50 Thoughts Since I Started My Freshman Year In College
Payton Leigh Taylor

While I read plenty of self-help articles online to prepare me for college, nothing really helps prepare you for the amount of walking you will do. Or the number of times you will be too lazy to walk to the dining hall, so you just skip a meal. And the change of school schedule from high school is a huge step into adulthood.

Since I have arrived at the University of New Hampshire, there have been many thoughts that cross through my mind more than once a day.

With the help from my two trusty roommates, Lauren and Sarena, we bring you our top 50 thoughts since we arrived on campus.

1. "I can't wait to get great grades, workout, and eat super healthy and get in really good shape!"

2. "WTF, homework on the first day?"

3. "Wait professor is letting us out a half hour early that's awesome."

4. "I'm so hungry but no part of me wants to walk to the dining hall."

5. "Just walk past the desserts, just walk past the desserts."

6. "I walked a lot of stairs today, one cookie won't hurt."

7. "My roommate ate four cookies and I don't want her to feel alone in that."

8. "OK, I'll leave a half-hour early for class to get to my building on time."

9. "Where is the building?"

10. "I HAVE TWO MINUTES WHERE IS THE BUILDING?!"

11. "And the room goes silent as I walk in late to class. Great."

12. *Gets back to room* "Aaaaand I left my keys inside."

13. "The hockey guys are so hot."

14. "The honors guys are so hot."

15. "The football guys are so hot."

16. *Smiles at another freshman and she glares at me* "Wow, college is going to suck I am not going to meet any new friends and be alone forever."

17. *Upperclassman smiles at me and gives directions to class* "I LOVE BEING AT COLLEGE EVERYONE IS SO NICE!"

18. "I'm going to rush a sorority!"

19. "Sorority girls are all so perfect oh my god never mind I'm not rushing."

20. "Why is it 90 degrees and people are wearing sweatpants?"

21. "Why is it 50 degrees and people are wearing shorts?"

22. "I'm so hungry."

23. *Goes to dining hall* "I'm so full and never eating again."

24. *Stands in front of a coffee shop* "I need caffeine but is it really worth $3?"

25. *Mom calls and tells you she misses you, 10 minutes later cries until you fall asleep"

26. "WHY IS THE SHOWER HOT ONE SECOND THEN COLD THEN BOILING"

27. "What am I doing with my life, I should have been a science major."

28. "You're taking five classes with three labs? I would NEVER be a science major."

29. *Wifi goes does down for the fifth time and it's 10 a.m.*

30. "Teachers really shouldn't specify that they don't take attendance because that's too tempting to not show up."

31. "I want to sit alone in the dining hall but will I look lonely?"

32. "Why are books so expensive?!?!"

33. "Why do I have a theater lab?"

34. "WHY IS THE WHOLE FOOTBALL TEAM IN MY THEATER LAB?"

35. *Complains about dorm being cold because of AC* *Everyone else hates you*

36. *Loves making food in dorm* *Doesn't do dishes until they pile up*

37. *Hears roommate horror stories* "I'm so lucky to have the roommates I do."

38. "She's wearing pajamas in class and no ones thinking twice, I want to get to that level."

39. "I need to wear cute clothes to the gym, in case I meet my future husband."

40. *Falls in love 9,263,817,826 times in the first day*

41. "I just want to go home and sleep" @ all the time

42. "I still can't find my dorm."

43. "I'm still hungry."

44. "How did I read four chapters in one night? Oh, it's 4 a.m."

45. "Do the stairs count as a workout?"

46. "I miss my mom."

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.

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.
