Being sick is never fun, but when you're at school you realize how important the little things are that you miss.

Your Own Bed

There is just some level of comfort in snuggling up in your favorite blankets in a non-college regulated bed that makes you feel at least a little better. While you still might have the same blankets and pillows from home it's just not the same as being in your own room.

Your Mom

Mother always knows best. Having your mom take care of you and be there to bring you soup and constantly check in on you is something you don't

Having Your Own Bathroom

Everyone without a doubt has their go to bathroom at home that is just far superior than any other toilet. Not to mention if you have a roommate and you share a bathroom, then you'll find yourself wishing it was communal bathrooms. Even when you find yourself in the common room bathroom we all know there is that one person who's judging how long you've been in there for.

Comfort of Being at Home

Nothing beats being in your own home when your sick. You have the comfort of knowing where everything is and being able to utilize whatever room you may need. Whether it is having numerous bathrooms to pick from or just knowing your room or tv room are only a few steps away, home is the place to be when sick.

Knowing You Have Access to What You Need

I'm sure everyone brings tissues to school and can get some DayQuil or NyQuil at their school store, but its the abundance of medicines and variety at home that's missed. We all have that one cabinet just overflowing with medicine for every possible sickness.

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.
