45 Thoughts College Students Have The Summer BEFORE Senior Year

I've spent three years in college. That's 1,095 days, 26,280 hours, 6 semesters, 74 credit hours, countless nights studying, a few partying, a regret or two, heartbreaks, friendships, and the absolute best and worst times of my life. That being said, the last three years have been absolutely exhausting, and I cannot WAIT to be done.

...or can I?

As I prepare to enter into my last year of college and eventually venture off into the real world, I can't help but have these thoughts.

1. How can I possibly make it through two more semesters?

2. If I have to take a Friday class, I'm dropping out.

3. Am I graduated yet?

4. What am I doing with my life?

5. My degree is useless. I'm wasting my time.

6. Maybe I can just stay in school...How bad can a doctorate really be?

7. My school is so pretty

8. I can't leave my friends

9. I'm not cut out for the real world

10. Can I still call my mom for help when I graduate?

11. Oh crap, I'll have to actually get a gym membership

12. Why is everyone engaged?!

13. How did I get so old?

14. Paying back student loans should be optional

15. I have to make the most out of this year

16. Can I make it through without buying textbooks?

17. Nope, I still don't know what I'm doing after graduation

18. I'm fine. This is fine.

19. The semester hasn't even started, but I'm still not doing the assigned reading

20. Can I just take yoga all day?

21. How much coffee have I consumed the last three years?

22. Is it too late to find a sugar daddy?

23. What about the lottery?

24. Can I get a redo? I wasn't ready.

25. Wait, adults don't wear leggings every day do they?

26. Am I going to move back home?

27. Does this mean I actually have to start cooking? ... like full meals?

28. How long is it acceptable to keep wearing college apparel?

29. I've still got time

30. Graduation is still a full year away. I don't have to panic yet...

31. ... Does anyone actually know how to do taxes?

32. C's get degrees, right?

33. Maybe my internship will just hire me when the year is up

34. Do I really need to work this summer?

35. I've got like three months. I don't have to worry about school, books, or classes yet.

36. How do the bars stay open when all the students leave?

37. Is it too late to study abroad?

38. At least I'm not a Freshman

39. Will I have to give up naps?

40. You're not an alcoholic until you graduate.

41. Why is everything in the real world so expensive?

42. How long can I keep coming home to steal my parents' food?

43. I love my school.

44. Maybe I can pick up another major?

45. That settles it. I'm never leaving.

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. 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.
