Moving Into College As A Freshman Is Total Madness

Moving into college, as a freshman, and the craziness that comes along with it.

Moving Into College As A Freshman Is Total Madness
Emily Saravia

Every college student deals with moving into their dorm if they are staying on campus. But what no one tells you is how hectic the whole moving in situation really is.

Unloading cars is the craziest part. You put everything on the curb and move your car so the next people can pull up to empty their cars. Then you bring everything to your room which is more than likely going to be on an upper floor. Bringing in your things is crazy because everyone is trying to do everything all at once. Everyone is in everyone's way and you become impatient, hot and sweaty. You can either wait for the elevator, which is massively slow from all the people using it, or you can carry your 59-pound items up three flights of stairs.

After the things are up and in your room is when you can finally breathe and relax. Personally, however, I find unpacking and decorating the room the hardest part of the move in process. It takes time and patience and creativity. All of which I lack whenever I'm wore out from bringing up box after box to the third floor.

On the plus side, everyone helping us move in is incredibly kind and helpful. They are more than willing to lend a hand and help you move in and that makes a world of difference.

Once you've officially moved in, decorated and made your room your new home, the realization finally hits you that this is it. This is you moving out and becoming an adult. It's the beginning of your life and it's all up to you from here.

Having a good move in experience is important to have a positive and happy first day and college experience.

You start your own destiny today, so make it count.

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.
