10 Times You Realize College Is Basically Like Living Through Preschool All Over Again

College can be overwhelming, but so was preschool sometimes. A little tiring, a little crazy, a little learning, but a hell of an experience. Here is a list of 10 things that may remind you of preschool while in college.

You might not relate to everything on this list, but at least one should apply to you.

1. Nap time

Not everyone has time for this, especially once you're out of the dorms; but we all know that the nap you take/took in between classes, REVIVED you. Though sometimes, made your day a groggy mess.

2. Snack break

When you're running from one class to another, or feel like you have a hundred things to do, then you might only have time for a quick snack. Granola bars are the way to go.

3. The sleeping song

It's the sound of your professor's voice. Yes, you know exactly what professor I am talking about. The talent that they have to make a 50 minute class feel like a 3 hour one.

4. Handmade gifts

You are broke when you're in college, maybe even more than when you were in preschool. So sometimes you have to get creative and handmade gifts are the way to go.

5. The tears

Everyone cries at some point in college. Whether it's from the stress or you miss home, or you don't know what to do with your life. We all cry.

6. Outdoor time

In preschool, it was all fun and games, and you didn't have it in the winter. But in college, it's every day and what feels like all day. You have quite the outdoor time, no matter the weather; sunshine, rain, snow, wind, hail, and more.

7. "Free" lunches

In preschool, food was "free" because you didn't understand the concept of money. Though in college, you understand money, and you know you overpaid for those swipes and "dollars", so you have no other way to cope but to pretend it's "free."

8. Beverage consumption

Apple juice boxes just kept on coming. Orange juice used to taste so good. Now they are just mixers.

9. Making friends

Although the location has changed from one classroom to multiple frat house, we still find a way to make memories together. Even if some are still peeing themselves.

10. And boys

... enough said.

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.
