17 Safe Things My Roomie And I Have Done To Have Fun At College In A Global Pandemic

#5: Communicate with each other exclusively through John Mulaney impressions.

1. Watch "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"

Here is the longest fight scene you'll ever watch in your life (but also the best, obviously).

2. Walk a total of three miles up and down The Short North for literally no reason

But we did get to take the funky photo you see at the top.

3. Spend three hours and buckets of blood, sweat, and tears trying to assemble our LED strip lights and actually get them to work

4. Try out Peace Tea, an iced tea available at the best dining location on campus, Marketplace on Neil

It is very good and we are very obsessed.

5. Communicate with each other exclusively through John Mulaney impressions

6. Host two-person dance parties while blasting AJR and setting our LED strip lights to "seven color strobe flash"

Yes, I know you were worried, but we did finally get them working.

7. Go to Target

Don't worry, our masks were on, because masks do actually help stop the spread of viral infection, in case you are one of those people out there who didn't know.

8. Buy iced coffee at the Starbucks inside Target

See the dance party listed at #6.

9. Bring bath towels out to The Oval at 11 p.m. to lay on while we try to watch Jump In with a shoddy internet connection for 30 minutes, at which point our Sloopy's orders were ready and we went back inside

10. Take a girls' trip to pick up a prescription I accidentally sent to a CVS two miles away

11. Lay in bed for hours complaining about classes starting and coping by sending each other memes

This one still makes us laugh a week after we saw it.

12. Watch "Another Cinderella Story" and laugh the most at Jane Lynch's lines, every single one of which is gold

Here is our favorite scene (just the first 27 seconds).

13. Inspire endless amounts of content for our respective Twitter feeds and private stories on Snapchat

Because I told her I would plug it: follow Sarah on Twitter at @DruhanSarah.

14. Get Jeni's Ice Cream delivered through Postmates for a total of $40

But! The delivery was free.

15. Watch "Looks That Kill," a movie about a guy who has to wear bandages around his face all the time because he is just so gosh darn handsome he kills anyone who looks his way

16. Take out our always-full garbage full of iced coffee cups, Sloopy's takeout containers, and cans upon cans of Peace Tea

Don't worry, the Peace Tea went in the recycling.

17. And throughout it all, the ups and downs, the movies and the Peace Teas, we were truly Together as Buckeyes

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.

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.
