12 Moments That Freshman Have
The College Whisperer


1. Writing scholarships and making weird connections to it

"Milk has impacted my life because it has been proven to protect me from cancer and asteroids from hitting my body. I am also very poor because of having to buy milk so this scholarship will help pay for my bills for college."

College students are desperate to get money for college as much as they can, and will write pretty much everything in order to not have as much loans as we can.

2. Okay, okay people seem to know each other just focus on the food and then get to the meeting people later

You go through the motions because you have to not look like someone who does not have friends.

3.You hung out with only your roommate for the first day

If you were anything like me your roommate was one of the only 3 people you were acquainted with in the school at first.

4. Forcing yourself to think that freshman orientation is a must and that you cannot sleep in and skip it

In my orientation everyone was from my major so I changed my classes to be with the same group of girls.

5. Everyone checks up on you on your first week, and it’s not only your parent- cousins, aunts, any family friend that reports back to your mom

Did you make it to all your classes on time? Have you done all your homework? Titi it’s syllabus week nothing exciting has happen yet.

6.You get so excited that you can have your own diet and eat everything your mom said was once in a blue moon.

You start to miss home and miss your mom’s cooking. You begin to understand why pizza everyday is not actually a good thing. Where's my arroz con gandules?!?

7. I love my major!! I took that one class in high school, must be the same

Family members "Oh so your not studying ___ anymore"

50% of college students change their major at least once during college, because you are not the same person you were in high school. This is only natural. If you do not end up changing your major, then that is perfectly okay too.

8. No one is there to watch you come back home because in college there are no babysitters, especially living in the dorms.

Man I’m gonna regret this....

This is when you realize that staying up watching an entire series on Netflix with your friends the night before classes was actually a bad idea. You learned the value of something called time management.

9. I NEED NAP TIME. Nap before homework. Nap before going out. Nap in between classes. Naps are essential.

10. Psych club? Sure! Newman Club? Yes! Dance club? Why not?! Poetry club? I write! Tea club? I like tea.

Turns into... 2am still haven’t finished that paper

12. In college, for almost every event there is a free t-shirt included.

Another Free T-shirt about the student center? I mean I guess

I mean who doesn’t need another pajama shirt? Get them in x large!

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.
