When people ask where you are from or where you live and you answer "Greenville," the response you probably get is, "Oh Greenville, South Carolina?" No no just good old Greenville, North Carolina! Whether you were born in Greenville, North Carolina or have only lived here for a short time, I bet you can relate to some if not all of these listed below.

1. Pirate football is life.


ECU football is not just a game they play in Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium, but it is a lifestyle. People live and breathe for football in Greenville. It is the best time of the year in Greenville.

2. If you grew up in Greenville, you went to one of three high schools.

You either went to Rose, Conley or South Central. If you went to a Rose or Conley, you know the rivalry in sports run deep. A lot of Greenville is centered around high school sports.

3. You know that Greenville has some of the best barbecue places in the country.

Between B's Barbecue and Parker's, there is no denying that Greenville's barbecue is the best around.

4. Greenville goes through phases.

One year it was the frozen yogurt phase and all of a sudden we had at least 6 new frozen yogurt shops. This year it is the mattress store phase. Everywhere you look there is a new mattress store.

5. Old and new movie theater.

The movie theaters do have real names but almost everyone refers to them as the old and new movie theater. People also refers to the Walmart's and Harris Teeters' as the new and old Walmart and the new and old Harris Teeter.

6. Sup Dogs.

Need I same more than just the two beautiful words? If you have ever been to Sup Dogs you know that Sup sauce is like liquid gold. Everything at Sup Dogs is amazing and defiantly one of the best places to eat in Greenville.

7. Greenville can clear out during the summer.

The days get longer and Greenville gets emptier. It starts when the college students move out and then all Pitt County schools are out and people flock to the beach for the summer.

8. ECU move in weekend is the worst weekend.

If you are not a college student and just live in Greenville this can be one of the worst if not the worst weekend in Greenville. The traffic is absolutely terrible and if you decide to go near campus you are risking getting stuck in terrible traffic.

9. There are some place you go that you will always see someone you know.

For me it is Moes and the grocery store. I can never go to either with out seeing at least one person I know.

10. As a high schooler you have probably said, "There is nothing to do in Greenville."

I may or may not have said this statement 100 times in my life. Some people even go hang out at Sonic for fun.

As I mentioned in number 10, there might not be a ton to do in Greenville, but there is no other town I would want to call my hometown. Now that I am getting ready to leave the only town I have ever known, I can truly say I am going to miss this town. It may not be the greatest city in the world, but I really do love it in Greenville, North Carolina. I hope you enjoyed this list about Greenville!!

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.

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.
