10 Signs You Might Be A ROC Leader
Amanda Burns

Your countdown clock is finally at zero, your room is full of boxes and your hearts are full of Benedictine Spirit. You have already sung the fight song seven times and you are ready to sing it 40 more. You bleed red and black, you have changed your middle name to Raven, you are a ROC leader. Here are just a few signs that you might be a ROC leaders:


1. Every time you hear clapping you immediately start the fight song

Anytime you hear that familiar slow clap you know what is coming. Sometimes you even sing it in your sleep. Ravens always fly on high.

2. You have mastered the art of dancing on chairs

Those arm rests may be small but you can really get your grove on.


3. You know the story of the founding of Benedictine College by heart

One dark night Father Henry Lemke was on his way back to Atchison when it started to rain...

4. You have developed killer leg muscles from all the stairs you climb on Freshman Move In Day

Somehow it seems like every freshman lives on the fourth floor and you're not sure how many more mini fridges you can carry up there. But as we always say, "Forward, Always forward."


5. You are able to remember 15 people's names at super human speed

Without a doubt at least one of your ROCies will never know your name but at least you know theirs


6. You can create a masterpiece out of $20 and a trip to the dollar store

It's amazing what you can create with a little puff paint and some googly eyes.

7. Nothing embarrasses you

You're not afraid to act like a fool, dance on chairs or let out your goofy side in the tradition skits

8. A little part of you is just excited for the good food at the Beanie Banquet

Lets be honest, any time you get the opportunity to eat something other than caf food you jump on it

9. You have found a way to be friendly and full of energy at 8 am no matter how late you were up the night before

It just takes a little will power and a lot of coffee


10. You get excited to move in early so you can hang out with all you friends, who are also ROC leaders, before school starts

As every ROC leader knows, Once a Raven always a Raven.

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.
