The Top 5 Things College Student Hate the Most

Don't sit there! That's my unofficial signed seat!

The Top 5 Things College Student Hate the Most
Tumblr

After starting my sophomore year, I have come to the conclusion that there are 5 things that any college student will tell you they hate right away. You just might agree.

1. Taking a 7:45

I get it if you’re a freshman transitioning into college life, but even after the first time you have to wake up and go in to a 7:45am class, you are going to be dreading it. There’s just something different from waking up for high school versus waking up for college. If you haven’t experienced this yet, don’t.


2. The awkward waiting

Walking into a crowded hallway full of people standing or sitting along the sides is just a little nerve racking, especially if you have anxiety, but you better learn how to deal with it if you want to get a seat that makes you comfortable. I hate this the most, I believe, because it’s just so quiet and strangely awkward. People don’t like making friends, and sitting on the floor next to the boy who hasn’t showered in 4 days for an hour makes me question my college career.


3. Someone stealing your unofficial signed seat

Come on! I’ve sat here a majority of the year. Don’t just come in and sit down in my seat. I literally have just started getting used to the people I’m sitting by. Now I have to sit by complete strangers again? You can bet I’m going to be glaring at you for the rest of the class. Stay in the seat you’ve sat in since day one!

4. Textbooks

We don’t even use these things. Professors say they are required, but my advice to anyone is to wait until you actually need one. In my college life I have bought 12 textbooks and have only used one. Get a buddy. Read theirs if you need to. It’ll save you $2,000.


5. Parking

Colleges should be on top of this by now considering this isn’t their first rodeo. Get a parking garage. If there’s still an overflow, build another! You’re sucking us dry anyways! Might as well make us purchase someone we actually need.

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.
