10 Signs You're An HLGU Trojan
Alisha Ramsey

So, like I have said in previous articles, I am about to go into my junior year at Hannibal LaGrange University. And to be completely honest, I am really excited, but also pretty terrified. The real world is just around the corner. However, the point is that I feel like I know the students, faculty and school itself pretty well. So I am going to give past and present students something to relate to.

Here we go — 10 Signs You're An HLGU Trojan:

Sign #1:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you have seen the bell flipped upside-down more than you have seen it right-side up.

Sign #2:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you know everyone on campus. Or at least know of everyone on campus. It's pretty small.

Sign #3:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you see the Theatre people and the Wrestlers eating dinner together.

Sign #4:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you have noticed that Dr. Bergen could probably out run you. After you have noticed this you start thinking about how you should probably take advantage of that free membership at the YMCA.

Sign #5:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you either hate or love the concept of "Ring By Spring". There really is no in between.

Sign #6:

You are an HLGU Trojan if your teachers know you by your first name instead of just another number.

Sign #7:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you sometimes feel like life at HLG would be a great reality show with all of the quirky and fun stuff that happens on campus. Plus, the people on campus are pretty entertaining. Who wouldn't want to watch it? You have comedy, drama, romance. I mean, I would watch it.

Sign #8:

You are an HLGU Trojan if you have lost track of how many times you have skipped chapel.

Sign #9:

You're an HLGU Trojan if the singing competition at your school has more choreography than singing.

Sign #10:

You're an HLGU Trojan if you pay money to go out with a guy. AKA The Date Auction.

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.
