The Adventures Of Apartment 127

Sitcoms, dinner, and Netflix.

The Adventures Of Apartment 127
Katelin Dorow

Living with roommates is always an adventure. Whether or not it's a good one is up for you guys to decide. For us, it's a perpetual cycle of constantly telling at each other that we'll do the dishes when we get home from class, and then being slightly pissed and also ashamed when we find that they've been done before then. For a week, I've lived with not just one, but two roommates. We're an interesting bunch with wildly different habits and personalities. I have not had a dull moment since being here.

Today was the first day that we've spent the majority of our time with one another. Some people might expect an apartment full of girls to go crazy and sing karaoke in to our wine glasses or something. Well, I hate to inform you, that's not how today went.

Instead, while one of us was off being an adult at work, the other two didn't leave their rooms for quite a while. In fact, I watched Netflix in my room, only to come out and binge watch Netflix with my roommate Katie in our living room. It was fantastic, so when our third roommate came home, she was beyond glad to join us (after a three hour nap, of course).

Then something big happened. In the TV show, not in our lives, but aren't they actually the same thing? Anyways, this couple in the show we'd been binge watching had an entire episode of will they won't they get engaged? Well, I'm happy to announce that after three seasons of tearing my heart in to shreds, yes, they are getting married.

And what I noticed was this: all three of us, all in our early twenties are slumming it in bum clothes, yelling at the screen about how he didn't propose. And then he did, in a way that none of us expected. What happened next was all of us took in a huge breath of air, clutched on to our pillows and/or blankets, and just. Held our breath. With anticipation, we listened to every sappy word that came out of the characters mouth. There might have even been one or two tears wanting to form. Then, when the main character accepted, we erupted in to a fit of slapping the arms on the armchair, squealing, or just yelling obscenities at the screen.

Either way, it was stereotypical, and none of us regret it. We had to pause Netflix in order to eat dinner, where we discussed what we had just watched over a delicious crockpot dinner. We were laughing, dancing to the instrumental 'mood music' that Katie put on her phone. We call it Family Dinner.

It's only been a week, and I'm already being serenaded by my roommates to the theme song of this show. Don't worry, friends, I'm glad to be stuck with you.

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.

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.
