Fall Break
Katelin Gandee

So as all of the Ohio State students know, we had fall break this last weekend. There were some people who when home, some who stayed, and others that went on adventures. I went on an adventure. My best friend goes to Coastal Carolina, and that is where I choose to spend fall break.

The week before I came down, I wasn't sure if I was going to be a able to go.. hurricane Matthew ripped through the weekend before my flight. My best friend and her friends evacuated the area. They weren't able to get back until Tuesday evening. I was excited to find out that they were back and my flight was still scheduled.

This time going to visit was the first time I had flown with Allegiant. They offered a flight from Columbus to Myrtle beach for cheaper than other airlines. And it was perfect for the weekend get away that I was planning. I saved $200 on the flight and it was a direct flight unlike others. The flight ran smoothly getting there and I was grateful for that.

Flying in the only damage you could see from the plane was the damage done to the piers and some of the flooding that was left. When I met my best friend getting off the plane, the major damage that I saw was to the billboards and to the roofs of houses and businesses. The only tree that came down in my friends apartment complex was the one right out side of her apartment. She was lucky one of her roommates moved her car before leaving because the tree came down right where the car would have been.

Classes had just started back up at Coastal Carolina when I arrived, so I spent Thursday lounging around the apartment until one of my friends roommates told me it was Treat Yo Self Day, so we went to Taco Bell and then to Walmart to get ice cream. Friday, I went to campus with my best friend for fired chicken Friday. After, we watched a lot of Netflix. Saturday we went on an adventure!

Saturday we went to a put out golf place. It was escorting because there was a group of us who went. We all are competitive so it was a fun adventure. I ended up losing one ball... oops, and one of the other people lost one too. I ended up getting second place, which never happens for me. Then we had a bogo deal with Chipotle that was buy one get one. I'm not one that normally buys Chipotle, but it was a good deal. Later on in the day, my best friend had to go to work so I stayed back and watched the Ohio State Football game.

All in all is was a great fall break and I wasn't quite ready to head back to classes. But it is an experience I won't soon forget.

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.
