The ABC's of College

A isn't for apples anymore...

The ABC's of College
Datacenter

We were taught our ABCs at such a young age but as time goes on, they resemble different things. I have listed below the ABCs of College.


A

A is for Amazon Prime. A service from Amazon that gives students 50% off of Prime for the first six months. I did not regret buying Amazon Prime because nothing is better than only waiting two days for a package.


B

B is for breakdowns, something you will have many times within your college years. B can also be for being broke, something we also all experience in college.


C

C is for cramming. You can cram in many ways. You can cram in studying for a test or a quiz. You can also cram in a nap.


D

D is for dorms. You will either love or hate you dorm. Either way, you are stuck with it until the year is over so make the most of it.


E

E is for experience. You experience a lot of things during college. You can be exposed to new things when you go away and meet people from all over.


F

F is for Freshman 15. You can run but you can't hide from it.


G

G is for http://www.grubhub.com. Grubhub has everything you need, whether it is for lunch or late night cravings.


H

H is for homework, something you either never get or never do.


I

I is for insomnia. You will have those "all nighters" in college.


J

J is for jobs, something you will constantly search for while you are in college. You can search for temporary jobs and or maybe jobs you are interested in spending the rest of your life working at.


K

K is for knowing who, what, how, where and when. Whether it is knowing what restaurants give student discounts, where there are dollar burger nights, or who to go to when you are in need, you will know exactly what to do.


L

L is for L, something you will take often in college. You will have good days, but you will also take L's.


M

M is for money, something you will have little of.


N

N is for naps. It does not matter how little time you have to do your assignment, you will still squeeze in a nap. Nothing goes better with a nap than Netflix.


O

O is for opportunities. You will not be handed opportunities, work hard in college and you might get lucky.


P

P is Pong. You will either win or lose, just try to be the best you can. P can also can for procrastinating. Either way, you will play pong and procrastinate at least one a week.


Q

Q is for quizzes. Your professor will either announce them or never announce them. Either way, try to be prepared for them.


R

R is for reading. Reading is something you might never do but your essay on that one book may prove different. We also can't forget about http://ratemyprofessor.com . Before choosing a class, you know that you better go on that website or else it will be the worst class of your life. You will be able to see if your Professor is a pushover or requires a lot of work.


S

S is for syllabus week. Syllabus week is the week that you find out how much of a pushover your professor is or is not.


T

T is for talking to people in your class to find out if they finished that paper or made a review. "Joe from English" comes in handy sometimes.


U

U is for utilizing your resources. Whether it be for projects or the weekend, you will find a way to get what you need.


V

V is for venting, something you will do to a close friend from home.


W

W is for working out, something you claim you will do 'tomorrow' but never do.


X

X is for eXcuses. You will find any excuse to miss a class but still claim you were 'sick' meanwhile all you wanted to do was nap or finish that one season you had left on Netflix.


Y

Y is for you are wasting your time and money. People spend too much time clubbing rather than getting an education, something their parents paid tuition to go to college for.


Z

Z is for zodiac signs, they do not mean a single thing. You will not meet the love of your life because she is a Libra and it was your 'time' for love.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
