47 Questions For Lehigh University

Even after almost two years at Lehigh there are still some questions that seem I'll never find the answer to. Weird smells, the food, the bus system, there are questions about all of them. Some may be unanswerable but others I'm asking just out of pure curiosity. Most of the questions, though they may be trivial, have to do with what makes Lehigh, Lehigh. So, I want to know:

1. Why does Lower Cents always smell weird?

2. Who decided that the Dravo stairs were an acceptable walking path?

3. Why is Lower Court closed on weekends when it has the superior food?

19. Why does finding a seat in the library turn into World War III during 4 o'clocks/finals?

20. Why 1:31 a.m. for University Announcements?

21. Does anyone actually read the University Announcements?

22. Who changes the inSTALLments?

23. Why is it always impossible to get on the 12 o'clock bus unless you get on at the Packer Ave. stop?

25. When did the A Chi O bus stop suddenly become a thing?

26. Do the buses still make the 12 minute loop if they actually stop at every single stop?

27. Why did you repaint every bus for the 150th anniversary just to have to repaint all of them again this year?

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.

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.
