The Process (Struggle) Of Doing Laundry In College

No one likes to do it, but it has to be done — whether you have had bad luck in the past, or you’re just starting to get the hang of it now, doing laundry in college is a struggle.

1. Convincing yourself it is laundry time


2. Separating your darks and lights

3. Almost forgetting to bring detergent


4. Walking to the laundry room


5. Having people ask you, "Oh, are you doing laundry?"... like yes, how'd you guess


6. Getting to the laundry room and wondering why it smells so bad


7. Looking for (and hopefully finding) some empty washers


8. Loading your clothes into the washers and realizing how much laundry you actually have


9. Deciding whether it's worth going back to your room for the 25 minutes your clothes are washing or waiting out the 25 minutes in the laundry room

10. Moving your wet clothes into a dryer


11. Trying to occupy yourself for an hour while your clothes dry


12. Only to find that your clothes DIDN'T dry


13. Moving your still-wet clothes into a different dryer, hoping this one will work


14. And being pleasantly surprised that your clothes actually did dry this time


15. Carrying your clean, dry clothes back up to your room, realizing the agony is over

16. Getting back to your room and sorting your laundry


17. Realizing that the underwear you just folded are not yours


18. And noticing that you're missing the matches to all of your socks


19. You thought the pain was over, but laundry is still killin' your vibe


20. But, you remember that it's all over (until next time)

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
