8 Thoughts Every UConn Student Has During Tailgate Season
Julia Tremblay

Tailgating season is here and we are so ready. Whether you're a morning person or not, get ready to head to Rentschler field for our next home game. There are only a few things better than burgers and dogs, cornhole, and your fellow UConn huskies early on a Saturday morning. So blast some music, grill up some food, and enjoy!

1. How are we getting there?

Is there a Tilt Bus? Who’s driving? How much would an Uber be?

2. Have to run to the CO-OP (Sorry, I mean UConn Bookstore) to get a whole new wardrobe for the game.

We have way too much fun filling our entire wardrobe with UConn t-shirts and jerseys. Yes, I’m still mad the $9.99 t-shirts are now $14.95… but we’ll survive.

3. Why is this bus ride taking so long?

Taking a bus from Storrs to East Hartford is definitely a trip. Now’s the time to get the extra 40 minutes of sleep in, or get the party started early.

4. It's nine o'clock in the morning. Do I have a cheeseburger or hot dog?

I have the answer. Have both.

5. Waking up feeling like you only had four hours of sleep and need Advil and water immediately.

A tailgate is the answer to your hangover. Boot and rally!

6. Where's my flannel? Can I borrow your flannel?

It’s going to be 50 degrees when you get there, but probably 80 at noon. Plan accordingly.

7. Where are you?

That friend that always disappears and you have absolutely no idea where he/she is. They tell you they’re by a certain flag, but actually is nowhere to be found.

8. When does the first bus go back?

Are you staying in the parking lot until the bus leaves at halftime, or are you actually going into the game?

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.

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.
