment by yourself, taking time out of your day.

Make: When an issue does come up, you have a little roomie meeting and decide how you want to resolve it. You each compromise and walk away happy.

Break: Rather than issues being confronted, they're subtly hinted on social media platforms. Then, when you see one another in person, or if asked, she will never actually answer what exactly was meant by her shady post.

Make: You have fun nights (planned or unplanned) where you drink, have dinner, or watch movies. They sometimes don't happen as often as you'd like because life has a way of preventing that, but the fact that they do bring the dun stereotype of roommates to life in the best way.

Break: You only see your roommate when she comes to grab something she needs for while she's at her boyfriends or with her friends, who you never get an invite to hang out with.



Make: You can leave your stuff in the common area without a care in the world because your roommate and her friends are as trustworthy as they come.

Break:Your room is littered with things that would look loads better in the living room, but you can't seem to risk putting around your clepto roommate or her sketchy friends.




Make: Your roommate makes sure you don't need to throw laundry in before hogging the washer and dryer.

Break: You haven't done laundry in a couple days, but now you've found the chance. But, it just so happens your roommate made sure to not even bother asking you if you needed it, and just went ahead and did it anyway.


Make: You know which food is yours and which isn't because you have a brain.

Break: You bake cookies for work the next morning, but upon waking, they have disappeared. Nothing is safe. Time to make your closet a pantry and invest in a mini fridge.


Make: Problems are easily resolved. Their pet has an accident? No biggie, you clean it and let them know later, just so it doesn't seep into the carpet anymore.

Break: Petty gestures are the form of problem solving most often used. "I'm just going to leave because your pet had an accident in front of the washer and I needed to do laundry."

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
