10 Struggles of College Life
Pintrest

Everyone has those days when literally nothing goes right. Those days when you're sitting there thinking, what else can I get punched in the face with today huh?

Well I don't know about you guys, but I personally have moments when I feel like that pretty much everyday. It's not because I deserve it or because anyone deserves it, but because were going through this thing called college, and it can be kinda a struggle. Here's just a few of them.

1. Snoozing your alarm approximately 17 times before waking up 10 minutes after your class started.

Well hey, in my dream I was 100% certain that I didn't need to wake up so thats what happened.

2. When you think about how nice you used to dress in high school as you put on the same t-shirt you wore yesterday.

No one will ever know but your roommates.

3. When you see your reflection in a window and you wonder if you always look so miserable and mean.

I saw myself in a bus window and it looked like I wanted to murder someone. Yes, thats just my face, but no, I don't like you either.

4. Just trying to get to class on time and wiping out instead.

Everyone takes a tumble sometimes. If someone says they haven't, it's just because no one saw.

5. Wanting to dart your pencil across the table when someone sits across from you at your library table and won't stop making noises.

Are my dirty looks not giving this dude a hint?

6. Doing everything in the world except for the stuff you need to do.

I'm just going to organize my underwear drawer, wash the dishes, go for a 5 mile run, call my grandma, lay on the floor for 10 minutes, and then study.

7. Facetiming your family and starting to tear up when you see your dog.

Never been so jealous of my little sister than seeing her with my dog.

8. When you try to cook yourself dinner and realize you have no clue what you're doing.

"Mom, how does one cook a piece a chicken?"

9. Accidentally watching an entire season of a Netflix show while eating a box of mac and cheese.

I don't know why I am saying this is a struggle, its actually great and I highly suggest it.

10. Having a meltdown and being very overly dramatic.

Just let it out, you'll pull it together tomorrow or something.

So there ya have it.. adulting and being in college can really be quite the struggle. But its not the end of the world when you have a mental breakdown and eat a whole box of pizza. We all love college and were all going to make it out alive. So I guess we will figure it out one of these days.

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.
