15 First Semester Moments As Told By Phoebe Buffay

From late night binge-eating to 8 a.m. classes and everything in between, college is like a rollercoaster that seemingly never ends. Sometimes, you just wanna jump off, and other times, you find yourself screaming along with the ride. As the fall semester nears its' end, it might be time to reminisce on some key moments that accurately portray the experience so far.

1. The confusion (and sadness) you feel when you have to leave your friends, family, and home.

And you're not sure if you will survive without your bed and a fully stocked kitchen.

2. When you want to make new friends.

But fail miserably.

3. Syllabus week, when there's no real classes and no responsibilities.

Is this what college is like all the time?!

4. When you see something for the first time that you wish you could un-see.

It's a learning experience.

5. When you try to help your friend at 3 a.m.

But this is the only thing you can come up with.

6. When you try to help your friend at 11 a.m.

Honesty is the best policy.

7. When your professor tells you that you have an exam tomorrow.

*Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside*

8. When your friend asks you for help with an assignment.

Sorry honey, I've got my own problems.

9. When you've adopted a new motto.

Something to live by for the next four years.

10. When your home friends ask you "how's college?"

And you actually mean it.

11. When you're waiting for your late night pizza.

These are some of the happiest moments.

12. When you've had enough of sharing a small box with another human being.

Because it's bound to happen at some point.

13. When this becomes the theme song of your life.

Just accept it and move on.

14. When you start to question your decisions.


They might be a little weird or crazy, but you would not survive without them.

15. When the semester is ending and you look back at all the memories you've made.

Good or bad, you'll remember it all.

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.
