Predictions For Sophomore Year Of College

As millions of high school students prepare to go into their first year of college, the online articles from Buzzfeed and the Pinterest boards for dorm decor are flooding social media accounts nationwide. Freshman year is very important in terms of what to anticipate, expect and hope for, and being prepared is, as DJ Khaled would say, a major key.

This article, however, is dedicated to my fellow sophomores, and really any college returner. As high school seniors transition to college, college students at every level are making transitions of their own. So, as the Class of 2019 prepares for round two, here are some things I expect to go down.

1. Walking in like you own the place

Remember how nervous we were during move-in? "Am I an adult? Will I make new friends? Will I like my professors?" With a whole year down, we will definitely have more confidence and attitude.

2. Judging freshmen. Judging them hard.

"How can you not know where your classes are? It's not that big of a campus ..."

3. Rekindling with your college squad.

Especially relatable for out-of-state students who had to go a whole summer without seeing their one-year-old college friendships.

4. Thinking about this little thing called "the rest of your life

During freshman year, you were able to knock out a lot of general education courses and buy some time. But narrowing down to a specific major/minor will be a difficulty many sophomores this year will face.

5. #Adulting

Let's be honest: during freshman year most of us lived in an on-campus dorm that was taken care of by maintenance and patrolled by RAs. We ate at dining halls or greek houses. We went home constantly. As many of us transition to off-campus apartments, we will be cleaning and cooking. We will need to deal with roommates on our own. While we gain a little more independence, easy mac and ramen will always have a place in our hearts.

All in all, college students need to stick together. If you see a freshie sitting alone at a table, sit with them. If they look lost, guide them. Because, as the following Kristen Wiig gifs below will prove, we have more similarities than differences.

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.
