A Love Letter To Wawa

Love, the entire northeast region.

I have lived in areas that have Wawas around every corner for my entire life. Because of this, it has come as a huge shock to me when people do not share my love for Wawa, or worse still, do not even know what a Wawa is.

“Wawa? What is that?” Only the best place to get basically anything you need at any time. Wawas are mainly a tri-state area or Northeast deal, so most people who are not residing in the Northeast do not even understand our obsession with Wawa. And honestly, what is the obsession? I did not even think I was that obsessed with Wawa until I heard someone saying they just did not understand why we were all so obsessed. Of course, at this point my South Jersey, three-Wawas-in-my-tiny-hometown self was appalled. I mean, what’s not to love about Wawa? Their slogan is literally, “Gottahava Wawa,” and it is most definitely true. But we really are obsessed. Wawa is not even a convenience store at this point, it is way more like a lifestyle. You go to the beach for the day, you get a Wawa hoagie. You’re driving for a while, you stop and get gas at Wawa where you do not have to pump your own gas (only in Jersey, of course). Wawa started out as a convenience store but has become so much more. At this point it is literally a staple of the Northeast. Something we have, and everyone else should want.

Truly, nothing compares to Wawa. I seriously can’t even imagine not living right near a Wawa, or five. For those not in the Northeast, what is it actually like not having any Wawas? What is it like only having 7-Elevens or Sheetz or whatever else your particular area has? The biggest question I have is like what do you do without a Wawa? This is my thank you to Wawas everywhere.

Thank you for always being there for anything, at basically any time. And also thank you for creating Sizzlis. Like how amazing are those? A nice, hot sandwich waiting for you at any time (up until 11 a.m.). A little known fact about the Sizzlis is that they actually will make them any time of day if you just ask. See, not only is this article a reflection of my true love for Wawa, but you are also learning some new facts about the chain itself.

So shoutout to Wawa, obviously, for always having the best of everything. But also shoutout to people like myself and others in the Northeast who are so obsessed with Wawa that we keep the business thriving. Thank you for always having everything we need, and also for being abundant in my area. Truly a blessing to be able to go on Wawa runs whenever I want.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
