16 Thoughts Freshmen Have Their First Week of College
Madeleine Claire Naquin
  1. How much is too much for a dorm? In other words, can I bring my bookshelf? What about my coffee cart? How much of my closet can I bring? Also, how does one pack for college?
  2. There's no elevators in this dorm...? But I'm on the third floor!
  3. Am I supposed to walk to the showers in my towel? Or should I wear a bathrobe? Do I change in the shower stall? But then what am I supposed to do with the clothes I was wearing when I walk back to the room?
  4. Ok, I’m going out tonight. Who do I tell? Do I call my mom and tell her? Am I supposed to tell my RA? That sounds right. *Tells RA* “Ok…? Then go.”
  5. Why are boys making fart noises in the middle of the meeting? Haven’t they grown out of that by now?
  6. How do I know what to wear? Am I allowed to wear shorts? Does my outfit have to match? I miss uniforms.
  7. EW a bug! Ok, here's a paper towel, now let's go flush it before it comes back to life! *runs out of room to bathroom* *comes back to room* Did I forgot to grab my key when I ran out? Dammit, I did and now I'm locked out. And my phone is in there.
  8. I’m lost. No, I can’t be lost. To be lost, I’d have to know where I’m supposed to be going. I am simply misplaced. Maybe if I keep walking, I’ll figure out where I need to go. Okay, I’m lost.
  9. And this is the wrong class. How do I leave discreetly...?
  10. Ok, I found the class. Finally. Wait… Am I in the right class…? I think I am but why are there seniors in here?
  11. So we can just have our phones out on the desk? While she’s teaching? And we can just pick up our phones and text after we finish an assignment? Isn’t there a rule against this?
  12. I’M SITTING NEXT TO A BOY. THIS IS UNNATURAL.
  13. Wait, we can just leave? It’s not 10:05 yet. Is the professor sure about this? Whatever, I'm leaving.
  14. Why am I being woken up at 6:00 in the morning from the tornado siren when there isn’t a single cloud in the sky?
  15. Do I have to go to class? It's only the third day but I'm already too emotionally exhausted for this.
  16. Freshman Fifteen will NOT be a thing with all this walking.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
