50 Things I Miss About The Best Place On Villanova's Campus: The Quad
Kaitlyn Stivers

Everyone knows that The Quad is the best place on Villanova's campus. In fact, it's an irrefutable statement. Unfortunately, time in our favorite place was cut short. Although we had to leave early, we can't discount the amazing times we did have. What better way to honor the many 'quad bools' than a reflection on some of my favorite memories in my favorite place. So, without further ado, I am honored to present a comprehensive list documenting some of my favorite memories, and what makes The Quad so special.

1. Quad bools. Duh. 

2. Sully 007!!

3. Waking up to the sweet sound of an aggressive lawn mower....in December. 

4. Waking up to the garbage truck at ungodly hours of the morning 

5. The Schmourts

6. Taco Tuesday in the Pit

7. Having my shower caddy punted down the ground floor hallway

19. Themed nights 

20. Wells Fargo tailgates

21. Late night (mozz sticks and mac & cheese to be precise) 

22. Bachelor Mondays 

23. Chairs thrown down the stairs at 3 a.m.

24. The sin-a-muffins from Holy Grounds 

25. Talking to people in class and not through a screen 

26. An endless supply of chips and salsa courtesy of Conn Convenience (aka Carket)

35. 10 honey BBQ wings on the bone from CampCo

36. Movie nights 

37. Wearing everyone's clothes but my own

38. Xolos, obviously!

40. Being scared to get anything from under my bed

41. Zilly Fries 

42. Late night Manilla's 

43. Sunsets

44. Pedialyte Pops (If you haven't already tried them, these are a staple!!) 

45. Going to chapter with my sisters <3

46. "Be safe and have fun!!....But... mostly have fun!!" 

47. Laughing so hard it's a better workout than Chloe Ting 

48. Running across the intersection with 1 second left...yes, I'm THAT girl 

49. Singing my favorite songs, and no one caring about my brutal pitch 

50. Most of all...I miss being in my favorite place, making friends and making memories, surrounded by the best people. 

Needless to say, bury me in the quad.

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.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
