As an Auburn student, "War Eagle!" can be used in so many different situations, so here are a few of them:

1. When you find an open table in RBD during finals week.

A blessing from above, honestly.

2. When you're 2018 SEC Men's Basketball Champions.

We're a basketball school, right?

3. When you lose to Alabama in the SEC Tournament.

War Eagle, anyways.

4. When you beat Alabama and UGA during the regular season, only for both of the teams to play each other in the National Championship.

The most Auburn thing to ever happen to Auburn.

5. When the Chick-fil-A line is not out the door.

You know it's a good day when you don't have to wait 45 minutes for a chicken sandwich.

6. When Casey Mize pitches a no-hitter.

We're a baseball school now.

7. When you see Aubie anywhere on campus.

I feel a personal soul connection.

8. When Spirit flies over the stadium.

Tears. Actual tears.

9. When no one is on the concourse handing out fliers, asking you if you have voted, etc.

SGA Campaign, Homecoming Week, and Welcome Week are all times that it's just easier to avoid the concourse.

10. When you don't get a parking ticket.

A gift honestly.

11. When you find a parking spot in downtown Auburn.

Near to impossible.

12. When you find the perfect game day outfit.

Thank you, "Behind the Glass" and "Dress Up." You are appreciated.

13. When you pass a group of high school students on tour.

Do it. Come to the Loveliest Village on the Plains.

14. When a class gets canceled.

Everyone's favorite email.

15. Anytime you see anyone you know.

War Eagle. All day, every day.

16. Anytime you hear, "Chris Davis is going to drop back into the end zone in single safety. Well, I guess if this thing comes up short he can field it and run it out. Alright, here we go. 56-yarder, it's got — no, it does not have the leg. And Chris Davis takes it in the back of the end zone. He'll run it out to the 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 45 — There goes Davis! Davis is going to run it all the way back! Auburn's going to win the football game! Auburn's going to win the football game! He ran the missed field goal back! He ran it back 109 yards! They're not going to keep them off the field tonight! Holy cow! Oh, my God! Auburn wins! Auburn has won the Iron Bowl! Auburn has won the Iron Bowl in the most unbelievable fashion you will ever see! I cannot believe it! 34–28! And we thought 'A Miracle in Jordan-Hare' was amazing! Oh, my Lord in Heaven! Chris Davis just ran it 109 yards and Auburn is going to the championship game!"

It happens more often you would think.

17. Literally anytime ever.

It's a greeting and goodbye. It's everything in between.

God Bless and 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.

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.
