12 Reasons College Is A Bitch

I have no money. Sleep is a foreign experience. I miss my dogs. Please send help.

1. College or hell, who knows

I don't care what time of day it is as soon as you walk outside the heat punches you in the face and you're covered in sweat before you even get to your first class.

2. Textbooks cost more than my house

$638 for a freaking book and an access code, are you freaking serious right now?

5. Having anxiety makes it impossible to make friends easily 

Someone asked me what country I would visit if I could go anywhere and I said Europe. I said a freaking continent.

6. Parking is a thing of the past 

Apparently Clemson thought 50 parking spots was enough for 50 million people.

7. Not knowing what you want to do with your life but feeling obligated to pick a major

Two days into college I had dropped two classes and changed my major from Animal and Veterinary Sciences to Psychology and now I'm still not sure that's what I want to do.

8. You get 3,000 emails a day 

10/10 I receive more emails than text messages everyday.

9. Clean bathrooms are a rare occasion 

Pee everywhere. Toilet seat. Sink. Floor. Trashcan. Shower. Everywhere.

10. Doing laundry at 3am is the new norm

Always wanted a black eye? The laundry room is the place for that. People will literally fight you over a dryer.

11. Sleep is for the weak

I used to think going to bed at 11:30 was late. Ha! I'm lucky if I'm in bed by 2 these days.

12. Tuition costs are a bitch all by themselves 

Was literally walking out the door to go get food and got an email for first semester bills and had to walk right back inside my house and fix myself some cereal.

College sucks. There's no doubt about it, but I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. Walking 20 miles a day, living off of pop tarts and never getting any sleep is so going to be worth it once I get that degree in my hands.

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.
