5 Things That Will Change When You Are In College
Bri Leifker

College is a time in your life like no other. It is a time where you truly have complete control over your life. The first time you do not have to ask your professors to use the restroom and the first time you choose if you would rather sleep in than go to class.

College completely flips your life around. In a blink of an eye everything will be different.

1. You will probably change your major.

You may come to school to become a doctor and you may graduate with a communications degree. THAT IS OKAY. You may feel as if you would have a 'better' life as a doctor after you graduate from school, but finding your true passion is way more important because it helps you LOVE what you are doing for the rest of your life.

2. Your views will change.

You will come into college believing you know everything in the world and no one will be able to change your opinion on anything... Well, I am here to tell you, you are WRONG. You will meet people and experience things that you never even thought about happening. You will completely change your views on certain things in life.

3. You will lose touch with your High School friends.

In the beginning of college, you will maintain your friendship. You will become busy, you will see each other less, and you will not talk as much. That is okay, because they are just as busy and they have found their home at their school with their new friends.

4. You will have a new appreciation for your parents.

Remember when you would get so annoyed with your parents when you would tell them something funny and then they would lecture you about how you will not get through the real world if you do not change your thinking? Do you remember being really pissed off and thinking they just do not understand how the world works now? Yeah, me too. You will understand that your parents lectured you so you do make it through the real world. You will appreciate all the lectures you only have listened to because you knew 'that they were so wrong'.

5. Time goes faster than you ever imagined it would.

You will wonder where the time goes. You will remember waking up for your first 8 AM class of freshman year and you will wake up the next day and you will be a junior. College will go by so quickly and you will not know how you even made it to your junior year. You will not know how you were able to manage school, extra curricular activities, and jobs. You will learn to treasure every moment because it goes by so quickly.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
