Flagler Fashion: Suits And Skateboards

The end of the semester is a time of struggle, stress, regret and fear. All of a sudden, there are 12 assignments due in the next three days. Most professors decide this is the perfect time to fit in one final presentation before finals begin. Flagler College is no exception, with countless students walking around in business casual attire for their last presentation. But because Flagler is so unique you get the pleasure of watching these male students in suits zip by on skateboards. (This can be women in dresses too.)

Because we are a school by the beach, many of the students here know how to surf and also skateboard. At Flagler, getting around on a skateboard tends to be one of the better options. It's faster than walking when you find parking at FEC five minutes before your class in Pollard starts. There's always a nice breeze on ridiculously humid days. And you are the envy of everyone walking to class because they don't know how to skateboard (me). Obviously, just because a student needs to look professional to give a presentation, doesn't mean they're going to stop skateboarding to class.

It's interesting to see students in suits and riding a skateboard because it makes me think about the clothes they usually wear. They're typically in more Tyler the Creator-esque apparel. For those of you who don't know what that looks like or who Tyler the Creator is, he is pictured below. Very fun patterns and comfortable to optimal skating pleasure.

In the end, do what you've got to do to get that degree. And if that means wearing a suit and riding a skateboarding to class, then you do just that and with gusto. In all fairness, I'm actually jealous you're coordinated enough to skateboard and don't have to walk to class.

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.
