The 13 Phases Of A College Student's November

If you're like most people, then you're probably starting to get in the holiday spirit because November has finally arrived! Maybe you're starting to plan your Thanksgiving feast or getting some early Christmas shopping out the way. Perhaps you're sitting outside enjoying the nice fall breeze while sipping a pumpkin spice latte. Odds are, if you're in college, you're not doing anything remotely close to that! When you're in college, November just doesn't seem as magical as it used to. Our GPAs are dropping faster than the temperature, and while the cold air once reminded us of nights spent nestled on the couch with a warm cup of hot chocolate, it now reminds us of fast approaching deadlines and exams. Here's what college students go through during November!

1. When the Halloween candy goes on sale on November 1st.

Give me all the candies!

2. When you realize you only have a month to bring up your GPA.

3. Trying to figure out exactly what you've learned in the last three months.

What classes am I even taking?!

4. Frantically trying to schedule for next semester.

5. Seeing that all of the classes you wanted to take are full.

6. Waking up before 10 A.M. is nearly impossible.

7. When you look at all of the due dates coming up.

8. Having to get out of your nice, warm bed and walk to class in the freezing cold.

9. When you realize finals are next month.

10. Thinking about all the food you're gonna eat at Thanksgiving.

I'm gonna bust it up!!!

11. Questioning if you're even cut out to be in college.

12. Calculating the minimum amount of work you need to do in order to pass.

Always remember - C's get degrees!

13. When you remember there's only one month standing between you and winter break!

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.
