The Struggle Of College...

The struggle in college, not knowing what you want to do for your entire life. Every college student is going through the phase of figuring out what they would like to do with the rest of their lives. But as a senior, I still don't have a clue. Coming into college at 18, as a young adult, who would know what they would like to do? If you had it figured out, well, go you.

The struggle in college, changing your major more than once. Most students will change their major once, if not more. That's great for the university, because that means more money for them.

The struggle in college, waking up for that early 8 a.m. class that you skip half of the time. Having an 8 a.m. honestly is the worst, but it's the only time the class is offered, and you need it that semester because it's a prerequisite for another class you need the following semester.

The struggle in college, being tired. Most professors love planning tests around the same time. Students dislike it. Or, most do, anyway. That means an all-nighter, and just about every college student has stayed up all night at least once in their college career.

The struggle in college, finding a job, The town where your university is located is probably small, but if not, then you have an advantage. Living in a small town and dealing with school, homework, and then finding a job that will fit with your schedule can be difficult.

The struggle in college, being poor. So unless you're wealthy, the average college student struggles with financial problems. Paying for all the bills and then adding on additional organizations adds up.

The struggle in college, not finding a good man or woman. Nobody really wants a "relationship" in college. Most students just want someone to be there for them when needed: a night out every once in a while, so they don't have to be tied down,

The struggle in college, never looking cute for class. So you're walking to class and you see a girl dressed up, and you're staring at her, just wondering why. Most girls now wear and XL t-shirt when they should be wearing a small, and over-sized sweatpants with a hat thrown on, because they haven't washed their hair in a week.

The struggle in college, realizing it's senior year and you still have no idea what you're doing after college. But, one day, it will hit you. God will speak, and you will listen, and He will lead you down the road of success.

God has the most amazing plan for you. Jeremiah 29:11.

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.
