"I can't believe it...I'm officially a college student!"

20 Ways "Monsters University" Accurately Explains College

It turns out that humans and monsters aren't so different, after all, even if we are separated by closet doors. Pixar's brilliant movie "Monsters University" is my favorite depiction of college, by far. From the very first day of school, finding friends and studying, I relate to just about everything. The accuracy of Mike and Sulley's adventures and struggles through college is uncanny!

1. Your very first day is one to remember.

You set foot on campus excited to take the world by storm!

2. When you first meet your roommate and think you’ll be instant best pals.

Sometimes it does work out that way, but sometimes it just doesn't.

3. As time goes on, you realize living with someone you don’t know can sometimes be a hairy situation.

You make the best of it, though!

4. Eventually, you find your people.

The kind of friends you've been looking for, the ones you can be weird with and who will let you be yourself.

5. You go to class on the first day hoping to find the building, room, and a good seat in record time.

You can't be late!

6. The activities fair is always a great place to sign up for all the organizations you’d been hoping for.

Of course, you only ending up really sticking to a couple of them, but continue to get emails all year.

7. Eating the dining hall food day after day.

There have definitely been meals where I've questioned what they were exactly.

8. The feeling when you finally get an A!

And you walk out of class like a boss.

9. Big rivalry games.

If your school is known for its sports, chances are you’re like the Monster’s University team. If you’re lacking in the athletics, you’re Fear Tech. This can also apply to the super tall athletes on campus who you try to avoid walking into.

10. Getting excited by any type of money because you’re a poor college student.

Every cent counts!

11. You and your friends at parties.

You're either one or the other.

12. When the party gets out of hand.

There's always those guys who jump out the window immediately.

13. The three types of students.

The kid in every class who constantly raises their hand, the one who gets by just by showing up, maybe even taking a nap or two, and, the rest of us drones.

14. Walking behind the slowest walkers on the planet as you’re heading to class.

I don't have all day here, I have places to go!

15. When the Freshman 15 has hit, and you attempt to be fit.

This is an actually GIF of me in the gym.

16. What you really do as you study in the quiet library.

And you thought I had nice, soft music to focus. Ha.

17. Finals week.

There's never enough coffee.

18. When you've studied for days and just can't take it anymore!

It's like a study coma, but you have to keep going.

19. When Sulley explained just how scary it is to decide what to do with your life.

Sometimes you will fail, you may change your major, transfer or have complete breakdowns.

20. To get to the top, you first have to start at the bottom.

But with hard work, you can be the best scare team in the biz!

Maybe life isn't so different from the movies, after all!

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.
