22 Activities For The Auburn Student Who Never Knows What To Do
auburn.edu

New year, same school right? Everyone knows that Auburn University is the loveliest village on the plains, but sometimes it's hard to decide what to do on a daily basis. Here are a few ideas...

1. Have a picnic on Samford lawn or throw the frisbee around in front of the most iconic Auburn building

You know you've always secretly wanted to do this. You see random people doing it all the time and it just looks so... Auburn.

2. Go hike at Chewacla

It's super cheap. It's super fun. It's a place to think and explore and see some ~NEATure~

3. Climb the fire tower in Tuskegee

Kind of dangerous. Kind of hard to find. But so so so so fun if you go with a group of friends.

4. Go on a bike ride on the Auburn bikes

They're free, and it's an easy way to get from one place to another looking v Auburn.

5. Try and attend a game/match/meet for every winter/spring Auburn team

I know we love our football, but people, gymnastics, track and field, tennis, softball, baseball, swimming and diving, equestrian, basketball and golf all have events going on between now and when school gets out for summer. Let's show some school pride!!! War Eagle!!!

6. Eat at every single Mexican restaurant in the Auburn/Opelika area

There has to be at least 10, right?

7. Buy an ice cream sandwich at Toomer's

8. Go bowling

9. Go skating

10. Spend sunset at the Red Barn

11. Go see a new movie

12. Shop downtown

13. Find a way to get to the Eagle's Nest on top of Haley

14. Actually talk to someone who is passing stuff out on the concourse

15. Ride around in your car with a group of friends and yell "Kiss her!!!!" at random couples walking home from downtown

16. Go to a UPC open mic night

17. Become an Über driver

18. Apply and get involved with an organization on campus

19. Dance with the sweet lady who plays music at the front of the Chick-fil-A line

20. Climb Foy

21. Yell "War Eagle!" at a tour of potential students

22. Spend more time studying this semester than you did last semester

See how many you can do before school get's out for the summer!! War Eagle!!

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.

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. 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.
