6 Things Xavier Students Are Tired Of Hearing
Xavier University

Everyone has things that if they never heard again for the rest of their lives, they would be very happy. Often times those things apply to groups of people. Tall people are sick of being asked if they play basketball (especially when they do not), redheads get tired of the "gingers don't have souls!" quips, and anyone with a remotely inappropriate first or last name is especially tired of people exercising their freedom of speech. For students at Xavier University, the list gets kind of long.

6. So did you hear about that pizza atm?

Yes, I did. Thank you for thinking of me, but I knew it was coming long before you saw it on the Today Show. And if I hadn't, the 13 other people who tagged me in the exact same Facebook video beat you to it.

5. How's your football team this year?

This one always comes with a smug grin or forced laughter. That's a good one. Definitely the first time I've heard it. Undefeated since 1973. Moving on.

4. That's an expensive school; you must be rich!

Some of us are, some of us aren't. There's a lot of scholarship money floating around, and a lot of crippling debt. A lot. You can't choose who, or where, you love right?

3. Have you tried the pizza from the ATM yet?

I know all of my friends and family are anxiously awaiting for me to take on my role as quality control, but as of now, I have not. It's the same pizza I can walk inside the caf and get for free* (*already paid for) so I haven't brought myself to pay $9 for it yet. Sorry for being a disappointment, but when I try it, you'll be the first to know.

2. You're pretty good at basketball, right?

Personally, no. But if you mean me as in my school, then yeah, you could say that. I mean we did happen to beat the current national champs, but no big deal. Honestly, this one doesn't get old because, let's face it, who doesn't want to talk about how awesome their school is.

1. "Eggs-zavier"

It happens everywhere: on tv, at family functions, if you wear a Xavier shirt to the mall. I understand, the first time, if you think to pronounce the "X" like it belongs in front of the word husband, I do. But if I say Xavier to you and then you say back Ex-xavier to me, I'm going to think you're correcting me. And that just makes no sense seeing as one of actually goes there. Oh well.

But there's one sound we'll never tire of...

and that's the announcer at the basketball games with the always enthused "forrrrrrrr Xavierrrrrr!" and a good ol' Let's Go X chant.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
