8 Things You Ask Yourself Sophomore Year Of College

Oh, the joys of your sophomore year. You're no longer experiencing the firsts of freshman year and you're probably not in your upper-level courses yet. Being a sophomore is like being stuck in a less eventful version of your freshman year. Being a current sophomore, are some things I've asked myself this year.

1. Is college really worth all the stress and hassle?

Seriously, is it? Like why is finals week so terrible? My whole life doesn't depend on these silly tests. My GPA doesn't define my character or my heart. People won't look down on me as a human because I don't have a 4.0. C's get degrees, right?

2. Why is freshman year over?

I just want to go back to the year of experiencing college for the first time. Now I'm just stuck in an annoying rerun season. I feel like a 3 a.m. rerun of Friends, my life is eventful but I've seen it all before. Now I'm just eager to get out of college and see what real life is like.


3. How can I get more money?

Debt is a real thing, and now that I'm in my second year of accumulating it, I try and find ways to refresh my bank account. This includes selling stuff online using Poshmark and Mercari. Why is college so expensive?!?

4. Where are all my friends at?

All the people I was hanging out with this time last year just seem to be...gone. Some went off to get married, some dropped out because they were called to do something else, and others just disappeared somewhere on campus. Friends come and go, but at least I know that the ones I've made this year will last a lifetime.

5. How much coffee can I actually drink in one day?

Is there a limit? Can you consume too much coffee? Can my body function on just caffeine? Can my wallet handle all this money I'm spending on coffee? (probably not). Oh well...I'm going to try anyway.

6. When did checking my email become so important?

It went from checking my email once a week to three times an hour. When did this become so important? Why do I get so much spam? When will my professor check their email and actually email me back?

7. Why is staring at my wall so entertaining?

At this point in my life, homework and studying are less amusing than just looking at my wall. General Education classes are a drag and quite frankly dry.


8. How many times do I have to attend class a week to pass?

I know that none of my classes start before 11 in the morning, but it's still so hard to be motivated. If attendance is worth 15% of my grade... the highest I can get is an 85%. Which means I have to go to half the classes to make up for failed tests and assignments. Right? But seriously...don't skip class...it's like wasting money.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
