10 Thoughts During My First Week Of SCCC
Start Up

Going into my sophomore year at Suffolk Community College has made me realize College outside the classroom is just as hard as inside. Us students face many complications whether it is inside the classroom, outside the classroom, or even pulling into the school itself. I've come to realize a lot of thoughts have went through my head while walking through my first week of my sophomore year.

1. Parking...

"I'M GOING TO CUT SOMEONE OFF. HAHA. WOOPS SORRY NOT SORRY." If you go to Suffolk or any local university or community college, you know the struggle and you know these words have been inside your head. Attempting to park in the school lots are ridiculous. The ratio of students to parking spots is not even close to being accurate.

2. Why is half my high school here?

When I was in high school, I saw everybody post Instagram pictures saying they were going to SUNY Oneonta, LIU, New Paltz, etc... but they are all here. I didn't talk in high school and when I see people who I awkwardly know, I kind of have to put my head down. I thought I was never going to see you walk the halls again...

3. How do I make friends?

My social game... WEAK. I don't even know how to make friends or talk to anybody. I always feel like everybody is giving me a weird look and thinks I have an attitude problem. I am sorry I have resting b*tch face, I can't help it. I swear I am nice!!!

4. Do I have to hide my phone or can I just keep it out?

This is a major problem that I have in College. I need my phone at all times just in case of an important call and/or text. Anything can happen at any given time and because a professor is against texting I feel is irrational to us as students. Us students pay a couple of grand to attend College and if we are paying our bills and putting in our payments, I feel it is our right to have our phones and be able to send as many texts as we want to or can.

5. You smell like B/O.. Thank you

Please, just wear some deodorant and a fresh clean pair of pants. I know it is hot out but that is why perfume, cologne, and deodorant were invented.

6. *on break* I am so lonely, where are my friends?

It's close to impossible to be on the same breaks as all your friends. I casually stroll into the cafe and send a text to every friend I can possibly think of who goes to Suffolk. I picked late classes and I struggle with finding somebody to sit with every Tuesday and Thursday. Someone be my friend and sit with me...

7. Thanks Suffolk for the geotag.

Loading all the stories on snapchat, why not take a selfie? Scrolling through the filters and effects, I see a "lets go sharks" geotag. Thank you for making my selfie that much cuter as I am sitting in the shark tank... wink wink.

8. Was this the best choice to attend Community College?

Even though most of my thoughts are somewhat negative, I still love attending Community College. It is close to home, I am not as poor as the average college student. I can maintain my school work, my weak social life and being able to work almost full time while doing 15 credits. School work in my own bed is much better then sitting in a dorm without my family and friends.

9. Am I going to meet my soul mate this semester?

Oops, probably not, lets be real Amanda.

10. Is there seriously a mom in my class?

Goes around the classroom and says an interesting fact out about yourself. "Hi my name is Darla and I have 5 kids and a grandkid." WHAT THE HECK

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
