What It's Like Being An Old Woman Stuck In A College Student's Body

It may come as a surprise to some, but there are many college students who prefer a quiet night in instead of a crowded room filled with alcohol and loud music. Not every college student enjoys is the typical "party on the weekends" type of lifestyle and that is perfectly OK. There is not a right way to do college as everyone's experience is very different. Here's what it's like being an old woman stuck in a college student's body.

You prefer quiet nights in.

Not everyone finds a crowded and loud atmosphere to be all that fun and exciting. There really isn't anything appealing about shoving your way through a group of drunk people packed together like sardines. Odds are you prefer to spend your nights catching up on your favorite shows and hanging out with friends. You're all about the quiet lifestyle and you wouldn't change it for anything.

You're in your PJ's by 8 p.m.

While everyone else is crowding around the mirrors in the bathrooms getting ready to go out, you're getting ready to snuggle up in bed with some popcorn and watch a movie. This is something you've been looking forward to all day. You simply do not understand how wearing a short dress and heels is more fun than lounging around in sweats.

You're that one person doing laundry on a Saturday night.

While everyone is out and about, you have your choice of which laundry machine to use! See, you're the real winner here because you don't have to wait for someone else to take their clothes out of the washer. No people, no problems. Being a college student and having limited time, laundry is important. You can only re-wear clothes so many times.

You're the designated "mom" of your friend group.

At times you may feel like you're watching over a group of 10-year-olds but you love them anyways. Whenever one of your friends has a problem or needs advice they come to you. You make sure everyone is taken care of and you're friends always know they can count on you.

You're the queen of napping.

Only have 20 minutes in between classes? Not a problem. You need your daily naps to help you through the day and function like a normal human being. They can easily make or break your college experience. It's like being a parent but just without any children.

You have your set schedule and that's not going to change.

"Yeah sorry I can't tonight 'Grey's Anatomy' is on." You know your routine and you stick to it no matter what. It might be only a TV show to some but this is seriously something that I can not miss.

You'll never truly understand some of your peers, but your lifestyle is something you wouldn't change for anything.

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.
