Drastic times call for drastic measures.

10 Things You Thought You Would Never Do In College

1. Business Casual

Who would have thought lounge wear, aka pajamas were trendy in college? Not only is this fashion statement appropriate for lecture, but it’s functional for daily use as well. The library, the grocery store, the mom and pop restaurant down the street, the club....you name it, and it works.

2. Calling Campus Security For Pathetic Events

You pay for these amenities, why not use them? You never know when you may need assistance- Security is on call to protect your well-being, right? The next time you find a creepy crawly while exfoliating at 3 am, save yourself the emotional trauma and grab professional help ASAP.

3. Mooching Munchies

Don't feel shameful scalping leftovers from your second cousins, friend. Food is expensive and life is hard coping with Whole Foods taste on a Walmart budget.

4. Campus Wide Napping

The midday crash is real. Instead of attempting to nap as your roommate precariously makes unwanted noise, head down to the library for a snooze. It's quiet, there is usually comfortable seating and it will you save you money as you won’t need to buy that latte you thought about at 3 pm. Maybe you will even become smarter sleeping next to the books- Is knowledge diffusible by osmosis?

5. Delinquent Decor

Yes, I'm referring to stealing spoons, forks, knives, etc. from the cafeteria to furnish your apartment. Don’t deny it, we all know you were never planning to return the plastic cup. This also includes the plastic silverware sets with napkins in the campus coffee shop.

6. Resourceful Domestic Science


There should be a universal contest for the most creative ways to prepare food while living in a dorm. Top Ramen in the coffee pot, pizza on the iron, this is not the path less traveled. Creativity is imperative for the heinous realities of dorm living.

7. Not Sleeping For Two Days

The worst college reality you will ever face. I’m willing to proclaim, finals are simply a university social experiment to drive you to madness.

8. Driving Your A** to Class

Sometimes, a 10 minute walk at 8 am is an absolute no.

9. Broke Bottom Feeder

A mentioned previously, food is expensive. Ordering appetizers as a main course in a restaurant is perfectly fine. Save the couple bucks and settle on half the quesadilla.

10. Setting Alarms for No Good Reason

Sometimes you forget to eat, go to sleep or water your plants. Miscellaneous alarms throughout the day should remind you of your responsibilities. Don't judge, it's a form of time management.

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.
