5 Reasons There is No Place Like Savannah

If you are from Savannah, then there is no doubt you have said “I can’t wait to leave here,” or something along those lines at least once or twice in your life. I am guilty of doing so as well, but if you've left home and gone to college yet, even if it's only 45 minutes away, there is no doubt you've also said, “I miss Savannah.” Once you meet people from cities all over Georgia, and sometimes even different states, you realize how much you took Savannah for granted. Here are five reasons why there is no place like Savannah:

1. You realize what great food Savannah has.

A place without Spanky’s is a place I can’t stay forever.

2. You realize it is a privilege to know or have heard of majority of the people.

Your college friends can’t believe that you know groups of people that are from Savannah, but did not go to the same school as you. They can’t wrap their heads around the fact and you can’t really explain the fact that you simply just know everyone somehow.

3. Even though we think there is nothing to do, other places have it worse.

People from Savannah constantly complain how we have nothing to do and no where to go with our friends, and while that is sometimes true, we do have options that other people don’t. Tybee might not be the nicest beach, but it is a beach and it is only 15-20 minutes away. Downtown is so unique with huge parks, shopping and food you cannot beat.

4. You realize how truly beautiful Savannah is.

Whenever you go into downtown after your long drive on i16, you see the streets, shops, restaurants and trees in a whole different light. This is a beautiful place and it is your home.

5. You realize how popular Savannah is.

Majority of the time, you have never heard of the places people are from in college. They usually give up trying to explain and classify their home in the Atlanta area, but everyone knows Savannah and is jealous when you tell them that's where you're from.

There are many more reasons why there really is no place like Savannah, but I feel like these are some main ones. Of course there are times when we are truly tired of the city and sometimes the people there, but that is what’s nice about going away for college. You get to spend some time away, but it makes you appreciate the moments spent back home. If you're not in college yet, I'm sure you are convinced that you will not miss it once you leave, but I promise you will. And once that time comes, you will be forever grateful that Savannah is where you get to come back to.

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.
