SUNY Oneonta, Oneonta State, Stoneonta, whatever you call it, there is one name we can all agree on - home.

Sorry about that, I just finished a cheesy romance novel seminar. Anyway, located in the Catskills, next to the famous Cooperstown, and home of the one and only Jimmy T's, Oneonta NY is the place to be. With over 6,000 people enrolled at the College at Oneonta, college students pretty much make up this small town's population. Second to only the black crows.

SUNY Oneonta has won awards for its level of diversity. We have students of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and more. However, being in a close-knit community such as ours, we all begin thinking alike.

I decided to compile a list of the numerous thoughts you are likely to hear a student say once driving onto Ravine Parkway.

1. It's chicken nugget day

2. I love Ed [from Wilsbach]

3. Bro, they just put out chicken tenders.

4. Today, I got woken up by garbage trucks

5. LOOK, A DEER!

6. So today I pet a dog

7. Have you seen that adorable golden retriever service dog? I want to pet it

8. I miss being able to scoop my own ice cream any day of the week

9. Let's go sit by the pond

10. When is the Physical Science Building going to be done?

11. We are the better Red Dragons

12. Bring Choice Ultra Lounge back

13. Sodexo sucks

14. I would rather lick the floor of Jimmy T's than eat dining hall food one more day

15. The F'real machine isn't working...again

16. Have you seen the campus skunk?

17. Jazzman's is better

18. No, Seasons is better

19. I want to go to Starbucks but it's all the way up the hill...

20. Oh it's snowing? Is class cancelled? Of course not

21. The wifi isn't working

22. I accidentally hit a deer with my car on the way back to campus

23. I would die for some YelDel right now

24. Tino's or Sal's?

25. Tino's cold cheese pizza, doe

26. I lost my ID on the bus, have you seen it?

27. OPT is late

28. My liver isn't prepared for OHfest

29. Hell, my liver isn't prepared for St. Oney's Day

30. SantaCon!!!

31. Well my fever is 104, I've been throwing up all night, and I'm growing a third leg, but the Health Center is on the other side of campus so

32. I need Hots

33. Have you ever been to Undercover Eggplant?

34. Oh good, they're building a whole new building for the bookstore but can't fix our wifi

35. I really want this new sweatshirt at the Red Dragon Outfitters but is it really worth the $65, kidney transplant, 2 pints of blood, and the sacrifice of my first born child?

36. It's snowing? It was 71 degrees YESTERDAY

37. I want a tattoo...should I go to Golden Lotus or Oculo?

38. The things I would do for a MacDog right now

39. I needed a nap so I went to the third floor of the library

40. We can get text notifications for our laundry and yet you STILL leave your laundry in the dryer for 20 minutes?

41. WHICH ASS TOOK OUT MY LAUNDRY?

42. The bouncer at The Sip took my fake away :))))

43. Maybe instead of a new Welcome Center for our Welcome Center, we can build another parking lot

44. Look what I got out of the Hump Day Wagon...stickers!

45. There are NEVER any good condoms in the condom buckets, only Lifestyles. I'm trying to be safe, not get pregnant

46. Oh sweet, Blackboard is down again

47. We gotta be back by 11 so we don't have to go through the front door

48. I miss Country Night

49. THERE IS A PETTING ZOO IN THE QUAD

50. Wanna take a trip to Walmart?

51. I am still not over Yellow Deli taking out the Long Island Rancher

52. I'm tired of school, I am joining the cult

53. We've been here a week and look at my calves

54. Is the temperature really below zero? Well, I guess I'm drinking to stay warm

55. The 5k Plan? Is that a race?

56. I don't want to graduate.


*takes a deep breath*

Are you having flashbacks? Reminiscing on memories? It's okay, I won't judge you if you start to cry. Oh, you're not crying? Don't tell me your eyes are just red from the second-hand high you get just from breathing in the air...

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.
