When I was an incoming freshman, I had no idea what to pack in my bag. Now as I enter into my sophomore year, I'm determined to be more prepared than ever.

Here is a list of 10 must-have items to keep in your bag this semester that are not only cheap, but practical...

1. Mini Umbrella

I don't know about you, but I'm not trying to get soaked in a rainstorm.

2. Portable Charge

You are going to need to one of these, especially if your phone battery dies quickly.

3. Planner

I wish you luck remembering all your due dates without one of these. LOL!

4. Hand Sanitizer

The last thing you want is to be sick; especially if you are away from home.

5. Headphones

FYI: I definitely suggest listening to White Noise while studying.

6. Floss

For all those times you find yourself having food in your teeth right before a presentation...

7. Ibuprofen

I don't know about you, but I can't concentrate with a headache.

8. Gum

Studies do say that chewing gum leads to better focusing.

9. Snacks

Because who can honestly afford campus prices for the same snacks you can bring from home or even your dorm?

10. A Campus Map

Whether you want to admit it or not you will get lost at least once during the semester.

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.
