We have all had these moments

5 Things College has taught me about Myself

So I have been in college for 3 years now, currently in my Senior year. Every day I promise you is a learning experience that I am never prepared for. Learning and growing is always the key to success so I take my downfalls very well. As a college student, I'm sure some of you can relate to my struggles. I love when you can because it makes me feel like I'm not alone. If you have these same attributes let's bond on them. There is strength in numbers.

1) I am a weird introvert, extrovert, Type A person

I am a creature of habit. I truly do not like surprises during the college day. I really am on the move and I don't have to time to play. Now that I have described 75% of me let's talk about this other 25. This smaller section is me wanting to be in the mix and out and about. Sometimes I want to be sitting in the dome with my other colleagues and people watching. It all depends on the day and whether it's hot outside.

2) I Hate slow walkers with a true passion

When I'm on the way to class in an 11000-degree heat, I would like not to get there in head to toe sweat. I walk like I drive, The sidewalks are mine and if you are going to slow I will pass you and not feel bad. I truly dislike the people who walk slowly around classroom areas and know people are rushing. This sounds kind of self-absorbed but I guarantee you I can find a college student everywhere that feels the same way.

3) I refuse to pay for a class and be quiet the whole time.

Do you actually look at the bill that gets issued for a college education? This increasing pain in my butt is for me to take my classes and be engaged in them. I understand if you're more on the shy side because speaking in class is a lot. But if you come to class and just sit there on your phone BE ASHAMED!! Your paying average 100 dollars per class session and you don't pay attention? You have to be kidding me!! I speak even when I don't feel my answer is correct. If is a little intimidating but at the same time me asking questions and speaking shows on my test grade.

4) I am quite Critical about myself still but its improving.

Going along with talking in class I can still be timid about it. I have this business law class where I feel like I never say anything correct. The crazy part is I'm the main talker so it goes half and half. I feel stupid when talking BUT at least I am speaking. Sometimes we let our fears stop us from excelling to a better person. I probably will have the smartest comments for the class come next month.

5) My freshmen 15 turned into a 50 and I'm just trying to make it at this point.

I wish you could see my face every time I see freshmen twitting they are going to stay in the gym. I realized life takes over and food becomes comfort while studying. I am working to lose the weight but its has its hard moments. I balance multi-blogs, 18 credit hours, and a 40+ hour job. Eating and sleeping is the only thing I want to do in my spare time.

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.

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.
