14 Perks Of Going To College Down South
Task and Purpose

There really is nothing quite like going to college in the south. We have tons of perks at our warm weather schools and no, we will never feel sorry for our northerner friends when we post Snapchats in 80 degrees during winter time.

If you don't have a friend at a school down south that you can go visit let me give you an inside look on the 14 best things about going to school in the South.

1. Dope weather

Obviously, the weather is half the reason why we chose our southern schools and nothing beats hitting the pool in between classes.

2. Beaches (before and after class)

Clearly another upside of going to school in warm weather means getting to have weekend beach trips with your friends!

3. People are way nicer

Yes, this is not a myth it is in fact the truth people are way nicer down south.

4. Palm trees. Everywhere.

Ah nothing beats looking out your window and seeing palms :)

5. Flip flops all day every day

Lazy day=flip flops

running late=flip flops

Jk flip flops are acceptable at all times!

6. Big football

In the south we do football. That's just science.

7. Publix

A serious luxury that we have down here is our Publix supermarkets.

8. Having sunglasses on your person every day.

Oh you thought the fun just stopped at flip flops everyday well guess again you get to wear sunglasses almost every day as well!

9. Never seeing snow... until winter break.

Going to school down south means never having to deal with cold weather and snow until you have to go back home and see it.

10. Tanning is acceptable anywhere

Have a few minutes between class, catch some rays on the quad its totally ok down here!

11. "Y'all"

This is actually a thing, you can tell any northerner apart from a southerner just by one word, but when you go to school here it just becomes apart of your vocabulary.

12. Everything moves a littler slower.

If you are someone from up north going to school in the south you can totally see the change of pace, and the slow lifestyle is definitely different but way much calmer.

13. Partying is a different ball game.

No one parties like we do down south. If you go to a big time football school you truly know what a darty is all about. But seriously drinking during the day is a normality down here.

14. Our food is better.

Obviously you've heard of southern comfort food, yea we have that but something no one will be able to touch is the Mexican food in Florida, it's the real deal.


So, if you have the option and the means to attend school in the South, you should probably do that ASAP.

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.
