18 Thoughts of a College Student As Told By HIMYM

Ah, college. A time of having fun, going out with friends, being independent, and most importantly, going to class. While some classes are definitely easier and better suited to us, we have all experienced that one class that makes us want to quit college altogether and be a hobo for the rest of our lives. So whether you love your classes or not, here are a few things that all college students have either done or thought about while sitting in a college class.

1. You constantly look at the clock.

Five more minutes until 30 minutes until class is over.

2. Your mind starts to wander.

This is especially true if your professor has a monotone voice.

3. You wish you were somewhere else.

I'm looking at you, Chemistry.

4. You remember you don't know anyone in your class.

At least I get to focus on what I'm learning... right?

5. You congratulate yourself when you answer questions correctly.

And you didn't even have to use Google.

6. You shame yourself when you answer questions incorrectly.

At least you tried.

7. You debate whether you'll actually use this information in real life.

I don't know how to pay my taxes, but at least I know how to make an orbital diagram!

8. You get annoyed by the person who thinks they know more than the professor.

Just stop.

9. You question why you're even at college.

I'm just here for the perks, tbh. Wait, what are the perks again?

10. You know you're failing this class but you try to stay positive.

It happens to everyone.

11. You actually pay attention and understand the information.

And you feel so good about yourself. At least until class is over.

12. Your crippling fear of failure sets in.

What if I fail this test? This class? This semester? This school year? This life??

13. You realize everything will be okay because you'll be a real adult soon.

Then nobody can boss you around or make you do stuff!

14. You then realize you don't know how to be a real adult.

Where is my mom when I need her??

15. You cry silently and hope no one sees.

Remember to bring tissues to class, y'all. It's rough out there.

16. You pretend you didn't just have an emotional breakdown.

All good, guys!

17. You plan to treat yourself when you get home.

Ice cream, movies, cookies, crying yourself to sleep, the whole shebang!

18. You remember tomorrow is another day and that you're doing the best you can.

Sometimes you just have to put aside your worries and realize that you're human. College isn't the end of the world. Better days are headed your way, my friends! And when you look back on your college years, you'll realize that your time at school was legen--wait for it--dary!

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.
