The ABCs of My First Weeks at College

And I'm lost again….

But why are there never paper towels in the community bathroom?

Can you have a mid-life crisis at 18?

Drunk people. Lots and lots of drunk people.

Empty rooms...wait, people are already dropping out???

Face breaking out. Is it from all the dessert or the stress?

Golf, school, and clubs, do I really have time for it all?

How am I supposed to get down from this bed without hurting myself?

I don't know anyone here.

Just forget about quiet hours, they apparently don't exist.

Kainotophobia-fear of change.

Late nights...doing homework...totally not watching a movie.

Making sure you have snacks for every occasion and mood.

Naps. All the naps.

Oh sh-! I have class in 5 minutes!

Please let there be good food for lunch.

Questioning whether I should drop out and work at McDonalds for the rest of my life.

Required activities until 11pm during Week of Welcome?! Why can't I just go to bed????

So much debt. Lots and lots of debt...

This class is killing my soul...and it's only the second day.

Um, did you say free????

Very loud people next door.

What is sleep?

Xtra sketchy washing machines. Why must they flood every use?

You best believe I'm procrastinating homework for Netflix.

Zipping across campus because you only have 10 minutes between classes.

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.

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.
