Sophomore Year Worries

Concerns I have before starting my sophomore year of college.

Sophomore Year Worries
UsNews

In about a month, I will be starting my sophomore year of college. I am very excited to start taking classes more focused on my major, but I also have a few worries in the back of my mind. Sophomore year is going to be a total 360 from freshman year, and that both excites me and frightens me.

Last year, I had major roommate issues. So the fact that sophomore year is approaching and I am going to be living with a few new people, I'm worried I will again have issues. I am going to try and remain on the bright side and hope that the new roommates will be nice and easy going. One can only hope for the best, I just wish I wasn't worried.

The internet connection on campus last year was terrible. I basically had to go over my uncle and cousin's house every time I needed to do an assignment for class. I'm worried that nothing was done to improve the connection for students and I will yet again, have to rely on family so I can do my school work on time. I know many other students who lived on campus had issues with the Wi-Fi, so to go into my sophomore year and know that nothing was done to fix the problem, worries me. I worry that my school work won't get done in time because I wouldn't have access to internet.

I am worried that I won't like the classes I am scheduled to take and that I will want to change my major completely. Right now, my major is set to be business management. I have never taken a business course, but I feel like it would be great to focus on the hospitality side of management and I could one day own/run my own hotel. However, since I am going into these classes with no business background, I am worried I will be a couple weeks into my classes and not be happy with what I choose as my major. I am hoping that I lucked out and that my classes interest me, at least enough to keep business management as my major.

Finances worry me going into my sophomore year. I want to be able to support myself and hopefully get my own apartment sometime within the near future, along with a vehicle. However, I only have a part-time job and I worry that I won't be able to save any time soon to have and do the things I want. More importantly, I want to be able to get my own place. I love the area that my school is in, and the fact that I am not a fan of dorm living will make me happier once I don't have to do it. Getting my own place is top priority but it's also a worry because I also need money for food and other necessities.

Going into my sophomore year, I have many worries. The only thing that is making me not stress as much, is the fact that everything will work out just maybe not at the pace I want. I am just going to tackle it all one thing at a time and I know it will all fall in place at the end.

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.

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.
