5 Reasons Why Mimosa Is The Best Freshman Dorm
Mapio

Mimosa Hall has been home to some of the best memories of my freshman year of college. Despite how awful the lack of air-conditioning has been, the fire-prone building has been my beloved home for the past eight months. Coming into the school year, I was nervous that living in one of the traditional dorms on campus. But as everyone in Mimosa has come to know, it is truly the best freshman dorm on campus.

1. You get roommates and suitemates.

You have four other people who you get to know pretty well, besides your roommate. That being said, you're either going to love them or get pretty sick of them real quick.

2. You have a lounge to hang out in when you get sick of your room.

Technically, you're not supposed to sleep in the lounge, but I know multiple people who have. Some nights, the RAs have free food if you sign into their programs, so why not go?

3. You get your own bathroom.

You might have to clean it yourself, but you can literally do whatever you want to your bathroom. You don't have to use the communal bathrooms and you know exactly who was using it.

4. You are in the middle of campus.

You can wake up 10 minutes before class and make it there in five with time to spare unless you're going to Victoria. But at that point, why would you want to go to class anyway?

5. There is a computer lab attached to the building.

There is always someone in there, so there is always someone to let you in the building when you inevitably forget your ID. You just need someone to open up the door near the ramp now.


If you are lucky enough to live in Mimosa Hall next year, cherish it. There are always going to be hard times wherever you live, but you will never have the accessibility that you would have living in Mimosa.

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.
