Welcome to the good life.

1. Find out where your classes are before the first day of school.

By doing this it will help you get used to the college campus so you don't get lost trying to find stuff on the first day.

It also helps you figure out where the important stuff like where CFA is.

2. Do not stay locked up in your dorm room.

Yes it is really cute but, how are you supposed to make friends and meet new people if you stay locked up in your dorm room all the time. Go out, go eat, go meet new people, you'll thank me later.

3. Do not lose your student ID.

Believe it or not, you will not be able to do much without a student ID. That is how you swipe into the gym, check out at the library, eat, go into your dorm room. If you lose it you're pretty much done until you get another one.

4. Make sure you have everything for your classes.

On the first day you don't have to have everything but something to write little notes down on is ideal. The first day mainly entails the syllabus and going over what the class is gonna cover.

5. Make sure you set alarms for your classes!

Okay seriously waking up and being late on the first day of classes that is not good at all. Your professor will always remember you as the person that came in late... that is not the first impression you want to give.

6. Don't overload yourself with activities before classes even start.

I would highly recommend going to the club fair but don't overload yourself with clubs and extracricuulars before you know roughly how much homework you're going to have.

Do not buy your textbooks early.

You never know If you are going to stay in the same classes you signed up for, so I would highly recommend not buying your text books early.

8. Don't stay out late if you have 8ams.

I did this a couple of times and could hardly function the next day. So I would highly recommend not to do that.

9. Go eat out with your friends.

Go to one of the best restaurants in town and bring your friends with you.

10. For the love of God get along with your roommate.

Your freshmen experience will definitely not be fun at all if you don't get along with your roommate. You won't even be in your dorm that much just make sure you get along with them.

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.
