To All The Incoming College Freshmen, Everything Is Going To Be Just Fine

Hey you, stop worrying! I know that it is right around the corner and that everything seems like it's coming at you at light speed. But it is okay, everything is happening how it needs to, in the time it needs to happen. Worrying about what's to come is okay and normal, but also there's no need to fret! You're going to do great in school.

That Doesn't mean there won't be bumps in the road.

College is going to be a blast, but it will also be one of the most taxing things you have done so far. It takes work, effort, tears, and stress to get through it. You will miss your parents, you will miss your dog, you will even miss the amount of homework you had in high school. But it will all be worth it because college is one of the most rewarding experiences you will have.


You're going to make so many friends.

...Some of them may be your roommates.


You're going to do so many new things.

...Like taking a best friend to a hockey game.


You're going to have some rough days.

...Like ending up in the hospital away from your parents.


But through all the ups and downs, stick through it. Persevere. Stay strong and true to yourself, because at the end of the day you will be SO proud of what you have accomplished when you look back. You have your own back, and you know what's best for you and how to take care of yourself.

Advocate for you.

Most Important of all, have fun. The golden rule for all things applies in college as well. Have a blast and take every experience head-on. Stop stressing about what if's and maybes and start anticipating all of the awesome memories you'll have in college. You've got this!

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.
