College: As Told By Chandler Bing

College: As Told By Chandler Bing

College. What a time to be alive.

No, seriously. What a freaking time to be alive. One minute, it's the time of your life. You're having a fiesta with your amigas. The next minute you're googling careers that don't require a degree.

It's something else, y'all. Who better to tell the tale of college than Chandler Bing?



Some days you never want to graduate. College has got to be the best decision you've ever made, right?


Then there's the other days, when you have no freaking clue what you're even going to college for.


But one day, you finally decide on a major... until you have a mid-college crisis and want to change majors again but know it's too late and your parents will kill you.



Then about the time you're a junior, you get over it, right? Decide that you're happy with your major and all that good stuff. Until you have that class. That one dang class. The one that makes you question your entire existence as a human being. We all have that class.

\


And every time you have a test (aka self-esteem slaughtering session) you have to have a pep talk with yourself before looking at your grade.



But you survive and you're really proud of that C on your transcript even though you would've cried like a hungry baby over a C in high school.



Then you're in your senior year. Senior year is supposed to be the easiest, right?



Now not only are you worried about school, but you're worried about life and your future. Things like dying alone.



You get over it and start accepting the fact that you've kind of let yourself go and the stress of the past four years has done some damage and it's going to take a special human to love you at this point.



So then you start worrying about things like graduating. Only to realize that no one really graduates in four years and you'll be joining the fifth year club.



So you survive, whatever. It's fine. What's another $50,000 in debt? Okay. So year five. Now you're trying to get your life together. Trying to find a potential future husband.



You're always dealing with the "when are you actually going to graduate?" people.



And every single day is filled with stress, assignments, stress, degree audits, stress, procrastination, stress, a little bit of fun, and some more stress.




Then one day you actually graduate. I guess. Stay tuned.

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.
