A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark

You will be missed.

A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark
Google Maps

A couple of days ago, levittownnow.com announced the end to a local landmark dear to the surrounding resident's hearts. This house is next to the local Wawa and has been known by many as the never-ending yard. It housed an array of objects from various children's toys to larger objects such as a boat. It was a local landmark meaning that everyone who lived nearby knows exactly what you are talking about when you mention the yard sale house. Several days ago, most of the yard sale objects were cleaned up and are still being cleaned up. It seems like the days of that house's legacy is over. I happen to live near this house. I felt it would be best that I wrote a farewell letter to house's yard in an attempt to me any needed closure.


To the seemingly never-ending yard sale,

It seems your time has finally come. I can honestly say I will miss you immensely.

For years I would take walks and would see you. When I was younger and bored, I would come up with various stories as to how the yard became the way it did.

You helped out so many people when they were giving directions, both tourists and residents. Without you, take out drivers, repairmen, and ups drivers would not know how to get places. Although I cannot give directions to people by saying "the house with the junk or yard sale," I can still say "the place that used to be the yard sale house."

And although there are no things left for sale, you will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,

The girl that saw you everyday

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
