Things To Do In College Without Being Under The Influence

For college students, there is a huge peer pressure to go out and party, especially on the weekends. These pressures come from the people you hang out with on campus or friends you have made since the beginning of the academic year. However, there are a lot of students who are uninterested in the activities that take place on the weekend in college towns. If you are one of those people, here are some things you can do without being under the influence:

1. Get dinner with some friends.

No matter what time it is, I'm sure there will be someone you can text to go to the union or order pizza and hang out with.

2. Work on homework.

You can avoid it all you want, but eventually, you'll have to do your homework at some point, might as well do it when everyone else is gone.

3. Do crafts.

Crafts are fun, and you can use them to decorate your dorm.

4. Go to Dairy Queen or your local ice cream store.

This baby loves Dairy Queen, and so do BG students. Going to get ice cream with some friends is fun and is a good way to catch up with people that you haven't seen in a while.

5. Join student organizations.

There is a club or organization for everything you could possibly be interested in on campus, take advantage of them and meet people with the same passions as you.

6. Go thrift shopping.

Goodwill is the best place to find any random item you could ever think of, and its super cheap.

7. Find something absolutely free to do.

College is the time to be broke and find stuff to do that costs little to no money. You never know that you'll find.

8. Take a nap.

Naps are free and always available, use them whenever you have the chance.

9. Have a movie night.

Movies are great, and company is even greater. Watching movies and having snacks is a great time to hang out and relax.

10. Dress up and go out to dinner with your friend or roommate.

There's never a wrong time to dress up and go out with a friend. Dressing up will give you confidence and food is always good.

11. Try out the kitchen in your dorm and eat something other than Ramen.

Ramen is cheap and always available, but give your tastebuds a break and cook something that actually has a normal flavor.

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.
