10 Truths Of Living In Brumby Hall
University Housing – University of Georgia

If you've ever visited the University of Georgia or even have a friend/mother/co-worker/great aunt twice-removed who went to UGA, you've probably heard of the infamous Brumby Hall. Brumby's been housing freshman females, and more recently males, at UGA since before lots of our parents were even born. If you're like me, you probably know lots of UGA grads who lived in Brumby at one point or another, like my mom did some 31 years ago. Anyone who's ever lived in or stayed in Brumby will definitely know these 10 things to be true.

1. Community Showers are your worst nightmare

If you even remotely touch the walls, you have to start your shower all over again. And God forbid you drop something on the floor because you might as well burn it at that point.

2. If one person gets sick, everyone gets sick

It happens and will happen again, and again, and again until you move out. The freshman plague is a thing, and let's be real, 950 people use the exact same door and keypad to get into the dorm every. single. day.

3. Actually, 3 a.m. fire alarms are your worst nightmare

Yeah, so I lied. Getting woken up in the middle of the night by the loudest, shrillest sound you've ever heard is your literal WORST nightmare and it happens wayyyyy too often.

4. You will either love or hate your roommate

Hopefully, you'll get lucky like me and your roommate will be a mix between your best friend, sister and soulmate. And if not, you only have to stick it out with them for nine months.

5. It's weird seeing boys here

Even though the halls are integrated now, you'll still be a little confused every time you see a boy roaming the halls of Brumby.

6. The hill is probably your only form of exercise

There is no easy way to get up the hill and there's no way around it. No matter how many times you walk up the Brumby hill, you'll still be out of breath EVERY TIME you make it to the top.

7. The rooms are actually smaller than jail cells

"There's no way all your stuff is fitting in THERE," were probably the first words out of your parents' mouth on move-in day. But somehow, we still manage to stuff copious amounts of clutter into these 10x10 rooms.

8. If you live here, be prepared to share EVERYTHING

From clothes, to food, to your own bed — your friends WILL borrow almost everything you own at some point during your time here.

9. You live in the same building as all of your best friends, and just about everyone else

It's a blessing and a curse. Upside: You have all your friends just an elevator ride away whenever you need anything. Downside: When you HAVE to finish that paper, there's always something to do or someone to talk to that will fuel your procrastination.

10. No matter how many things you hate about it, you'll still miss living in Brumby once you move out

*tears*

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.

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.
