5 Struggles That Everyone Who Has Lived In Mawa Know To Be True
Emory & Henry College

If you've ever lived in Mawa, or Wiley-Jackson if you want to get all technical, at Emory and Henry College, then you know it can sometimes be very interesting. There are lots of ups and downs that come with living in the cheapest dorm on campus. But, if you want the true freshman experience here at Emory and Henry, Mawa is the place to be!

1. Everyone breaks things.

People are apparently just extremely destructive. They break windows, doors, signs, you name it. And, of course, they don't come forward and you are the one to pay for it.

2. THE TRAIN.

This one really needs no explanation.

3. Quiet Hours? What's that?


Enforced or not, and sometimes not even a bad thing, I think everyone living in Mawa is just in a competition to see how loud they can be... especially at 3 a.m.

4. Fire drills.


Multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a night.


5. The locking closets.


You accidentally lock them, and then you have to call Campo or your RA to come unlock it for you. Why do they lock? What are they for? Why do they even exist?

So, if you're looking for the experience of a lifetime, just live in Mawa. It's a home away from home. Go Wasps!

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.
