College. As Told By Kimmy Schmidt

Any person who watches Netflix has inevitably heard of or come across the Netflix produced "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." Maybe it is Kimmy's constant can-do attitude or the constant stereotypes the characters are playing and hilariously exaggerating. But I have come to realize that Kimmy Schmidt is the college student in all of us.

1. Walking into the first day of class as a freshman like.

(Or in my case, tipping up the concrete stairs first.)

2. Realizing that you can live on your own and eat and do whatever you want.


3. When your roommate is gone for the night and you just kind of dance around the room singing and dancing in some unfortunate clothing because you know that no one can possibly walk in on you being totally embarrassing.


4. Being an education major and realizing that you should maybe start watching your language because pretty soon there will be 30 impressionable little ones studying your every move.


5. Walking into an exam after you just gave yourself a pep-talk and listened to your pump-up jam.


6. When someone comes at you with something other than good vibes.


7. When you had a really hard day and someone offers you chocolate.


8. Coming home for the weekend and eating so much good (and real) food.


9. The "I am listening to you and will rip this guy's arm off if he touches you again face" as you hold in your anger while consoling your friend.


10. Realizing that you know absolutely nothing about guys.


11. Seeing fries in the dining room and resisting the urge to eat them because you have had them 27 days in a row and realize that the freshman 15 is becoming a reality.


12. Mood swings.


13. Driving to school at the end of the summer and realizing you get to see your favorite people in a matter of hours.


14. When you hangout with your guy friends and try to act like one of the dudes and keep up with them.


15. When all the syllabi come at you.


16. This paper is due when?

17. Sitting in a class where you are totally in over your head and just go along with everyone because they all know exactly what is going on.


18. During sorority recruitment just trying to give a kind compliment and make small talk and end up offending the president.

19. Making sure people know this because college is fudging hard.


20. When everything in your room goes from being perfect to messy.


21. Your peer advisors during your freshman year.


22. Posing with your best friend during a fun night out because you are looking fab and your make-up is #onfleek.

23. Being the only one in a good mood (or not hungover) in your friend group and just trying to lighten the mood.


24. Driving to Walmart alone in the car and jamming so hard because it is the first alone time you have had in a week.


25. Waking up to a mess of clothes, make-up, and snacks on every inch of your room on a Sunday morning and realizing you have done none of your homework and now have to clean your room as well.

26. Realizing coffee exists.

27. Hearing that your partner will be assigned for a project.

28. Meeting your professor on the first day and hearing all of his/her accomplishments and suddenly having deep respect and no words.

29. And the best possible advice, on so many levels.

As the fall nears close, and move-in is just days away, we can get excited for another year having the time of our lives. Happy beginning of the semester to all! And if you get down, just watch some "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and your mood will drastically improve.

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.
