10 Things That All College Sophomores Need To Remember
We Heart It

Sophomore year is known as one of the most fun years of college, you are no longer a freshman and but you still have so much time until the real world comes along. But, we still all get stressed and have things to worry about. Our classes have gotten harder than they were freshman year, and sometimes we just don't know what to do.

1. If you don't do well on a test, try to not worry!


This sounds like something you would tell a freshman, but even though our classes are getting harder and more important for our major, you need to remember that you have rest of the semester to make up for it. The key is stay relaxed and you will be fine.

2. You can survive the sophomore slump.

It's not a myth and it affects all of us at one point or another. You are not alone. Remember that.

3. It's okay to cry.

And you can cry about whatever you want. Doesn't have to be about being homesick, the amount of homework you have, or what you got on your exam. It's okay. Let it out.

4. Stay positive.


It's OK to be sad but it's also so important to try and stay positive about everything that is happening! Otherwise, you will waste a great year of school being sad.

5. We aren't upperclassmen.

We aren't the bottom of the heap anymore but we also aren't at the top of the world. Stay patient.

6. It's okay to eat what you want.


If this is your last year on campus before moving off campus into a house or you're moving into an apartment where you have to make your own food, enjoy the dining halls now. Because next year you'll probably be having a 2 a.m. craving for some chicken tenders and fries.

7. But also, go to the gym!

It's also important to stay healthy so you can keep up with what you eat! Healthy lifestyle equals healthy thoughts.

8. Enjoy the moments with your friends.


Again, if you are moving off campus a lot of your friends may not be living right next to you anymore, so even though you'll still see them next year, enjoy having them right there!

9. Go out!


It's okay to stress about school but it is also important to give yourself a break! Go out, have fun and make some poor decisions! It's all part of the college experience.

10. Don't worry, you still have plenty of time.


I know what you're thinking: "Oh my god, it's halfway over, we are so close to graduating." I know it is a scary thought but you still have two more great years to make even more great memories.

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.
