8 Things Every College Student Absolutely Despises
Sky

1. Class on Fridays

After a fun night out with your friends on Thursday (if you go out on Thursdays), no one really wants to wake up for their classes on Friday. Actually, no one wants to go to class on Friday in general. It should be illegal to have classes on Friday's in college. Agreed? Agreed.

2. Laundry days

Whether you live in the dorms, apartment or house, every college student hates doing laundry. Throwing it back to freshman year of college, waiting for a washing machine/dryer in the dorms to be available and worrying if someone was going to steal your new pair of Lulu leggings. Laundry days are the worst.

3. Drowning in homework

It's a never ending cycle of homework. Just when you think you finished all of your assignments, the following week piles more on your plate. Sometimes you're even trying to catch up from last week's reading assignments because it's just too much information. If high school seniors think they have it bad with homework and college applications, just wait until they're actually in college.

4. Mandatory attendance

Let's face it: no matter what time you have a class, it's so hard to get up and leave. It's hard to find motivation as a college student who hardly gets any sleep. It's even worse when attendance is 20% of your grade.

5. Assignments over holidays

Take spring break for example. We all want to have fun and enjoy a week away from school. Getting assignments and exams to study for over the break? Yeah, it completely defeats the purpose of going on a break.

6. Being broke

It's hard to save money when all of your friends want to go out on fun adventures. Paying for Ubers is also hard when no one wants to split the ride with you. We all tell ourselves every day, "Omg I'm sooooo broke" as we continue to online shop and sip on coffee we didn't actually need.

7. When the Starbucks line is long

When there are 10 people in front of you waiting for their drinks and you have an assignment due at 11:59, the long lines can stress you out more. Not to mention, when people don't know their orders.

8. When all the tables at the main library are taken

If you're not at the library earlier than 3 P.M on a Sunday, you're going to have a bad time. The first to third floors of the library are always full, so if you're wanting to focus and get homework done, get there before everyone else.

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.
