7 Things Every College Senior Needs To Hear
Jamie Enders

If you're reading this then there's a good chance you're going through exactly what I am. Senior year of college. Did you ever think this year would come? Neither did I. When you think back to when you unlock your dorm room door for the very first time, the last thing on your mind is "I can already imagine senior year." Four years may seem like a long period of time, but it's not trust me. But if you're like me, then you've definitely experienced those days and nights when you serious weigh the pros and cons of dropping out. We've all been there. It may seem impossible to finish at different point in your college career, but if you keep your eye on then you will make it. But that's not to say you don't need a little encouragement every now and then. So here's a few thoughts of inspiration.

If you made it this far, you're doing great. Let's be real if you're a senior in college, you got this. You're basically done. The important thing is that you're here.

It's okay if you're not done after this year. You may be a senior that's heading into their super senior year and that's totally fine. It takes a little longer for some people and there's nothing to be ashamed about that. You're achievement is the same.

You will find a job after graduation. There's so much stress in this day and age to find a job that you can make a living off of. Stop worrying, you will. It may not be within your area of study right away but you will find a job and you will work your way up the ladder until you're exactly where you want to be. It'll happen.

It's okay if you didn't find love. Sometimes there can be a lot of pressure and expectation that you'll find your true love at college. Maybe not your true love but at least a love. You meet a lot of people in college, but just imagine how many more people you'll meet outside of college. Maybe you found love for two months, maybe two years, and maybe not at all, but the bottom line is, don't stress.

Just keep swimming (or studying). You're so close to being done. Keep your head above the water and take each day at a time.

It's okay to party until graduation. It's normal to party. Have fun while you're still in college. Just because you're a senior now doesn't mean you should stop partying. Yeah, it may get a little old. But only stop because it get old. Don't stop because you feel like you shouldn't because you're a senior.

You'll figure it out. During your last few months of college you have a lot to figure out, but you will figure it out. You'll find a job, you'll find a place to live, you'll make it as an adult. Yes, you should be thinking about it, but don't stress.

It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of senior year. I mean, you should be excited, but just remember that you need to put in just a little bit more effort and then you enter the real world.

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.

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.
