Go friars!

As a student at Providence College for the past three (going on four) semesters, I've definitely become accustomed to how this campus works and I've learned all the ins and outs of it. Just like any other campus community, we have our own quirks and characteristics that are unique to us. If you're a friar like myself, you should definitely be able to relate to most, if not all, of these. Here a few confessions of a typical Providence College student.

1. You live for chicken nuggets and curly fries on Thursdays.

2. You feel like a mini celebrity whenever someone waves or says hi to you on campus.

3. You don't actually use the crosswalks to get from Harkins to Al-Mag.

4. If you don't have one already, you've always wanted an intramural championship t-shirt.

5. There are few things you hate more than the class registration and housing selection processes.

6. You love holding the door for others but never know what the appropriate distance is to do so.

7. You still wonder what happened to taco Tuesday at Ray and who complained that it was too repetitive.

8. You're actually afraid of the campus squirrels.

9. You love Coach Cooley.

10. You're probably involved in more sports, clubs, exec boards, or activities than you actually have time for.

11. The view of Harkins never ever ever ever gets old.

12. Whenever you're still hungry after a meal at Ray, you go back up to get just a plate of fries and then wonder if people are judging you as you walk back.

13. ...And the ice cream machine is both your best friend and your worst enemy.

14. Even though you don't think you're superstitious, you still avoid the circle in front of the chapel like it's the plague.

15. You really just attend 10:30pm mass because there are snacks afterwards and it's a social gathering that you can justify spending time at on a Sunday night.

16. Your printing money is gone in a blink of an eye.

17. Although Friar Dom creeps you out, you really love him at the same time.

18. You complain about how expensive Ben and Jerry's is at Alumni but then you buy it anyway.

19. You've mastered the art of budgeting friar bucks and ray swipes.

20. You actually really love playing bingo.

21. You still have a textbook on backorder at the bookstore that you ordered a month ago.

22. You've gone to Dunkin' multiple times in one day.

23. If you're not a business major, you're rethinking your major after seeing how nice the Ryan Center is.

24. You actually look forward to Ray brunch because it's the only meal you can rely on.

25. You've taken way too many pictures of the campus because it's just too beautiful not to.

26. You probably own a sweatshirt or t-shirt from every campus club or activity you belong to.

27. You wish Ruane wasn't so pretty because you love it but it also reminds you of Civ.

28. ...But at least Civ has made you better at Jeopardy than anyone else you know.

29. If you're not a science major, you have no idea how to navigate Al-Mag.

30. Although school can be stressful sometimes, you love being a part of the friar family more than anything else in the world.

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.
