Weird Habits You Pick Up In College

The college transition is one we prepare our whole lives for. Once we're all moved in we realize how different everything is, but after a while, we're so used to it we don't even realize the habits we've changed.

1. Get used to wearing shower shoes

Showering at home and having to shower in you dorm are two very different things.

2. Sharing clothes with your roommates.

At home you had nothing to wear, you'd dig something out of the end of your closet. In college, you find nothing in your closet? Ask your roommate to go through hers.

3. The necessity to order pizza after every night out.

Depending on where you're from, I'm sure you and your friends used to go on Wendy's/McDonalds drives. Now when you come back you plop yourself on your beds, take your clothes off and wait for your pizza to arrive.

4. If there's Google there's a way, If there's a Quizlet there's an A.

This is something I say to my friends all the time when they complain about Blackboard assignments. Quizlet is a gift to us. Last minute quizzes suck, especially when you haven't done the ready yet and its due at Midnight.

5. Eating the same thing in the dining hall because when you try to switch it up, you just get more disappointed.

Ever in the "anything but cafe food" mood but your stuck w cafe food? Because I know that's always me.

6. Did you have a nap today?

Taking naps (yes plural) throughout the day. Come back from class and if you have time you nap. Oh, you're done with homework? Nap. Don't wanna do homework? Nap. To be honest, just nap it out.

7. Thinking if you use your credit card you're not spending.

Not knowing where all your money went is something we can all relate to especially because online spending becomes the No. 1 way to go. This habit hurts a little more than others.

8. Either you're always in your room or you're never there.

You either become cooped up in your dorm or you avoid being locked in there.

9. Procrastinating...then CRAMMING.

Procrastinating all work for later then realizing you have a too much to do and having to cram it all in one night.

10. Doing things solely to get free things

Free food?? Catch me there. Events with free shirts? Stickers? Accessories, you name it I'll be there. Just let me know where!

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.
