65 Thoughts Had On The First Day Back At The College Of Staten Island

Let's face it, anyone who goes to The College of Staten Island (CSI) knows the pain of the first day of the semester. While some people love going back to college in the fall, CUNY goers everywhere are reminded why they couldn't wait for summer break in the first place.

Below is a list of the stream of thoughts that occurred on my first day back on campus - hopefully some of you can relate.

1. Oh no...Today is the day.

2. Should I actually look nice?

3. Does anyone care what I look like?

4. Eh...

5. I guess this is better than I'll look all semester.

6. Did I put the new parking sticker on my car?

7. Nobody will give me a ticket on the first day...right?

8. They had all spring and summer and they still didn't fix these potholes?

9. I hope my tires are okay...

10. Am I the only one who sees the stop signs?

11. Where the hell am I supposed to park?

12. I guess I have to park in the gravel.

13. Wow I can't wait for people to drop their classes so I can park in an actual lot.

14. I'll just wait in my car until it's time to walk to class.

15. Can I eat this banana in the car without that guy in the Mercedes staring at me?

16. No...The answer is no.

17. OK, now to walk to class without being seen by anyone I know.

18. Crap... did I go to high school with that person?

19. Please don't see me, please don't see me.

20. I'll just text someone so I can't make eye contact.

21. And to be sure I'll walk on the other side of the fountain.

22. Of course my texts aren't sending.

23. Isn't smoking illegal on CUNY campuses?

24. I guess nobody really cares.

25. OK, cool, made it into the building without bumping into anyone.

26. But what if I have class with someone I know?

27. Did I lock my car door?

28. Why is everyone just standing outside of the room?

29. Guys, the door is open...

30. Do they know something I don't?

31. Did I even bring a pen?

32. Am I in the right room?

33. Am I in the right building?

34. Imagine I'm in 2N and I'm supposed to be in 2S?

35. It is Tuesday...right?

36. Wait…should I have checked if I needed any textbooks?

37. Why didn't I check blackboard?

38. It's OK i'll just check now...

39. Of course my SLAS password is expired!

40. I guess I'll use my data.

41. Why does the service on campus suck so much?

42. Who am I kidding I don't know my CUNYPortal login information anyway...

43. I'm sure It's fine, it's too late.

44. The reviews on rate my professor were okay for this teacher but I don’t know if I believe them.

45. I’ll be the judge of that.

46. He had a chili pepper but he’s kind of gross.

47. What if he asks us a fact about ourselves?

48. That’s OK, I’ll just prepare now.

49. I don’t have any cool facts about me.

50. Who even am I?

51. WHAT DO I EVEN DO IN MY SPARE TIME?

52. Phew…that was a close one!

53. What is this guy even talking about?

54. How does this one kid know everything already?

55. Isn’t this an introduction class?

56. These textbooks better not be expensive.

57. 200 DOLLARS?! For one book?

58. Yeah right I’ll rent it online for $20.

59. That wasn’t completely terrible.

60. Time for the walk back to the car!

61. Now to sit alone until my next class.

62. What am I supposed to do for two hours?

63. I should’ve brought a snack.

64. Maybe this semester won’t be so bad!

65. Ha - who am I kidding?

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.
