7 Signs You've Chosen The Right College
Caroline Najar

When it comes to applying to college, or transferring to one, it can be a hard decision. What if you don't end up liking it? What if you don't find the right group of friends? What if you're too far from or too close to home? What if the weather wasn't what you expected?

Believe me, all of these questions came to mind. But don't you worry! Once you begin the fall semester, you'll have all the answers to those questions. Here are 7 reasons you chose the right college.


1. You Can't Imagine Life Without The Friends You've Made

The friends you make are the ones who have the most impact throughout your college experience. They're the ones who make your bad days better and make staying in so much fun. They motivate you to workout and have mental breakdowns with you as you're studying for exams. You love going to parties with them and dancing like no one's watching (except everyone is watching).

2. The Campus Is B-E-A-UTIFUL

Who doesn't want to show off their campus to their hometown friends and family? The campus is one of the best things about the university. Bear Down, Arizona.

3. Leaving Your Friends For The Holidays Is Hard

Unless they travel with you, then problem solved. Until then, enjoy the group chat blowing up 24/7 and weekly Facetime calls. I miss you, friends!

4. You Can't Wait Till Summer Is Over To Go Back

If you can't wait to go back and live with your best friends for another school year, did you really choose the right college?

5. Did Someone Say Party?

Thursday is the day most college students look forward to. 1) Because parties happen that night and 2) Many students don't have classes on Friday. Thursdays are the new Fridays. Wait, does anyone even go out on Fridays anymore? Oh, and don't forget Saturdays. Tailgates, pool parties, late nights at the frats-- it's a fun time.

6. Sports. Sports. Sports.

Football and Basketball season are another one of my favorite things about the university. Having the strongest and loudest student section in the country is what makes games memorable. Tailgating and then heading to the stadium to support your school's team is one great way to spend your Saturday.

7. The Most Important Reason: Education

The most important reason why you chose the college/university you're attending is the education. The college you chose has either the best nursing, engineer, journalism program out there. Always remember the reason why you're there! Partying isn't everything. Whatever your degree might be, good job on choosing the best college that suits you.

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.
