5 Things You Learn As A Transfer Student

Ok so everybody's college experience is different. Some know what they want to do, others are just finding out what they want to do after switching schools around a bit (me!!!!).

And of course you learn things when you move schools a lot. Here are some different things I learned :

1. It didn't work the first time around but that's okay

Most students transfer because their current school wasn't offering what they really needed to pursue their dreams. Some of us needed a change of scenery while others left due to financial reasons. These are our most important years right now and if you have to go through different routes to find your happiness then Do you Boo boo.

2. Go to Orientation

I'll admit the word orientation sounds scary and unappealing to most. It can be very terrifying meeting new people and doing those silly activities that student affairs set up but, orientation can be very informative. You can find out who your teachers are, where all your classes are, if there's tutoring for your major and where the food is (i love food).

3. Join a club

When you have free time from your classes or you just want to be apart of something a club should definitely be your go to. I know you probably want to stay holed up in your room watching the latest episode of your fave TV show but, joining a club can be a great way to make new friends and feel like you are apart of your school.

4. Do the work


Try to set little goals for yourself because remember at the end of the day you are there for a reason. So if you stay focused and do what you gotta do then things should fall into place.

5. Be you Boo Boo

You don't have to change yourself just because you are at a new school. No sense in trying to be something that you know you're not. Plus that's major stress in your life that you don't need!

Transferring can be overwhelming, lots of students do it so you'll live. It's not the end of the world so make the most out of 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.
