To drop out or not to drop out? That is the real question.

10 Thoughts All College Students Have
Cruz

College can be stressful, and many who are not in college don't understand the back and forth battle we college students have while attending college.

Not only is there the stress to succeed and do great things during your college career, but there is also the stress of keeping a social life, making time for your family, staying healthy, getting a good grade, being involved, and on top of that working and staying financially stable as you go to school.

I spoke with some students and came up with 10 things that cross students minds during college.

1. Why am I here


The main one is always questioning why we are in college, what is the point, and if we have made the right decision.

2. I should become a stripper; they make a lot of money


When money is tight, we college students begin to reconsider our majors and wonder if we should've taken another route. A route that is full of dancing and dollar bills.

3. Please let class be canceled


Sometimes you just need a day off, but professors don't think so.

4. I should just drop out

When it comes to those finals and you have a week of all-nighters and your brain is fried — these are the moments when you begin to wonder if it is all worth the pain.

5. I can't go out tonight I need to study

Being responsible, organized, and productive is a must in college. Otherwise, you are just going to stress yourself out later with the piles of homework you have got.

6. I'm going out tonight, screw it


But then again...college is some of the best years of your life, and you can't just study your heart out all four years. You need a break from that too.

7. I can't skip class, but I really want to



Again, responsibility is a must in college. It is a back and forth battle, not having anyone telling you to go to school. You don't want to, but you go anyway because, in the end, you are paying for all of this.

8. I need a nap

College students are around the clock tired and always feeling it. Even when we sleep eight hours and take a couple naps, it always seems like there's a never-ending feeling of tiredness.

9. Should I sleep, workout, do homework, or Netflix...


Sleep is essential, but so is homework, and catching up on your favorite show. Plus being social is hard to juggle, and no one will truly understand the struggle of a college student more than another college student

10. This was worth it

In the end, once you finish the four years, you realize that all those all-nighters and mental breakdowns MAY have been worth it in the end.

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.
