We all know the struggles associated with looking for housing. From setting your price limit to choosing roommates, the entire process is no easy task. So here's a breakdown of the housing search, as told by kittens.

1. First, you see all the houses you want, but cannot have.


Whether it's because the house is out of your price range or because another group already locked it down, there's always that house you wish you could have for your own. It's your ideal house in the perfect location and has a great layout. Kiss your dream goodbye.


2. Then you start fighting with another group who applied for the same house as you.

But you want the house and you saw it first. You feel as though it's yours already, and you don't want another group to steal the house from you. You start plotting of ways to secure the house.


3. You start thinking it might be a good idea to just live in a cardboard box.

Time to give up now. If you live in a cardboard box, you won't have to pay for utilities or deal with roommates. It's the perfect solution.


4. Or maybe you could share the cardboard box with a roommate.

The two of you would grow so much closer and bond over the experience. No, scratch that. That's a horrible idea.


5. It progresses to the point where you spend all day searching the Internet for a good house.

And your parents have to tell you to relax a little. You search Craigslist, Zillow, Facebook, whatever it will take so that you won't be homeless. But there's such a thing as trying too hard.


6. But then a new house opens up on the market, and you rush to be the first to apply.

The adrenaline kicks in and you hurry to fill out all the forms and applications to demonstrate that you would be an organized and responsible tenant to the landlords.


7. You and your roommates try to look good for the interview with the property owner.

You hope that if you dress nice enough, the landlord will think you are a great group of people who should live in his or her house. You will be nicely groomed and dressed to impress. I mean, who doesn't judge people by their appearances?


8. And you try to win the landlord over.

Free massages for a year? A platter of delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies? You do whatever it will take for that the owner gives the house to your group.


9. Then the owner lets you know that you and your group will be the new tenants.

And all you want to do his hug him or her. You can't get over how happy you are and how thankful you are to your new landlord for assuring that you wont be homeless.


10. Finally, you can be at peace.

No more stress or panic, because you have a house. Now you can sleep and relax without a worry in the world.

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.

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.
