40 Questions College Kids Ask Themselves, Almost Every Day

Deborah Killam

If you're a college kid and you spend most your days meandering around a university campus, you have probably become fluent in a certain type of language by now: "college kid."

The "college kid" language is an ancient form of speech that pioneers of higher education developed long ago- trying and have perfected over many years of study and practice.

Just kidding. Sort of.

In any case, if you attend a university, you know that there are certain questions that after awhile have become ingrained into your vocabulary for daily use. Whether you're in class or going out for lunch or just taking a stroll around campus, there are things you notice on a daily basis that will trigger these questions and if we're being honest, you've memorized them all by now.

1. Why is this line so long?

2. Ugh! No, Karen, that’s not what the story is implying at all. Did you even read?

3. Why did I take a 8 AM?

4. Why am I so hungry ALL the time?

5. Can we take naps?

6. Why do we get into an existential discussion in literally every class?

7. Does anyone else understand this guy’s jokes?

8. How can people look this good this early? It’s just not fair…

9. Why does this professor hate me?

10. Can we be done now?

11. Okay, but why do I change outfits like 4 times a day?

12. Why is it SO FREEZING in this classroom?

13. Does my roommate ever sleep?

14. Why is my roommate ALWAYS sleeping?

15. Why does the WiFi NEVER WORK?!

16. Why is everything so expensive?

17. Actually, why am I so poor?

18. Is class over yet?

19. Is it Thanksgiving break yet?

20. Why do I have to pay for books when I already pay tuition?

21. When can we leave?

22. Can we go get food?

23. Why did no one think to build more than 3 parking garages on a campus with 19,000 students?

24. Why does no one want to hire me?

25. Do you think the professor will notice if I take a quick nap?

26. So, like... can I bring food into this class?

27. WHY is that person so attractive?!

28. Can I call in sick to class... is that a thing?

29. Okay, but why do they charge so much for campus merch? Don't they know I have literally $2 in my bank account?

30. Does anyone know what they put in this soup?

31. Can you people PLEASE learn how to make popcorn and do your laundry so I don't have to wake up for another 3 AM fire alarm?

32. When did he assign THAT?

33. Is it Friday yet?

34. Hey Dad, can you transfer some money into my account?

35. Does anyone have a charger?

36. Did you read? Okay, cool, neither did I.

37. WAIT WE HAVE A QUIZ?!?!

38. Is anyone else hungry?

39. Why did she draw a smiley face on YOUR paper and not mine?

40. Wait, how is this year going by so fast?

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.
