Yes, WVU has football, classes, and a shitty PRT, but there are things WVU has to offer that can make you a better you. Services that can help you physically, mentally, and strengthen your ties with the community.

Free Nutritionist

Giphy

So you've got a beer belly, or you feel gross eating Chick-fil-A 27/4. And, it's okay. There are nutritionists in the rec and in the student health building who you can see for free. You can make a plan on what you need to slim down, bulk up, or just start eating healthier.

Shabbat Dinner

Giphy

Whether you are Jewish or not, the Jewish center welcomes everyone for a Shabbat dinner. A time for everyone to come together, coexist and have a good time meeting new people while experiencing the Jewish faith. More Information can be found at https://jewishwv.org/ .

Yoga and Meditation for you to de-stress.

Giphy

There are so many opportunities to get out of your head and de-stress. WellWVU offers many classes pretty much all day long in a bunch of different locations. School and work are hard. Being able to take a breath and not have to worry about anything but yourself is incredibly important. More info can be found here: https://well.wvu.edu/mindful-mountaineers .

Community Service Opportunities

Giphy

Many majors, greek life, and clubs require you to do community service. Many people just like doing community service on their own and it is so easy to get involved with iserve or the student center for learning. There are programs available for you to do community service for money off your tuition. How cool is that?

There are a lot of things that are available for you Mountaineers. Things to better you and better others. Help others to help yourself and find yourself in self reflection. I wish you luck.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
