With a campus as beautiful as ours, it's hard to imagine ever wanting to leave it; however, when the time comes that you do get an itch to leave 'The Bubble,'check out these places:

1. Grab dinner at Blue Rock Pizza.

You haven't lived until you've tried their pizza. Sure, The Grille has good pizza, but Blue Rock has great pizza.

2. Go hiking at Hanging Rock State Park.

It's a little bit of a drive from school, but it's totally worth it. The view is amazing, especially at sunset.

3. Stop in and eat some crepes at Penny Path.

No offense to Carolina Diner, but Penny Path is definitely the best breakfast place in High Point.

4. Get your caffeine fix at DeBeen Espresso.

Cool atmosphere and great drinks. You really can't beat it.

Bonus: You'll feel right at home with their giant indoor fountain.

5. Take a weekend trip to Asheville.

Honestly, a weekend trip probably isn't even enough. There's tons to do in Asheville, and the charm of the city is unbeatable.

6. Visit your favorite furry animals at Friendly Pets.

Located in Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro, you can always find some HPU kids playing with the puppies and kittens. It's the perfect pick-me-up to help get through finals.

7. Fill up on treats at Granny's Donuts.

Don't get me wrong, I love Krispy Kreme, but Granny's Donuts really can't be beat.

8. Find some bargains at Dillard's at Oak Hollow Mall.

Is Oak Hollow Mall creepy and almost completely abandoned? Yes. Will that stop me from finding cute, cheap clothes at Dillard's? No.

9. Pop in to Green Bean in downtown Greensboro.

Clearly I have a caffeine addiction since two different coffee shops made this list. Green Bean is located in Greensboro, within walking distance of a ton of cool restaurants, bars, and cute shops.

10. Drive by the World's Largest Chest of Drawers

Obviously, being the furniture capital of the U.S., High Point does it big.

11. Scope out the graffiti wall in downtown High Point.

Within walking distance from the High Point train station, the graffiti wall is ever-changing and always exciting.

Next time you're tempted to say there's nothing to do off campus, check out this list and plan your next adventure.

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.
