Five Things I Miss About College

Since everything has been shut down, I have been left with my thoughts about life and how much I miss college.

Missouri State has been my home for five years now and since basically campus has been closed and shut down there are five things I miss about school.

Actually going to class

As much as I always complained about going to class, I now realize I took it for granted. I really do love going to class. I love going and being able to see people and discuss with the professor and other students about the class and the topics that we were talking about. I also learn better when I am able to sit face to face and take notes and be in the now. Doing school online just does not do it for me, I am always so distracted and and I have no motivation. I miss waking up early and walking to class to start the new day. I want things to go back to the way things were, I am ready for it.

Study dates with my best friends

Studying by yourself is always nice, but studying with those who are very committed to passing the class with you are the best kind of people to study with. There were times were my friends and I would study date in the library and get stuff down and then there would be the times where we would be in the study room and just talk like there is no tomorrow and get stuff semi done. I miss having the study sessions especially since we would be able to teach each other something that we weren't too sure of and learn from each other. I just miss my best friends in general, laughing, joking, talking about silly things, and just being together all together.

Sports

Since my freshman year of college, I went to every sporting event that Missouri State had to offer. I didn't have a car and so doing things on campus was my way of keeping sane. The three sports that I really love are volleyball, hockey, and baseball. I went to every home game. Baseball is a spring sport and I was so excited for this season. Going to sporting events was my way of relaxing and having fun with friends. Then the Virus hit and sports got canceled and I miss it.

Seeing people on Campus

Being able to walk to class and see people on campus was always cool. I always loved how busy campus would be when it was super nice and people were out enjoying the sun or studying outdoors. Seeing campus very lively just made me smile and appreciate the opportunity I have to go to a school like Missouri State.

The Fountain

I would be lying if I said I did not miss the fountain. In my opinion, the fountain is a statement for Missouri State. Whenever I would have a bad day or if I was needing to do something, I would take walks to the fountain and sit there pondering about about just anything. I could sit there for hours just listening to the water or just admiring the beauty of it. Every time I walked by it, I would always smile or take a picture. Now that campus has basically closed, I miss being able to walk by it and dipping my toes in the water.

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.

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.
