10 Things To Look Forward To Spring Semester

Mark your calendars, Bonnies.

10 Things To Look Forward To Spring Semester
Caitlin McClare

Personally, my favorite part of spring semester is when it actually starts to look like spring around St. Bonaventure. When the weather gets better, Bonnies students start to crawl out of their caves, and finally there is life on campus again.

However, believe it or not, there is still so much to look forward to throughout the semester, even when it is -10 degrees outside. And, as a second semester senior, I intend to make the most out of these annual events that make being a Bonnie the best.

1. Bonnies basketball

Bonnies basketball games are hands-down one of the most fun events on campus every year. The whole school comes together to cheer for the group of guys and girls who represent us in Atlantic 10 basketball. This season will be even more fun with both Bonnies' teams on a tear. There's a reason The RC is one of the hardest places to play in Division I basketball.

2. A-10 Tournament in Brooklyn

Going along with Bonnies basketball is the Atlantic 10 Tournament in Brooklyn. It is legitimately a bunch of Bonaventure basketball fans taking over the Barclay's Center to root for the brown and white. Different place, same Bonnies.

3. Spring break


Whether you are going somewhere warm or not, it is likely you will spend spring break with some Bonnies. We always tend to have a break that falls before every other school's, so road trips with your Bonnies are almost required.

4. House Crawl

God bless us all.

5. Junior Prom

The looks on people's faces when I tell them I went to "junior prom" at college are never not funny. Many people assume that, at 21 years old, I attended a high school junior prom. But, it is just one of the many unique events we have here. Unlike high school junior prom, they serve alcohol.

6. Front porch parties

Like I said earlier, when the sun comes out, so do the Bonnies. When the weather is nice, it is an obligation to attend at least one porch party a week. Something about hanging outside with a group of friends makes for the best time.

7. Bonnies baseball games

Whether you know the game of baseball or not, going to the games is a blast. If you are lucky, you can find someone who brings a grill and makes some hot dogs.

8. Spring weekend

Classes end. Kickball games. Hilarious custom T-shirts. Chicken nuggets. Inflatable obstacle courses someone is likely to break their ankle on. And that's just Friday.

9. Slaughter party

It is $20 to attend the backyard party at the infamous off-campus house, but it is so worth it. There is a legitimate band, games, kegs, and pizza (if you get there early enough).

10. Senior week

The week in between the end of finals and graduation is dedicated to the seniors. One last week with everyone filled with beers, river-rafting, and our two favorite bars with our favorite people. It is not all sad. These days are for spending with the group of people who were by your side through all the bad, late-night decisions and overly stressful finals weeks. Enjoy it.

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.

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.
