Since freshman year, Stonehill has slowly, but surely, become my home. I walk through campus with so much pride, knowing, not only, that this is where I live, but also that this is where I will become a better, more intelligent and mature person. Throughout my Stonehill journey thus far, I've become extraordinarily familiar with the Stonehill community and what makes someone a Stonehill student. With that being said, here are the ABC's of Stonehill College:
A is for Ace's Place:
B is for Bridges:
Which one? The heights bridge? The orange bridge? The commons bridge? The O'Hara bridge?
C is for Clock:
...and all the Instagram pictures of it.
D is for Daddy's Dairy:
They have Stonehill-styled sprinkles and accept HillCards. What more can you ask?
E is for Expenses:
...because our school is mad expensive.
F is for Friends:
Gotta thank Stonehill for bringing me to some of the most wonderful people I've ever met.
G is for Grass:
...and watering it even when it's raining.
H is for The Hill:
Drunk, 1 am Mac'nCheese Bites and Motz Sticks sounds like home.
I is for Instagram:
...and all the glorious Stonehill Campus pictures on it.
J is for Junior Courts:
Courts parties aren't exactly fun, but we all go anyways, don't we?
K is for Keys:
....and trying not to lose them because if you do, you'll spend the next hour looking for an RA and forming a plan to distract them from looking into your room when they open your door because you have an illegal pet and a handle of vodka sitting out.
(Not from experience)
L is for Library:
We spend all our time there in the week to justify not touching our backpacks over the weekend.
M is for Midnight Madness:
#HillYa
N is for New Hall:
...and being thankful to go there instead of the courts.
O is for Owen's:
Unfortunately, only students who are 21 have ever been.
P is for Parking:
Don't even get me started. As soon as someone has a valid reason for why Stonehill decided to let freshman have cars on campus the same year they shut down half of Lot 17 for construction, please, let me know.
Q is for Quality:
...not quantity! Stonehill may be small, but we're extra special.
R is for Roommates:
...or suite mates or whoever you get the pleasure to live with. It can be difficult at times, but in the end, you know it's a blessing to live with all your best friends.S is for Sodexo:
...and all the stomach aches that follow.
T is for To-go Containers:
I mean I'm certainly losing a ton of money because sometimes I get things in to-go containers when I'm eating at the dining commons, but oh well. Sometimes I get food in plates and then take them back to my room with me, too, so I'm just full of surprises.
U is for Ugly:
...because that's how I go to class- sweatpants and t-shirts.
V is for Vineyard Vines:
Rich people go to Stonehill. I don't fit in.
W is for Wifi:
I'm honestly just used to having sh*tty wifi. As I type this, my words are minutes behind me because my wifi is so bad. Nothing works.X is for Exes:
Stonehill is such a small school. If you date someone or have any sort of relationship with anyone that doesn't work out, you will see them everywhere.
Y is for Your Future:
...because Stonehill is where your future plans becomes a reality.
Z is for Zzz's:
Make sure you get enough of these! Personally, I can't function with less than 10 hours, but that's just me.
