25 Signs You Go To UW-Madison
Mansion Hill Inn

1. You are incapable of having an 8:50 class yet willingly wake up at 6:30 AM to buy football and basketball season tickets.


2. No matter how many times you walk up Bascom Hill, you can’t help but die a little inside every time you look up at that beautiful monster.

3. Your red and white overalls are your most prized possession.

4. Game days are the best days. Plain and simple.

5. Jumping Around on Saturdays is your favorite college tradition.

6. You’ve ordered Ian’s mac and cheese pizza at 12AM multiple times.

And probably regretted it the next morning...but ate that leftover cold pizza for breakfast too.

7. You’ve walked to class in sweltering heat, rain storms, blizzards, and days that feel like -50 degrees.

8.) You’ve busted out shorts on a 40-degree day.


9. Freak Fest is the ultimate Halloween destination, even when it’s below zero.

10. You are very devoted to your library, whether it’s College or Memorial, you are a ride-or-die type.

11. You’ve dragged your butt to the Farmer’s Market just for all that cheese!!!!!!

12. You are more than willing to eat ice cream in the dead of winter because, well, it’s Babcock ice cream. How can you refuse?

13. You’ve definitely taken a crafty Instagram picture of the colorful Terrace chairs.

14. Speaking of The Terrace, is there anything more beautiful in the summer? Or the spring? Or the winter or the fall?

15. You make sure to stop and pet every dog you see on campus.

16. You’ve made your way up the Mifflin Street Block Party, rain or shine (and managed to get a fake-arrest picture with a cop.)


17. You weren't entirely sure how to do all of the cheers during your first official Badger game, but now you can cheer them in your sleep.


18. You get emotional when you sing along to Varsity

19. You are constantly fueling the Minnesota-Wisconsin football rivalry by asking every Minnesota fan whose held the Axe trophy the longest.

Wisconsin has for 13 years by the way, but who's counting?

20. You’re consistently amazed at Bucky’s dance moves, sass, and ability to crank out 100s of push-ups.

21. You try to avoid the SERF at 5:00 because there will be nothing open. NOTHING OPEN!

22. You’ve partied in a dirty Langdon Street Frat House basement.

Don’t be ashamed, we’ve all done it.

23.) You know how to work hard. UW-Madison is the 10th ranked public institution in the nation, and 44th ranked in the world, so be proud of yourself!

24.) You also know how to party. UW-Madison is ranked the Top Party School in the nation, so once again, be proud of yourself. :)

25.) You have unexplainable pride for your school. You couldn’t imagine spending these 4 years anywhere else.

"When you say Wisconsin, you’ve said it all!”

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.
