How It Feels Going Back To College As Told By "The Office"

This week I will be returning to Villanova for my sophomore year of college and having already gone through a year, I know what to expect going back. Moving in will feel exciting, embarrassing at times (thanks parents!), and sad all at the same time. Thankfully Michael Scott and the rest of Dunder Mifflin can help me show any incoming freshman what to expect when leaving for school.

1. Leaving your hometown best friend will always be hard

It will always be hard to leave your hometown best friend, no matter how far into college you are. After spending an entire summer together, goodbyes will be emotional but Thanksgiving will come sooner than you think.

2. Leaving is all kinds of exciting

The car is packed to the brim, your dad is stressing about traffic, and it's finally time to go back to school! If you're a freshman you are probably excited to see what college is like, and for the upperclassmen that means seeing your friends again.

3. Your parents might be embarrassing at move in

Whether it is talking to the cute guy on the stairs, making dad jokes to your roommate, or them just being SUPER excited to move you in, your parents are bound to do something that makes you squirm. As embarrassing as they can be don't get mad at them, they're just excited for you!

4. Reuniting with your college friends is the BEST feeling

FINALLY it's the moment you've been waiting for all summer. Reunions will be full of a ton of hugs and you're just ready to party it up with your friends again.

5. Remembering that you DO have to go to class is rough

College is one of best parts of your life: you find your people, join fun clubs, and get to experience another part of the country. But college is about school and remembering that you will soon have lectures, tests, and homework is not a fun feeling.

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.
