10  Phone Conversations You’ll Have With Your Mom During Your First Semester Of College
Haley Blackburn

Your first semester of college is full of lots of questions, many of which only an expert could answer. In the case of your missing t-shirt or your need for your insurance card, the perfect expert to ask is your mom. Unfortunately, you're doing this whole adulting thing now, and she can't exactly tag alone (though sometimes you'll wish she could). Thankfully, we have the blessing of modern-day technology which makes her only a call or text away. Here are 10 phone calls you'll be making to your mom this semester:

1. “I forgot _________, and I really need it.”

I'm sure she knows where it is. She'll have it waiting at home for you the next time you come visit or she'll be super sweet and stick it in the mail.

2. “How do I make a doctors appointment? Do I even really need to go? Is it just allergies?”

These are all things you'll never know unless you call your mom (and of course, the doctor).

3. “I have four exams, three quizzes, and two papers due this week.”

Sometimes it's just good to vent about the enormous amount of work you have.

4. “So, where does the fabric softener go again?”

Washing machines are difficult, especially if you're new to doing your own laundry. Don't be afraid to ask.

5. “You won’t believe this.”

There is a lot of crazy stuff that happens in college (like a cow being on the loose on campus), and there is no one better to share a laugh with than your mom.

6. “I got such a good deal on these.”

Did you need those new Chacos? No, but they were 50 percent off, and no one loves a good deal better than Mom.

7. “Yes, I’m at my dorm.”

It may be a little hard for her to get used to you being away from home. If it gets to be late, you’ll probably get a phone call from Mom making sure you're safe and at your dorm

8. “Tell everyone I said hi and that I love them.”

It can be hard to make a phone call to everyone with such a busy schedule, but you still want them to know that you're thinking of them.

9. “I can’t make it home this weekend.”

This one is the toughest. Sometimes school and extracurriculars can get a bit overwhelming, and those extra two days seem like a saving grace. Trust me, she'll understand.

10. “I miss you.”

Leaving home is hard, and leaving your family is even harder. As time goes on, you'll get used to it, but during your first semester, it doesn't hurt to call and tell them how much you miss them every now and then.

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.
