College: As Told By Friends
Metro News

The struggles of college are too real, no words are able to describe them. However, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey do a perfect job of communicating college feels.

1. Trying to make new friends freshman year like:

You don't have your high school friends anymore to walk around with you 24/7 so now you actually have to find people to hangout with. Most of us haven't done this since kindergarten and it can get a little awkward.

2. Roommate Struggles are too real sometimes

Roommates are hard to handle sometimes. This random person that you are living with can be completely opposite from you. Having a roommate that likes the room hot at night when you like it cold can make you want to cry. After you've taken off every article of clothing you possibly can and still sweating.

3. You realize walking to classes in the winter is the worst thing ever.

In January when it's -2 degrees out and you have to walk to the farthest building across campus for class. This is the time when you start to miss high school and only having to walk to your car or the bus stop to get to class.

4. Finals week has you like:

Hour 14, 7th cup of coffee, and still (barely) surviving.

5. You try to sound smart in class by answering a question and immediately regret that decision after you speak.

You formulated a great answer in your head but when it comes out of your mouth you sounded like a 2-year-old speaking for the first time.

6. When you regret your decision to schedule all 8 am classes.

You think it's a great idea to schedule 8 a.m.s but as you get further into the semester you realize your brain is not meant to handle that kind of interaction that early in the morning.

7. Midnight binge eating while studying feels

Studying is going great because you've been stuffing your face with chips and queso for the past hour. If you stop now, you'll most likely fail. Keep shoving that food in.

8. When you just don't know what you want anymore.

You can't make simple decisions anymore. The end of the semester comes and you start to loose your mind. Do you want food, sleep, Netflix, shower, gym, or do more studying? Tough decision.

9.You just have overall bad days sometimes.

You spilled your coffee on yourself, failed a quiz, the printer was broken so you couldn't print the paper for class, and the food in the dining hall was just especially terrible. Everyone has a bad day, some might have a bad week, others a bad semester. It always gets better. Hang in there.

10. Your family starts to comment on the little bit of weight you gained after the semester.

Family gatherings usually result in people commenting on the extra weight you put on since the last time they saw you. You just have to love your few extra pounds and own it.

11. After a long night of partying or bar hopping, you're really not feeling well the next day but you're just like:

You went out to the bar and partied way to hard on a Wednesday night, but it was a blast so you get up, get some coffee and strut across campus.

12. When college is over and you're just so not ready

Everyone is trying to make you feel OK about graduating, but you're silently crying on the inside.

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.
