For most people, college is not easy. Harder still, is moving from a small two year program to a bigger school, with more competition, and higher standards. The new faces, the new places, it can all be rather overwhelming. Here are seven transfer student problems, as told by the characters from The Emperor's New Groove.

1. One of the first transfer student problems, is that frustrating personal statement paper.

If you're anything like me, it's a month and a half past the due date and before you know it, there are three days left before your first class and you still have to account for snail mail delays. You'll be writing about how ready you are to move up and continue your education, and how you could be an asset to the university, as you are a model student. It ends up taking fifteen minutes to write and it looks like this...

2. Then, you're there at this huge new campus with ten times the number of buildings...

...and an out-dated, tiny, poor excuse of a map (but of course it's necessary, it;s just a reference. You've been through this before, you know how to navigate a college campus).

Then again, maybe not. Now you've walked into the wrong class five minutes late.

And wouldn't you know it, you're also on the wrong side of campus.

3. Moving up to a bigger college, it's not quite as easy to connect with the professors, and get on their good side. Networking can seem almost impossible in a new place.

4. With a higher student population, there is often a wide range of intellectual diversity.

5. Moving away from your hometown college clearly has its challenges, but one of the worst is leaving all of your friends behind.

6. Now you almost miss those awful ice-breakers,

because making new friends isn't as easy as it used to be.

7. And in some cases, the work (and the work load) can be so much more difficult at a bigger school.

But despite these seemingly devastating new transitions, you'll surely grow to love your transfer college. Two to four years is surely enough time to learn the places and the faces. You might even make some good friends.

You've been prepping for all the hard work since day one. And teaming up with a friend will make it a breeze.

And plus, a bigger campus means more cafe's and restaurants. Which means Starbucks, Tim Horton's, diners, buffets, and more... Which means your snack and meal-time experiences can go from this...

to this...

So, learn to love your new campus. Because time will fly, and just as soon as you start to get comfortable, it'll be time again to move on to bigger and better things. Change can be hard, but often it can be beneficial. Good luck transfer students!

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.
