Dear freshman me…

As A Senior In College: What I Would Tell My Freshman Self
American Red Cups Kopen

They say college is the best time of your life and boy, were they right. Looking back on my freshman year of college, there's not much that I would change. But there are are a few things I wish I could go back to tell myself...

Why are you going out 5 of 7 days a week... no judgements though, do it while you can.

Nap. As much as possible. You won't be able to in the working world.

Don't buy that fake. Take advantage of the frats because by senior year you won't be going to them every weekend.

Go to class!!! So you won't end up trying to save your GPA at the end of each semester.

Don't worry about boys. Ever. They suck.

Freshman 15 is so real! Eat healthy.

But not too healthy... those pizza and ice cream nights with the girls are some of the best memories.

Stop worrying about what other people think. It won't be worth it.

If your friends tell you not to text him back, don't. They know what's best for you.

Talk to your professors. They can either be your best friend or your worst enemy, but you can decide which they are.

Your college friends and sorority sisters are friends for life. Don't take them for granted.

Stop mixing alcohol!!!!!

Shop at Costco. 200 red solo cups for $10.00.

As ready as you were to go to college, you will miss your family. Call often.

Might as well stop trying for that bikini bod... you still won't have it as a senior. *cries*

Stop focusing and getting wrapped up on social media. Instead, focus more on what is going on around you.

Go to the job fair. Keeping in touch with companies and getting your name out there is so important.

Be open to new things. Especially mac and cheese with Sriracha hot sauce. Some things are life changing.

Senior boys only want one thing.

If you keep drinking Brunettes every weekend, you won't be able to look at it by sophomore year.

And most importantly, live it up. Four years went by faster than I could have ever imagined. Take chances and don't regret them. Breathe, take every moment in. And just like everyone says, have the time of your freakin' life.

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.
