12 Struggles Of Leaving Your College Friends
Gabi Benzilio

Leaving your college friends is probably one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. You will face many struggles and deal with the pain of not seeing them for long periods of time.

1. Saying Goodbye.

One of the hardest goodbyes you'll ever have to give. You don't want to leave them and they don't want to leave you.

2. Not having any food.

You can't walk into the next room and go through your friends' food. The only food you have in the house is the gross food your parents buy.

3. You can't walk into the next room and find your friends.

You're lonely and have no one to talk to. You can't just yell down the hall and have someone come to you.

4. You can't jump into bed with them and cuddle.

You can't yell or walk over and just jump into bead with your friends. You don't have the cuddle time.

5. No one is there to force you out of bed to run to the dinning hall.

You get up when you want. No one is there to bang on your door or just walk in and jump on you so you get out of bed.

6. Not having a bunch of closets to go through.

You have about ten people's closets to go through when you're at school but when you're home you have to deal with your own clothes and nothing else.

7. Starting the countdown the day you leave.

I started my countdown as soon as I started packing up my dorm.

8. Crying.

There were a lot of tears and they never stop.

9. Realizing you have absolutely nothing to do.

You go from having something to do every minute of everyday to being home and alone and having nothing to do.

10. You have to keep your dumb thoughts to yourself.

Only the people you live with will really understand and accept you and your dumb thoughts. Those are your college friends.

11. Your home friends just don't understand.

They don't understand why you're so obsessed with your school or your friends. They don't understand your jokes or new lingo.

12. Still crying.

The tears never end.

You miss your friends. You go from seeing them every minute of everyday for eight months to not seeing them at all for three. It sucks. I miss my friends so much.

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.
