I'm super excited about the first year, but I'm still very apprehensive.

5 Questions All Freshmen Have Going Into Their First Day
Odyssey

I decided to write this so after the semester I could answer them. Freshmen year is full of different and new experiences and people. It is also full of stress, fun, laughs, and learning how to be on my own. Already I've met so many people that I would've never met at home. Going in, I have so many different questions and things I'm worried about, so here are five questions I have going into my first year:

1. Will I like my roommate?

Yeah, I know I'll love her when I first meet her, but a couple months down the road will I still love her? Or will she bring people over that make me feel uncomfortable? Are we going to fight a lot? Living with someone new is weird, so how will I do? But I'm equally worried about my roommate loving me.

2. Will I find my "Forever Friends"?

You know those friends that you will literally have for the rest of your life? Those ones that your children call aunt or uncle? Will I find them this year or do I have to wait until my sophomore year? I feel like a freshman in high school all over again trying to fit in and find friends. The pressure is real.

3. How hard will my classes be?

They say college is ten times harder than high school, but with all the free time and resources, will it really be hard? I know they will be expecting more of us than in high school but what will it really be like? Also, the resources are literally a walk away, so why wouldn't I use them?

4. How much sleep am I going to get?

My nap game is already pretty strong, but every visit I've gone on college kids are constantly napping. Is this because they don't have enough sleep or because they just nap constantly so they are constantly tired? Will my homework get in the way of sleep? Will I need to stay up all night to finish that last minute paper?

5. WILL I GAIN THE FRESHMAN 15??

So my mom while shopping was SO BIG ABOUT PORTION CONTROL because of the dreaded freshman 15. Wells is so big and hilly but I am still concerned about the weight because I know stress can make you want to eat more and food on college campuses are known not to be the healthiest. So, will I gain the dreaded pounds????

So before I start my first week at Wells, I have SO MANY questions. With all of these questions, though I'm so ready for this year!!

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.
