Coffee with three shots of espresso, please!

A Day In The Life Of A College Student
Classes & Careers

College. The time to stay up all night, eat whatever you want, party, and enjoy the lack of responsibility. At least that's what you tell yourself it's for when you're having pizza for breakfast and trying to finish a paper at 4 a.m. because it's due in your 8 a.m. class. Everyone's had a day that looks like this, maybe even multiple, like weeks? Months? Hey, no shame, it's college.

7 a.m.

Alarm goes off because you told yourself you were going to wakeup extra early before your 9:00 class to finish all that work you didn’t do when you were binge-watching Netflix as a “study break” at 2 a.m. last night (or should I say morning?).

7:30 a.m.

Alarm goes off again because let’s be real, you didn’t get up the first time and probably won’t get up this time. At least you set the alarm though… that counts for something, right?

8 a.m.

Alarm goes off yet again. It’s at this moment you decide you’ll just wear a hat for the day instead of showering, odds are no one will even notice.

8:15 a.m.

A moment of despair. The snooze increments are getting smaller and soon that moment you’ve been avoiding for an hour now, is approaching.

8:30 a.m.

Inner moral struggle – to go to class or skip and get the notes from your friend? Your body’s probably telling you it physically cannot get up out of bed, no matter how much you want it to.

8:40 a.m.

Decide to sleep 5 minutes more and skip breakfast. Sleep > Food.

8:45 a.m.

WAKE UP. At this point you probably don’t even have time for breakfast. Just brush your teeth, throw that hat on, and get a cup of dry Cheerio’s.

9:01 a.m.

Arrive to class only 1 minute late. Swag.

9:01 a.m. to noon

Class, class, and more class. Did you do the reading for your Political Philosophy class? Probably not but improvisation is your thing.

Lunch:

Time for that coffee you’ve been craving all morning. Chug it and head to the library to finish the work for you afternoon classes.

1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

More class more class. This time, you’re proud because you raised your hand and actually said something in one of them. Good for you.

3:30 p.m.

Time to workout because today is the day you start eating healthy and running 7 miles instead of eating fries and pizza and watching Netflix.

5:30 p.m.

Dinner, thank goodness. It’s burgers, sweet potato fries, and freshly baked chocolate cookies, so there goes that healthy eating you told yourself you were starting. Sweet potatoes are a vegetable though so that’s good enough.

6:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Time to head to the library to start that mountain of work you saved for the day… But you can always get up extra early to finish it before class so no worries.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
