5 Perks of Having A Snowday In College

Snow days have always been magical to me. You wake up at 6:00am all groggy and sleepy to get ready for school and you get that glorious phone call on your home phone. You hear your parents answer the phone in their sleepy Monday morning voices and the automated sound of the Gods come through your telephone.


"The _____ Public Schools are closed Today, February __,2017.



You proceed to dance around your kitchen in your fleecy Disney pajamas, make some hot chocolate, freak out at how pretty it is, and proceed to walk back towards your bed.

Only after you take a cute snap with the iconic temperature filter.




But when you're not in high school and you're surrounded by your best friends in college, University's close and you have no classes for the entire day.

You look outside your dorm room and see the resident lot covered to the brim in snow as well as the roads and branches 100% decorated in glittery white.


You look to your room mate, and realize how hype the rest of the day is going to be.

You can't wait to:

1. Grab your bin top and sled down the hill of your campus.


2. Hike up to the cafe with your best friends and try to not entirely wipe out.


3. Get hella creative with food and recipes and suddenly turn into gourmet chefs and make so many different crazy foods for the rest of the day.



4. Obvious Netflix binge


5. Board games all DAY.



It feels like a mini vacation from the craziness that is college life. So, while winter sucks. Enjoy those cancellations with your roommates and university buds!

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.
