Things WT Seniors Wished as a Freshman to Accomplish Before Graduation

There are always things we wish would accomplish, but usually never do - like a New Year's Resolution or a bucket list.

In less than two months, hundreds of seniors will walk the stage and graduate from WT, myself included. So, after thinking about this (and maybe slightly fearing it) I thought of a couple things I remember as a freshman hoping I would accomplish by the time I was a senior. Most of these I have definitely not accomplished, but hey, maybe some of the other seniors have! So here goes:

  1. To take the stairs to the top of the CC without sounding like the big bad wolf about to huff and puff the little piggy's house down.
    1. It's a thing. I personally feel like I might die of an asthma attack afterwards, but I am out of shape, so hopefully other seniors have fared better here.
  2. To figure out what they are going to do with their life.
    1. Yeah, life decisions are a big deal, especially a life decision about what you will do for the rest of your life. It's hard. I still don't know.
  3. To get rid of the freshman 15.
    1. Ha. Ha! HA! Definitely did not happen for me, but that's okay!
  4. To go into the Buffalo Fountain platform without getting in trouble.
    1. I have heard stories of people doing this. I personally don't think I would make the jump without actually falling in and like breaking my ankle. But good luck to all the rest of you guys!
  5. To use all of their meal plan at least once
    1. One time I only had two left. I felt like the most accomplished person ever. But now I am lucky it its below 60.
  6. To graduate with a 4.0
    1. Sometimes you pick a major that you actually 100% not meant for and you get a B. That's okay. But also lots of classes are really hard. Like Organic Chemistry, if you make it out with a B, props to you, you are my hero.
  7. To have a plan after graduation
    1. Career Services has lots of great options and opportunites to help you figure what you want to do. They rock, use them!
  8. To make it through four years without pulling an all-nighter
    1. Procrastination is a thing, which sometimes results in needing the whole night before to prepare yourself. It happens to the best of us and the worst of us.
  9. To find a partner, best friend, soulmate, etc.
    1. At this age, everyone is asking you if you are seeing anyone or if you've met anyone, or, like in my case, everyone from your close family to your distant relatives to people from your church trying to play match-maker.
  10. Oh and to figure out what they are going to do with their life
    1. This one deserves to be mentioned twice because, well, life is hard and scary.

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.
