Don't worry though, you'll be back to your all nighters in Mckeldin before you know it.

8 Things You'll Miss About UMD

The semester is coming to an end, thankfully. That means no more group projects, no more papers, and no more exams. So, you're probably ready to bust a move out of College Park, but part of you can't help feeling like you're not ready to leave. Yeah, the class work is kind of overwhelming, but there are some things that you'll probably miss.

1. Pizza Kingdom

What better way to solidify a great night out than with buying a five dollar jumbo slice of pizza from Pizza Kingdom? There's nowhere else I'd rather be at 2 am than in line here... well my bed is a close runner-up.

2. UMD Alerts

You'll miss being woken up to a string of emails from UMPD that ping pong back and forth between saying "stay alert" and "all clear." If we're lucky, maybe they'll start catching the criminals instead of waiting for them to flee the immediate area. .

3. Eppley Smoothies

Do you even go to UMD if you haven't been to Eppley for the sole purpose of getting a smoothie? Now that I'm rarely on North Campus, these smoothies are a treat, but they will be missed. That's for sure.

4. Friends

I know it's just a few months, but how am I supposed to deal with not being able to see my closest friends for all of this time? It's a hard transition to go from seeing someone everyday to having to settle for sporadic facetime calls or day trips to see them. Don't even get me started on the friends that are graduating... that is a whole new level of sadness.

5. Class

Hear me out on this one... you know those classmates who became your homie solely for the purpose of surviving the class? Yeah, you'll miss them too. You'll probably find yourself just waving and saying hi on occassion once the semester ends, but at least you'll always have the memories of your shared hatred for Accounting. Also, you may find yourself missing the structure that classes provide you, so I wouldn't be surprised if you quickly start looking forward to the upcoming semester's classes.

6. The Gold Bus

The bus that goes nowhere, but everywhere. You'll miss all of those adventures that you had, when you were just trying to find a way home without having to walk.

7. Mckeldin

No more Club Mckeldin parties. Floor 2 won't be seeing your face for a little bit, and I know that makes you a little sad. It's not even really about studying anymore, it's more for the good time.

8. Stamp at noon

Lunchtime is Stamp's peak hours, and you'll definitely find yourself missing it. It's probably not the McNuggets that you'll miss, but more likely the opportunity to pop out. This is the place you go when you want to be seen, because apparently, no one schedules classes at noon, since everyone is here.

Don't worry though, soon you'll be back at the greatest university.

Power of Love Letters

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.
