All Things Back to School for College Sophomores

Heyyyo. It is almost time for college to start back. Well, it is around three weeks until club meetings, homework and dare I say preparation for tailgates is underway. Your first college summer is almost over!! I hope it was filled with sunshine, late nights, friends and pure joy. So, since summer is simmering down, and it is time to prepare for school. Here are my top 6 things you should do to get ready for your Sophomore year!

1. OUT OF THAT DORM, finally

We all know the dorms are overrated and moving out of them after your last final was way less fun than moving into them. Also, you are living in your very first apartment or house. Therefore, make an excel of all the things you need for your apartment, even if you already own them, you highlight as you go. For example, in my excel sheet, I highlighted the things I have in blue and continue to update it when I order or go buy. You can also, chose a highlight color if your roommates are bringing it, so you know that you don't have to.

2.SORORITY TEA TIME

IF school is about to start, then sorority recruitment is so close you can probably smell it. Considering, this will be your first ever recruitment process on the other end of things. It is going to be crazy, but we are going to get through this. Make sure you are planning your pre-rush, rush and Bid Day outfits, so they can be approved, and you know you are all set for spending the next two weeks at the house you love so much.

3.CLASS SCHEDULE

It is never too late (until five days after class starts) to change your schedule. Therefore, we all know that advisors aren't the best on keeping you on the right track. So, go over your Capp Compliance and make sure your schedule is perfect and on track to graduate. Also, if you decided to change your major during the summer then go ahead and make sure your new schedule will fit your new major and change your major a couple of days after school starts.

4.FRIENDS

Yesss, you have dreadfully been away from your long-distance college friends all summer, so go ahead a message them (I am sure you already probably have) and make sure they don't need help moving in or exchange schedules to see if you have any classes together. If not, there is nothing wrong with going out on the first day during Syllabus week!

5. SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Yeah, usually in college all you need is a notebook, book, or computer. Therefore, make sure you have everything ready to go to start the year, that way when school starts back you do not have to worry about getting organized and just have fun the first couple of days.

6.GROCERIES

Yes go out and get your groceries before school starts, just like with the school supplies, freshman and their parents will be crowding the whole perimeter of the college town and all stores around it "trying to make sure they have everything". We have all been there, just try not to get trapped and go grocery shopping in advanced to beat the freshman crowd.

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.
