7 Thoughts I Had on the First Day of Fall Semester

Well, it's that time of year again. For some, it is their very first Fall semester of college, and others have been through this before...maybe multiple times. As I made my way through my first week of classes and attempted to get myself into a set schedule again, I realized that I seem to have the same thoughts running through my head during this first week back every single year. For that reason, I have compiled a list of thoughts that I had during the first week of Fall semester.

1. Here we go again...

Yep, that's the very first thing that ran through my head when I woke up on Monday morning having no idea what hall I was even going to for my first class.

2. Is that my alarm? Why did I set that?

Correction...THAT is the first thing that ran through my mind when I woke up on Monday morning. After having the entire summer off of school and going to work later in the day most days, I completely forgot why I was getting up so early.

3. Am I actually going to need this textbook I just spent all of my money on?

Seriously...I get pretty skeptical about these professors when it comes to packing my backpack with 50lbs of books worth hundreds of dollars on the first day, just to find out later on that the book is not actually mandatory. Do I actually need this? Or can I actually save my money for something more important and relieve my back of at least 25lbs right now by taking this meaningless textbook out of it.

4. Why are you walking so slow???

Some of us actually need to book it across campus to make it to class in three minutes so if you could get out of my way, that would be fantastic.

5. Another year of driving around campus aimlessly just for a parking space that is not even close to any of my classes

Glad I pay for this parking pass so that I can not find anywhere to park my car on campus.

6. Why on earth is that girl wearing heels????

I was amazed at how many girls I saw walking up and down hills on campus in heels on the first day of classes. Do you have a death wish? Cause if you trip, it's all over. My advice? Leave the heels at home and try something more comfortable. You're going to class, not a fashion show.

7. Arriving at class and finally realizing that the semester has started and summer is officially over

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.
