10 Things You Won't Miss About Rowan University
Rowan.edu

You had the best of times, you had the worst of times. You had, well, some times here at Rowan University. Some better than others, but hey, you made it through. Every college has some weak points, but Rowan can definitely take the cake on some. Even though you wanted to scream and yell at everyone at least once in your Rowan career, you learned to love its quirks and weirdness. But there are definitely some things you aren't going to miss.

1. The race to register for classes.

You always woke up 15-20 minutes early to get on self-service to race your way into that one class on the first day of registration. Just to find out that registration actually opened 30 minutes early and the class is already full.

2. The Samurai waitresses.

Whether it’s sushi or hibachi, you found yourself a frequent goer of Samurai. Though the food was way better than Tomo, you still questioned why you put yourself through “What drink?” before you even sat down at the table...every…single...time.

3. The cafe food.

I mean, c'mon. It's cafe food.

4. PARKING.

I shouldn’t even have to explain this one. It was terrible, we all knew it, it will never get better.

5. The rec center.

No matter what time you went, 6 a.m., 12 p.m., 4:15 p.m. It was forever packed.

6. Landmark.

This is a hard one because you grew to love the beer soaked wonderland that is Landmark. But you’re also so excited that you won’t be spending every single weekend there from here on out and venturing to new bars.

7. Wi-Fi.

Nobody else in the world knows the Wi-Fi struggle that is Rowan Wi-Fi. I mean, I guess it's not their fault, there are thousands of students who use it every day, but the second you step on campus it's a race to connect to whatever Wi-Fi you can get on that day. Plus, if your Clearpass messes up, you're totally screwed.

8. The death circle.

Sometimes you prayed you'd get hit, just so your tuition would be paid for. Other than that, you feared the walk through the circle because the people coming down 322 don't understand how to yield as you're casually walking to 7/11 for your hangover Gatorade.

9. Construction.

No matter what time of the year it was, Rowan was always doing construction. You didn't really hate it because they were building things, but you were mad because all these cool things are going to be there when you're gone. But you also hated it, because you always hit traffic.

10. The colors.

Ugh, who thought of these? Even Rowan dislikes Rowan colors. They don't match with anything.

No matter what, you'll always love good ol' Rowan. People wonder how you stuck out the four (or more) years at this strange little school, but you know all its awesome perks and secrets. Though there are some things you can't wait to escape, you'll always have a soft spot for Rowan.

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.
