16 College Orientation Questions You'll Want To Ask
HuffPost

It's time for college orientation season to begin at colleges and as my day is tomorrow, it inspired me to write about all the worries and excitement that goes along with it.

1. What to bring


Pencil, paper, computer, valid ID, confirmation, and of course yourself.

2. What to wear


Clothes (duh) but what kind? Make sure to check the forecast.

3. What to ask

Make a list of questions beforehand.

4. What time to show up

"If you're early you're on time, if you're on time you're late" so they say.

5. Who do you go with

If you know someone going, that helps, otherwise you'll meet someone there.

6. Where do you park

Make sure to look into the lots before going and print any passes you may need to avoid a ticket.

7. Where do you sign in

There has to be a booth somewhere.

8. What will be going on

Better save the schedule to your phone.

9. Will I make it to everything

It says you have to be at everything so I'm going to guess that they will make sure you get to where you need to go.

10. Will the information be helpful

If you ask questions from your list, you'll get most if not all the info you needed.

11. Are we going to have to do ice breakers

I don't know if I'm up for running around and singing songs, but if that's what happens, I guess games it is.

12. What classes to take

Looking up courses before is a good idea, so you have some sort of idea as to what you will need to take and what you'll take in semesters to come.

13. Meeting with advisors

Show your advisor what you have and ask what they would suggest. They've done this a few times so they will be able to direct you and help you choose courses better suited for you.

14. When are we done

These days are long, but the end gets closer by the minute!

15. The relief at the end of the day

Returning to your car and breathing a sigh of relief now that everything is settled and ready for the weeks to come.

16. Waiting for the semester to begin

Now it's time to worry about getting all those books...

This orientation will (hopefully) make your next semester seem less intimidating, or more depending on the classes you chose to take. Just remember that you're not there for nothing, you are there because you are getting ready for the next chapter of your life and waiting for what comes your way.

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.
