No worries freshman, you're not alone.

Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year
University of Delaware

Freshman, you're not alone. As we enter the Fall 2016 semester, we juniors are scrambling around like chickens with our heads cut off too. It's almost as if the clocks were turned back two years because we are oddly unfamiliar with the campus. Between moving out of the dorms into new homes, learning to adult (i.e. food shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.), and realizing graduate school applications are quickly approaching, we juniors are beginning this school year quite flustered.

So if you happen to notice students making these rookie mistakes on campus, do not just assume they are freshman because they may just as well be the confused juniors of the world.

1. Walking into the wrong class on the first day


2. Googling the campus map to find the building your class is in


3. Setting your class schedule as your lock screen


4. Misjudging how long it takes to walk to class, so you show up super early or super late


5. Forgetting what times your classes are


6. Answering questions the first week of classes and being the first name your professors learn


7. Trying to go to the gym at the beginning of the year --> constantly standing around waiting for machines


8. Realizing you forgot a million things at home when you unpack


9. Microwaving ramen for dinner even though you have a full kitchen



10. Showing up to parties the first weekend with every friend you've ever met in college

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.
