As summer rolls to a close, college students across the country are preparing to move back onto their campuses. Eager freshman are probably running around your campus currently preparing for their first days in a new world, while you procrastinate packing (why do you think I'm writing this?) Although a majority of college students are dreading classes starting again, we all have one thing in common: we miss campus. Each campus has it's own unique way of life and different quirks, but here are ten things every Lindenwood University student definitely misses:

1. Pastries from the Spellmann Coffee Shop.

Donuts? Chocolate Long Johns? Cinnamon Rolls? Nothing says, "I'm late to class but need breakfast," like one of these sugary confections.

2. Easy access to Main Street.

Whether you're there for the daytime scene, nightlife, or just for a casual coffee break at Picasso's, you know you've thought at least once "wow, I could sure go for a $1.25 burger at Lloyd and Harry's."

3. Puppies. Everywhere.

Shout out to Five Acres Animal Shelter for lending us your furry friends. They can come back anytime, and they always have somewhere to stay (in my room, preferably.)

4. Never needing to cook for yourself.

OK, we technically can't miss our food because no one has had it yet but...

This year we have ALL NEW CHOICES. Chick-fil-a, Qdoba, and a new coffee shop are gracing our campus with their heavenly presences. Cha-ching.

5. Mount Roemer.

I'm completely kidding. No one's ready for that work out. Cheers to showing up to class sweaty!

6. But... Butler Library, though.

Let's be real, everyone misses Butler because they miss impromptu naps when they're supposed to be doing something important.

7. Being only a text away from your friends.

Sure, summer is fun and all until you can't call your friends and go out for food within five minutes because they, well... don't live two doors down from you.

8. The constant stream of random Yaks.

We all know one thing: hometown Yik Yak sucks. Lindenwood's Yaks tend to be wild and sometimes out of hand (pineapple dude, RRG?) but definitely more fun than any other campus' Yaks I've seen. Keep on Yakking, kids.

9. Grab 'n' Go Pizza.

I just miss Grab 'n' Go and pavilion food in general. Maybe they'll start combining puppy visits with the pavilion food days.

10. Being viral on the Internet for wild geese.

This will go hands down as one of the funniest things to ever occur on campus. Who knew that homicidal geese could launch us into the world of Internet fame?

One thing is for sure, no matter how much we hate the daily grind, everyone loves being back on campus. Here's to another successful year!

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
