There are many disadvantages of Ashland University - crappy wifi, limited prints, the varying temperatures in the buildings - but despite these, there are some crazy awesome things here at AU, or clearly we wouldn't still be here. That being said, here's a little list of some of the best/most loved things at Ashland University.

1) The People

You can't go on a campus tour, let alone live on campus, without hearing of some of the awesome people who help the university happen. Convo Kim is always there to wish you a blessed day, Security Fred likes to ask for scores of whatever's on the TV, and somedays you might just find President Campo serving up hamburgers at the grill.

2) Late Night Dining

What can be bad about fries, nuggets, pizza etc? Freshman year when you have that unlimited meal plan, make use of it! Its a lot better than having to walk to Burger King and spend actual money on the same stuff.

3) Small Classrooms

Two semesters in and my largest class has been 26, and my smallest 6. Because of this its really easy to get to know your professor and since campus is so small, you're likely to know at least one person in your class already.

4) Small Campus

Its always nice to be up and ready for the day with time to spare, but when you have those 8:00ams, nobody cares much for looking presentable. In 15 minutes you can be dressed and at class on time. #blessed

5) Small Town

Whether or not you have a car on campus, there's always someone down for a Walmart, Taco Bell, or Buffalo Wild Wings trip. Best part? Its all just five minutes down the road.

6) Tuffy Tuesday's

Tuesdays are never boring on campus. Out in the quad, in the student center, or wandering around convo, every Tuesday Tuffy can be found somewhere giving out high fives, tee shirts and water bottles, and if you're lucky, you'll make it in the Tuffy Tuesday video!

So yeah, our wifi sucks, we have communal bathrooms, and half our classrooms still have chalkboards, but there's a lot of really cool stuff about our small private AU that keeps us coming back!

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.
