48 Thoughts You Have Before Going Back To College

As the summer slowly fades away and going back to school is right around the corner, us college students remember that being mentally prepared is just as hectic as being physically prepared. Here are 48 thoughts you have before going back to college:

1. Where did my summer go?

2. Seriously like what did I do all summer…

3. I feel like all I did was work, sleep and eat.

4. I had a pretty good summer; there were some good parts.

5. Vacation was probably the most fun…and that’s about it.

6. I feel like I didn’t see any of my friends from high school.

7. Oh well, too late now.

8. I have so much to pack.

9. How am I going to have time to do all this? I have to work every single day this week. Ugh.

10. I need to go to Target.

11. Should I bring this?

12. I don’t think I used this last year, but I might need it this year right?

13. I’m so behind on packing.

14. I have nothing ready.

15. I should be packing my stuff, but it’s sunny out today so I think I’ll lay out instead.

16. Do I bring mostly fall clothes or summer clothes?

17. What did I bring last year?

18. Shoot, what time do I move in?

19. Mom, I’m gonna need more than one box to move all my clothes.

20. Maybe a few extra boxes for my shoes, too.

21. Wow, I have a lot of laundry I need to do.

22. I basically need to wash my entire wardrobe.

23. How am I going to do all of this in so little time?

24. I almost forgot to bring my backpack!

25. I wish I could bring my dogs.

26. Maybe I’ll just bring my dogs without telling Mom or Dad.

27. I wonder how many of my friends are already back on campus.

28. I’m so excited to be surrounded by all my favorite restaurants!

29. I should probably limit myself to eating out once or twice a week…

30. I just remembered Cane’s is opening soon…shoot.

31. I need to create a better budget this year.

32. Who am I kidding? My budget will be the exact same.

33. That reminds me, I still need to go to the grocery store when I get there!

34. Since I’ll be packing a lunch should I get a lunch box?

35. No, I don’t want to look like a freshman.

36. I really hope I can stick to packing every day.

37. But then again there’s a Chick-fil-A right there on campus…

38. I should probably not get Starbucks as much again this year.

39. But once it’s cold and dark in the morning I know I’m going to, ugh.

40. I wonder who’s playing for welcome weekend this year.

41. Should I go to welcome weekend?

42. I’ll see what my friends are doing, I can’t wait to see them!

43. I should probably see what books I need.

44. I’ll get them later.

45. Shoot, I literally move in tomorrow and still have to pack.

46. I hope I didn’t forget anything!

47. If I did I’ll grab it, I’ll get it next time I’m home.

48. See ya later, fam! I’ll miss you!

And just like that, before you know it you’re all moved in and back at school. The three and a half months of summer that you knew is now gone and you’re starting another year at college.

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.
