Perspectives Of A College Senior:

There's 3 of Them

Perspectives Of A College Senior:

I almost fainted writing the title for this article. Why you ask? Well it's because there is not a single fiber in my body that wants to graduate college. However, no matter how much I can deny it, this is the last ride. That being said knowing that you're graduating soon makes you think a lot about your time in college. It also makes you realize a few things about being the big-people on campus, and today I will be going over a few of those things.

Thing 1: Freshmen look like children

Ah yes, the ultimate sign that you are getting older and graduating soon. Looking at a wide-eyed 18 year old and thinking of them as someones 12 year old sibling wandering campus. It's weird though to think about how you never saw your freshman self like that.They all look so happy and full of hope and it breaks your heart every time, because you know that the reality of the semester will soon set in and they too will be full of pain and suffering. But hey, for a second it's nice to see those eager freshman to remind yourself how you felt your first year away at school.

Thing 2: You actually start to (finally) take classes for your major

Yes, the day you thought would never come, the day your classes are actually relevant to your major. No more sitting at your computer fighting against other students to get into a class thats actually in your major. No longer do you have to sit in another History lecture or a Psychology 101 class (unless, you know, that's your major). Is it a lot harder? Yes. Will it keep getting harder? Probably. Am I going to cry? Good chance. However, none of that matters because it will all be over soon...

Thing 3: The crushing reality that this time next year...you won't be at college

Welcome adulthood, I don't recall letting you in. But it doesn't matter because whether you like it or not in a short time you're going to have to be a real functioning member of society. Scary right? Almost makes you want to cry (actually does make me want to cry). No longer will I be able to stay out until 3am drinking 1$ beers and stumbling into class at 8am. No longer will I be able to take the recommended 2 naps a day. Pizza will more than likely no longer be a dietary staple, and coffee will also probably going back to being a beverage instead of a food group. Actually I take the coffee part back, that stuff is essential to all life.

So in closing I would just like to remind all of my college friends to seize every oppurtunity you can to enjoy college. After all, these are the best 4 years of our lives.

Yours Truly,

Ryan Jordan

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.
