30 Questions I Have For Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Going into the second half of my third year at WPI, while I am extremely comfortable and in love with this school, I have many questions as well for the student body, staff and administrators:

1. Why does myWPI need a countdown?

2. And with that, why are professors using both myWPI and Canvas?

3. Why does facilities only use 1 ply toilet paper?

4. Why does WPI ask you for donations when you're an undergraduate student paying tuition?

5. Why is Health Services not open for 24 hours like at other schools?

6. Also, why is Health Services a major inconvience to get to for the majority of students?

7. Why does WPI not put an emphasis on the Student Development and Counseling Center ever?

8. Why do meal swipes at the Campus Center cost more than if you bought the items separately?

9. With our tuition, why can we not print for free?

10. Why are students in the wrong for taking SNAP at night to Union Station to get to downtown Worcester?

11. Why does WPI keep accepting more students even though we don't have the dorm space?

12. Why does the Wind Tunnel need to be closed? (I know the answer but hey, major inconvenience)

13. Why are DAKA cookies not in the Campus Center?

14. Also, why does it matter if we call the dining hall DAKA?

15. Can the Campus Center have more outlets?

16. Also, can the Campus Center be bigger so we don't need to wander for 10 minutes trying to find a seat?

17. Why does Stratton Hall not have an elevator?

18. And why does Salisbury Labs only have one?

19. Why do students skateboard around campus at the weirdest hours?

20. Why is our school just so much better than RPI? (Sorry, RPI, we still love you <3)

21. Why are all of the treadmills broken in East Hall?

22. Why aren't real goats on our campus more often?

23. Why is the hill just so awful?

24. Why is our only not Chartwells food place on campus Dunkin Donuts?

25. Why does the library not have more good books to read casually?

26. How is there not a course on the many, many acronyms of WPI?

27. Why is our fight song actually one of the best, nerdiest things ever?

28. Why does WPI not have a designated nap time?

29. Like seriously, 7 term weeks are rough, what gives?

30. How did we all get so lucky to go to such as amazing institution?

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.
