What I’m Going To Miss The Most About Tallahassee

My home away from home.

As much as I say "I can't wait to be home" or "I can't wait to graduate to get out of here", I have to admit that I am going to miss Tallahassee. While Tallahassee doesn't even come close to in comparison to Miami, there are certain things that I'm going to miss about this city I was so lucky to call my home.

The distance from point A to point B.

The worst thing about living in a big city is the distances from point a to point b and the traffic. Miami has some of the worst traffic turning your ten-minute drive into thirty. Tallahassee is the complete opposite. Although it does have a little bit of traffic it doesn't compare to Miami's. Getting from point A to point B takes a maximum of twenty minutes. Since everything is close by, you have more time to accomplish everything you have to do.

$10 AYCD.

College students are always looking for good deals on just about anything and everything, and one of the best deals they can ever find is $10 all you can drink. It doesn't get better than that. $10 doesn't even get you one drink in Miami.

Tennessee Street.

Tennessee street has just about everything you can possibly need. There is a wide variety of restaurants one can choose from. You can find anything from gas stations, supermarkets, bars, etc.

Living close to campus. 

One of my biggest pet peeves is having to spend twenty or thirty minutes circling the parking garage trying to find a parking spot. This semester I moved to an apartment building that's two minutes away from campus. By living so close to campus, I was able to get at least an extra hour of sleep every day and the stress of being late to class has completely disappeared.

Missing home.

This may sound a bit weird but I am going to miss, missing home. Living in Tallahassee, made me homesick, more than I would like to admit. I have always said that I wanted to live away from home, I wanted to live in a new city to experience new things and to be independent, and while I enjoyed my time away, missing home made me appreciate the things I have back home even more. Me missing Miami and my family made coming home that much more special. Being away has made me become even closer to family, and that is something I will forever be grateful for.

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.
