What College Means To Me

1.) Cutting your pizza with a plastic spoon and knife because you ran out of forks.

2.) Forgetting that you're wearing shower shoes with your skinny jeans and walking into Target that way.

3.) Waiting in the Chick fil A drive through line for 30 minutes because you don't "feel" like going in.

4.) Paying a large sum of money to your local frat boy in order to hold a puppy.

5.) Wearing the same shirt two days in a row because your Monday/Wednesday/Friday class and Tuesday/Thursday class didn't see you wear it the previous day.

6.) Writing a complaint to management because it's been six months and they still haven't gotten that encrusted band aid off the shower wall.

7.) Buying a fish because you need more "decoration" (and a friend).

8.) Wondering what that smell is.

9.) Staying up researching what type of dog to get when you graduate until 3 a.m.

10.) Crying over that one emotional scene in "Fox and the Hound" until 3 a.m.

11.) Ironing your wet clothes because the dorm dryer broke at 3 a.m.

12.) Changing majors once, twice, three times, four times, and then back to three times because the fourth time was even worse than the third time.

13.) Refraining from blocking all of the girls who post a pic with their bff and say "OHEMGEE IM GONNA MISS YOU SO MUCH" over a 2-day long fall break.

14.) Sippin your tea (or Dr. Pepper, or Coke Zero, or coffee, whatever) when your roommate has some juicy gossip.

15.) Putting the $10 your grandmother gave you in a Valentine's Day card into your bank account because you have $5 left, and that extra $10 will get you through the rest of the week.

16.) Wearing a sorority t-shirt every day because that's literally the only item of clothing you have in your closet.

17.) Going back to high school football games and thinking "I didn't know they were letting 10-year-olds into hig---WAIT THAT'S A SENIOR?".

18.) Looking at old pictures of yourself on Facebook and think "Dang. I got fat."

19.) Making up super lame, invalid, horrible excuses to appeal your parking ticket.

20.) Memorizing the names of all of your favorite meme instas, but not following them because then you'll look lame and your follower to following ratio could potentially get messed up *gasp*

21.) Buying industrial-strength ant killer because apparently dorms are also homeless ant shelters and soup kitchens.

22.) Regretting that one thing you said that one time.

23.) Trying to decide if you want to spend your $18 on makeup and a microwaveable pizza, or on a nice dinner out and a birthday card for your friend.

24.) Realizing you have 4 essays due in a span of 2 weeks but not caring because you've truly had it worse and seen it all.

25.) Being assigned to watch "Pride and Prejudice Zombies" for homework and then write your opinion about it.

26.) Laying on the floor for a while because why not.

27.) Buying an oil diffuser for the room because #healthy and also NO BUT REALLY WHAT IS THAT SMELL?

28.) Getting caught belt-singing "I Dreamed A Dream" in your room when you thought no one was out in the hallway.

29.) Arriving at the prompt time of 7:20 p.m. to see the 7:30 p.m. showing of "Hidden Figures" for extra credit, but then realizing The entire student body wants extra credit and the theater only holds an audience of one hundred people and has been full since 7:00 p.m.

30.) Having to redo your entire class schedule for next year because you literally don't have enough hours in the day to take all of the classes you have down. *flips table*

31.) Literally emailing the head of maintenance because too many squirrels jumped in the fountain outside and drowned and it's super sad.

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.
