10 Signs You're A Kent State Student
Construction Support Solutions

1. Seeing a black squirrel is an everyday normal occurrence for you.

Kent has been populated with black squirrels for over fifty years. They are everywhere, and they are not afraid to come right up to you.

2. All your friends are either fashion or nursing majors.

Kent State is nationally rank and very popular for fashion as well as nursing. You have at least one friend of each.

3. May 4th has meaning to you.

The shooting of May 4th is a touchy subject for you, but you are proud the memorial on campus has recently been named a national historic landmark.

4. You know people from all over the world.

Kent state is crazy diverse. You know people from every continent. Odds are, the kid sitting next to you in stats doesn't even speak english.

5. You are constantly dealing with construction.


Kent is always modernizing and updating. For you, that means waking up an extra 15 mins early to take the longer route to class. The construction never stops.

6. You've ordered cookies at 2 am.


There's nothing better than fresh delivered insomnia cookies. Trust me.

7. You've stood in line for a half hour just for some chicken fingers.

Going to Rosie’s with a group of friends always sounds like a good idea until you walk in and see the line to order wrapped three times around the lobby.

8. You steer clear of Risman Plaza on your way to class just to dodge protestors.

No matter whats going on, theres always something to protest about. There's always flyers being tossed around. You’d rather just mind your own business.

9. You've never seen a snow day in your life.

Nothing is worse than waking up on a snowy day to a Flash Alert letting you know that every branch campus is closed due to snow. Main campus never shuts down.

10. The wind tunnel has nearly blown you away. (more than once)

You've invested in a windbreaker and marched through the plaza praying not to get swooped away.

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.
