A List Of The Weirdest Things I've Done In College
Miranda Hemsworth

College is a great time for learning and finding out who you are. Many people use their four years in school to become active in organizations and clubs. Some just have a good time. I like to believe I'm healthy medium between all these. Before you go to school, you read articles telling you about how to love living with a roommate or spice up ramen. But no one talks about the weird stuff that happens to you once you and your peers find all this new found freedom.

1. Sat on a King size bed and ate Jell-O shots until I blacked out. What was the occasion? Death of a Bachelor was released.

2. Woke up in a bedroom that had a machete stuck in the wall.

3. Kept Halloween decorations up the entire time I lived in a house.

4. Made "sangria" that actually was just 7 bottles of $3 wine poured together in a pitcher with fruit. And then we proceeded to drink it out of the empty wine bottles instead of glasses. This then became our house drink.

5. Drove an hour and a half to the neighboring state with my best friend just to find an ice skating rink.

6. Drove thirteen hours with some of my sorority sisters to Iowa to see Bernie Sanders. We planned the whole trip in a matter of 5-6 hours.

7. On the Iowa trip, I got a selfie with Ezra Koenig, the lead singer of Vampire Weekend.

8. In order to chase out the party straggler's in my house, I played Rebecca Black's song Friday through the speakers.

9. The waiters at Applebee's add us on snapchat and expect us at the same time every week.

10. Bought a gecko as a pet because an upperclassmen had one, and I wanted to be cool.

11. The cafeteria's hot water went out so they served all the food on Styrofoam plates.

12. Went to the Amtrak station in a neighboring town, told people I was hopping on a train to Rhode Island.

We also stole a saw horse on the trip for no reason. Then proceeded to tell people that we brought a horse back from Rhode Island.

13. Took ski lessons as a college credit. And then twisted my knee and had to be dragged down the mountain in a tarp by ski patrol.

14. Swam in a truck pool. On multiple occasions.

15. Stole fancy cheese from Wal-Mart because I didn't want to pay $8 for gouda, but I wanted the wine & cheese party to be a success.

16. Made people shots of bottom shelf vodka and hot sauce.

When I took the shot, I ended up throwing up blood.

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.
