If You're A Senior Heading To College... Get Ready.

Going to college is a big deal to people. It’s a big honor to be accepted into it. Although freshman is in for a big shock when they first get there. Lots of changes are going to happen to them and they will either love it or hate it. There are a couple of things that will be a lot different than living with their parents then living at college.

1. The Bathroom

There are a lot of changes to a bathroom when going to college. Especially with girls. They leave hair on the shower wall, hair products and their hair straighteners and curling irons. For boys, they are usually just messy in general.



2. Roommates/suitemates

Roommates

and suitemates can be hard to get along with. The roommates can have different

personalities and clash all of the time, and suitemates can get on your nervous

and clash with each other with all of their mess, and leave you to clean up the mess (Trust me, I know)

3. Class

The classes will be much bigger than they were in high school, or they could be smaller. Depends on what class you are in. You may not get to know everyone in the classroom because it is to big.


4. Making friends

Making friends could be easy or hard. There are lots of people in college, so you may

find friends easy by being in a dorm or in just a classroom.


5. Teachers

Teachers are much tougher in college than they are in high school. They expect more of you because now they are in college, and not a high schooler. Assignments are due earlier, teachers are tough at grading and homework is harder.



6. Homework

Like I said homework will get tougher. You may not want to do it at first, but you know you will be graded on it and you need a good grade. You also have to have time to do homework and sometimes you just get busy and don’t think about the homework you have to do.



7. Money

Most of you will probably not have jobs. So you would not have any money. It could get a little frustrating and difficult if you want to go out to get food or go out for the night with friends. You may want to buy something, but cannot afford anything.



8. Healthy eating

Everyone knows the saying "the freshman 15", but it is not true. You may gain some weight, but not that much. The dining hall food can get pretty disgusting after a while, so you want to have something other than that food so you go out. Probably to a fast food restaurant with non-healthy food so you can gain weight with that kind of food.

9. Time Management

You have to manage your time wisely. Maybe setting a schedule could be a good thing or spread your time out. You may have other arrangements to do, but you also need to get certain things done so you need to figure out when to do things that are important.

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.

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.
