Roommates. We've all had them, good, bad, and otherwise, so it can start to feel as if the perfect roommate will never come along. Then, like fate, one day you meet someone who doesn't snore, isn't too messy, but isn't a clean freak, and wears the same size shoes as you. For all of you still looking, here are some helpful tips to know if you've found "the one".

1. They join in on your shenanigans.

Most of the best memories from college start as dumb ideas, so it's important to find someone who will encourage your ridiculous side...to a point.

2. They jump for joy when they see you at the end of a long day.

And they send you a string of emojis when you say you're on your way home.

3. They tolerate your affection, even if they don't like it.

Maybe you like to cuddle and they don't, but that doesn't stop you from trying.

4. They go to great lengths to make you laugh.

If you're feeling down for any reason, you can count on them to hit you up with an ugly selfie or funny meme to help you get your groove back.

5. They'll step in if you need them, regardless of the circumstance.

If you need them to pretend to be your long lost sister who you have recently reconnected with to get out of something last minute or pretend to have a crisis so you can leave a date midway, they've got your back.

6. They're always in sync with you.

You can always go to them for new tv and music recomendations because you seem to like 99% of the same things.

7. They get your sense of humor, no matter how stupid.

Because depending on the day, I might have a witty, dry sense of humor full of sarcasm and intelligent comments....or I might laugh at a fart joke.

8. They understand what you mean with a look, or hand gesture.


Bonus points if they know what you're talking about based on vague adjectives, ex: "What's that movie with the guy and the bird called again?" "Oh, you mean Up?"

9. They celebrate the little moments with you, just like the big ones.

This includes but is not limited to: getting a good grade on an exam, birthdays, wearing matching socks, finally talking to a cute boy in your class, or perfecting your eyebrows.

10. They acknowledge that SO's can come and go, but roommates are forever.

"Omg, of course I love your boyfriend! But I need you to bail on him so that you can hang out with me instead."

11. They know how to snap you out of your slumps.

Whether it's getting you out of bed to make your 8 AM class or getting you out of your pajamas on a Friday night, they always combine the right amount of love and honesty.

12. They know you're joking when you say you're going to stop eating junk food.

Okay, so we should start buying Diet Dr. Pepper? Wearing yoga pants and running shoes while we eat ice cream?

But, most importantly, they're the person that you can sit in silence with for hours and still want to keep around; they see you at your best and your worst and they stay at your side.

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.
