25 Thoughts You Have Had While Applying to College

If you are like me, you have spent the last few weeks (if not months) writing and rewriting supplemental essays, getting recommendation letters, going on interviews, and telling 48,576 of you parents closest friends about the school you want to go to. That's right, its late October of your senior year and college is the only thing on your mind. You love thinking about it and all of the possibilities. You are excited to see where you get in, and even more excited to see where you end up. But now, all you are doing is writing applications and it is way more stressful than you were expecting:

1. This is harder than I thought it would be.

2. They have how many supplements!?

3. If it says at least one page, should I write one, or, like, 25?

4. Who else is applying?

5. I wonder where everyone else will go from my school.

6. Why do I have to pay to send SAT scores, AP scores, ACT scores, and the application itself?

7. I'm definitely not getting in.

8. Should I do the scholarship essay? Will I get the scholarship?

9. Should I send and email asking a question? Or is that too much?

10. I'm definitely getting in.

11. Does 250-650 words mean I should write 650?

12. What is my third choice concentration?

13. What if I don't get in anywhere?

14. What if my computer explodes on October 31st?

15. What if my common app doesn't go through?

16. What if I accidentally spelled my name wrong?

17. Why should I be considered for admission for (insert school name)?

18. What stands out about this school to me?

19. This is easier than I thought it would be.

20. I want to talk about college all of the time.

21. I don't want to talk about college anymore.

22. I love (insert school name) so much I can't even think about anything else!

23. I can't wait to hear back!

24. How did high school go by so quickly?

25. This is all going to be worth it.

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.
