8 Things I Am Going To Miss About Oneonta

Oneonta has been home to me these last three and a half years

As the countdown to the end of my undergraduate college career nears its end, I become increasingly more reminiscent of my past three and a half years at SUNY Oneonta.

(Take note, these are in no particular oder)

1. Sundae Wednesday and Tots

Granted, I have not eaten in a dining hall in two years, much less stepped foot in one outside of giving campus tours, but Sundae Wednesday and finding out they were serving tater tots for breakfast were two of my favorite moments of on-campus dining. Wednesday's would be synonymous with "Averi eats herself into a food coma" day because I have a larger sweet tooth than many would imagine. And potatoes in the shape of deep fried nuggets? How could anyone not enjoy those? Have you seen Napoleon Dynamite?

2. The Indoor Track

As a lover of all things fitness and keeping a healthy lifestyle, the indoor track has become one of my favorite places on campus. Not only is the few beautiful overlooking the soccer field, but it provides a calming environment for me to escape to when stressed out or upset. For me, it was the perfect getaway (without really getting away).

3. All of the Involvement Opportunities

Oneonta is great in that aspect; there are over 110 clubs and organizations you can join and events going on constantly, seven days a week. There is no reason to be bored, and I never was. I loved being able to try out new things, learn more about myself, and truly grow into who I am as a person through all of these opportunities.

4. Yellow Deli

With me from literally day one, like for real, ate here when I visited my senior year of high school, YelDel will forever have a special place in my heart. Even though I'm bitter about the disappearance of the Long Island Rancher, the soup of the day always comes in clutch.

5. RSO

Involved from the very beginning, the Resident Student Organization has been my one consistent involvement throughout my college career. It helped shape me into the confident leader I am today and paved the way for many more great accomplishments to come. From great advisors, making friends with my e-board, and being able to give back to the campus, RSO is something I will truly miss being involved in. Filling up my Wednesdays at 4 PM with something different just wont be the same.

6. The Sip and The Oak

I wouldn't be a college graduate if I didn't say I was going to miss some of the nightlife. The Sip and The Oak were my go-to places that has provided me with countless memories of great nights with some of my closest friends.

7. Sodexo

After all, I am their number one fan...

8. The Views

Granted, yes, I can find other, equally as or more beautiful, than what is here, but growing up on Long Island, I was never surrounded by the scenery that surrounds me here. No matter the season, the landscape is gorgeous and it got to be my home for the last three and a half years.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
