15 Thoughts: Freshmen vs Upperclassmen
Google

There are two types of people in this thing called college; one is a freshman and the second is an upperclassmen. Both of which have similar thoughts but depending on whether you are the first or second person, it differs throughout your experience in college.

Freshmen: "I have my backpack filled with every possible thing it can hold including my class schedule, extra utensils and paper, and all the books required for this class!"

Upperclassmen: "Let's throw some things into my bag that I probably won't use because it's syllabus week anyways."


Freshmen: "I am going to ace all of my classes by studying everyday, doing my homework, and basically be living in the library." (No judgement)

Upperclassmen: "C's get degrees, am I right?!"


Freshmen: "I hope I find my soulmate and we go on all these cute dates, and fall madly in love."

Upperclassmen: "I am in a serious relationship with pizza and alcohol."


Freshmen: "I hope I am not seen as a freshman, blend in as much as possible."

Upperclassmen: "I have had my classes with the same 30 students every year so you are going to stick out whether you want to or not because I have never seen you before."


Freshmen: "Going to take very detailed notes, go to office hours, and attend every class."

Upperclassmen: "Those notes are going to be on blackboard right?"


Freshmen: "I have all this money I saved up and my parents are helping me out so no worries in the financial area."

Upperclassmen: "Have exactly .17 cents in my bank right now. I'm fine."


Freshmen: "I am going to workout everyday and eat only healthy food."

Upperclassmen: "Gaining weight is a way of maturing."


Freshmen: "20 minutes before my next class? I can review material and study and..."

Upperclassmen: "20 minutes before my next class? Nap."


Freshmen: "Where is my class anyways? How do you even pronounce this building? Should I carry a map with me?"

Upperclassmen: "I could find my class in my sleep. Wait I didn't know this building had a third story?"


Freshmen: "I'm going to wear my nicest clothes and shoes; look amazing, do amazing right?"

Upperclassmen: "This T-shirt doesn't have any holes in it and these yoga pants look clean so it should work."


Freshmen: "Got an alcohol violation on my first day of college, let's create a gofundme for it."

Upperclassmen: "Don't need to worry about those things. Decorating my apartment with alcohol references, will blare music and be obnoxiously loud for the pre game, and going to the bar to drink because I'm of age.


Freshmen: "Do I have to check into the front desk EVERY TIME I check into my dorm building?"

Upperclassmen: "No rules. Fire Up."


Freshmen: "I will call my mom everyday because I miss her already."

Upperclassmen: "I'll text my mom to tell her I'm still alive right before going out for my 5th time this week."


Freshmen: "These dorms are so small and I have to share it?!"

Upperclassmen: "My closet is larger than my dorm room last year."


Freshmen: "My major is undecided."

Upperclassmen: "Same."

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.
