The first week of class is right around the corner, and humor is something that won’t cross your mind during this time of the school year. New classes, new buildings, and new people. Here’s 13 feelings you’ll have from a freshman’s POV:

1. Where am I?

There will be certain buildings that will be completely new to you, and you’ll end up in a part of campus that you have no idea where you are. Another fun thing is when you get out of an hour and a half class, and you’re completely disoriented. It gets easier, though. Trust me.

2. I have no idea who these people are.

Unlike high school, you probably won’t see familiar faces in all of your classes. Seeing a familiar face on campus is like a breath of fresh air, but making new friends is just as fun.

3. Aren’t you in like 3 of my classes?

You’ll probably end up seeing the same strange faces over and over, and that’s because you probably have similar majors, or it’s just a fluke and you need to buddy them up quickly for homework questions.

4. I am so hungry.

Sometimes your schedule just won’t work for you, and you’ll end up going 4 hours without eating. (Yes, 4 hours is a long time.)

5. I have eaten TOO much today.

That Chick-fil-a line will be short sometimes, and you’ll take advantage of it and eat your weight in chicken nuggets. Also, all that free food will also get to your gut.

6. I never knew sweat could form there.

Walking around campus all day at the beginning of the semester, in the heat, can definitely wear you down. And with your backpack on, sweat can form in the grossest places. You’ll find out.

7. Am I in the right class?

Even as a sophomore, I still have the fear that I’m going to walk into the wrong class. I got lucky last year and avoided it, but it will surely happen to some of you at least once. Or more than once.

8. Taking a nap sounds like a good idea, until you wake up 10 minutes late for class.

It’s the scariest thing waking up from a nap and not knowing what time or day it is, but checking the time and realizing class has already started isn’t a good impression for your first week.

9. You took for granted sleeping in your own bed.

At home, your bed is just a bed until you’re trying to sleep at college. Loud noises above you, loud noises outside your window… what happened to those quiet nights all comfy in your bed?

10. Can I eat my textbooks?

After all the money you’ll spend on your textbooks, money for food is a joke. So, you get a little crazy.

11. How have I survived without a planner in the past?

My whole life revolves around my planner. I can’t remember plans to save my life, and so I don’t end up failing my classes or agreeing to plans I can’t make, I have a planner. Or, as I call it, a life saver.

12. How gosh dang pretty your campus is.

You’ll be walking around campus a lot this year, and the sight of your library will never not astonish you. Enjoy the university you’re paying a lot of money for.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
