What To Do With All Of That College Free Time
The Odyssey Online

College. It is a wonderful time full of all kinds of new experiences. One new thing that will drastically change from high school is your classes. You may have three classes that are one hour long or one class that is three hours long. The crazy thing about this is that you may only have one class a day or you may have five depending on how you set up your schedule.

All of this being said, you are going to have a ton of free time and now you have to ask yourself, "What am I going to do with all of my free time?" Well, here is a list of possible ideas.

1. Nap

A good nap is always a good time filler. Also college is kind of like when you were little, if you didn't get a nap you might get a little grouchy.

2. Go to work or get a job

Got to start working on paying off those student loans... or all of those late night ventures to Wal-mart.

3. Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to open yourself to new experiences and also it looks great on a resume.

4. Go to a movie

Many town or cities that have colleges also have movie theaters who have good deals for students.

5. Start a series on Netflix

There are all kinds of things to watch on Netflix for almost anyone to watch.

6. Start four more series on Netflix

Why stop at one, keep on chugging and get comfy because there are so many things to watch.

7. Go out with friends

This is something that can be as little as going over to someones dorm/apartment to going to the club and turning up!!!!!

8. Join a campus group or organization

There is literally a campus organization for anything that you could probably ever want. Fan of board games? There is a group for that. Big in politics? Join a Democratic or Republican organization. Underwater basket weaving? Well I do not think there is a group for that, but you could totally start one if you wanted to.

9. Exercise

Terrified of gaining that dreaded Freshman 15? I am guessing that your school has a gym and you do not have to pay for it. So go hit the gym up and maybe take some of the classes that they teach there. Anyone up for cycling or maybe Zumba?

10. Eat!!!!

Well you have to use those dining meals and money on something right? Why not eat it all???

11. Another Nap

Like I said before... Naps are great.

12. Go to a sporting event

Most colleges have sporting events year round and this is a good way to show your school spirit and it is probably FREE!!!!!!

13. Homework

I guess during all of that free time you could probably do the homework that you get from your classes (I mean this may be the first thing that you should do, or you may look like this guy).

College gives you so many freedoms that you probably did not have while you were in high school. Make sure you get good grades, but also make sure you have all the fun you can!!!

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.
