The Christmas of your Senior year in college is basically your last shot at your family buying you a sh*t ton. As Seniors, though, we are planning our lives post-grad. This is the gateway to the big leagues, and this is the last chance to attempt to get other people to buy you what you need.

Practicality is key.

1. Money

Obvi, the most important. This leads to the most freedom and best chance of being able to buy what you actually need and not another stocking stuffer.

2. Left-overs to take back to school

The longer you can go without eating in the caf or cooking for yourself, the better.

3. Wool Socks

It's the small things.

4. A nice planner

A gift that'll help you maybe get your life together.

5. Gift Cards

Kind of like Money, but your relatives feel less guilty giving it to you. It'll make them feel like they put thought into your gift, but you still get what you want.

6. Sweaters to last a lifetime

Good sweaters are too expensive but paramount to a happy adult life.

7. Cotton Underwear

Honestly, just like the wool socks, it's the small things.

8. Quality Rain boots

Wellies can be super expensive, but a good pair can last a lifetime. A gift that will keep on giving.

9. Money

10. Alcohol

dRelatives know the good stuff and maybe can show you something better than Natty.

11. Netflix, HBO Go, HULU passwords

Bonus points if you just write the passwords on the card holding the money. Honestly, they don't need to even buy you your own account. Just let you use theirs.

12. A NICE winter jacket

No more “drunk jackets” that can just be left at a frat house, I am stocking up for a real life with hopefully enough money for coat checks at the club.

13. Starbucks gift cards

I won't feel so guilty for buying expensive coffee if it’s basically free

14. Money

"Got money on the mind, and my mind on the money"

So quick share your list with your fam, so they don't continue to think you're a child and buy you something silly.

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.

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.
