14 Thoughts Every College Student Has During The Summer

In about a month, we will all be moving back in and resuming our lives at our colleges. We will be reunited with our best friends, our coaches, our home away from home. Summer is great. You get to hang out with old friends and take a break from your usual routine. As the summer is beginning to wind down, here are 14 thoughts every college student has during the summer.

1. Where did I put...?

Everyone talks about moving into college, but no one talks about moving everything out. I accumulated a lot throughout the year and had barely enough room to shove it into my car and get it home. It was a very disorganized process, and I still haven't totally unpacked.

2. I don't want to go to work, but I need the money.

Summer is supposed to be fun and full of traveling and adventure, right? Wrong. You need the money for all your Taco Bell runs and all the food bills you accumulate quickly.

3. Why did I think summer classes were a good idea...?

They sounded like a good idea in the spring, but now it's summer and you have to do actual homework. But just think about it; it's one less class you have to stress about in the fall or spring.

4. I wish my college friends lived closer.

It seems like all my best friends are at least a good hour away from me. Plus, we are all busy trying to make money so there's no time for that drive.

5. I'm going to miss my dogs when I go back.

They are going to another whopping eight months without me in the house again, and they don't even understand why. How can I do this too them again?

6. Why is it raining everyday? It's supposed to be summer!

This one is probably only applicable to the bipolar state of Ohio. We could really use some sun here.

7. Where did all this construction come from?

It seems like every other street corner and highway has bright traffic cones and lane closures.

8. I wonder how many shows on Netflix I can finish before I go back?

Netflix: "Are you still watching?"

9. Why is no one posting/tweeting anything?

Oh, that's because I was just on Instagram and Twitter 30 seconds ago...

10. I spend more money on food than anything else.

*Checks bank account* Wow I really need to stop eating out so much.

11. I can't believe I used to dread the end of summer.

Yes, summer is fun, but I can't wait to be back on campus with everyone.

12. What day is it?

But for real, what did I even do yesterday?

13. I've really missed my family.

It's so nice being able to catch up and spend time with family after being gone for over half of the year.


14. Is it time to go back yet??

I miss my home away from home and all my friends.

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.
