What I Missed About College Station

Because there's no place like sweet home College Station.

What I Missed About College Station

Well Ags, Summer is over and it's time for us to head back to college station where we belong. No matter where you are from, we all know you missed the wonderful College Station, Texas. I mean really where else could the entire city be named after a college?

Dining Dollars

Getting food with friends is hardly any fun, when it breaks the bank. In college dining dollars are the best thing ever invented. Guilt free Starbucks and Chick-fil-A? Sign me up, please.

The Coffee Houses

Who wants to study at home, when you could be acting like a hipster? Whether your spot is The Brew, Sweet Eugene's, or Lupus, we all like to hold a warm coffee cup and have "intentional conversations" or at least act like were studying somewhere.

The flag room

Listening to any other piano sounds pretty lame when you compare it to Texas A&M’s flag room piano. Also, if you have a friend who is able to play it, it’s safe to say you basically know a celebrity.

Not having to see burnt orange places

I think we all can agree that no one looks well groomed in burnt orange. Seeing that color this summer gave me a headache a few times. Also, people in this color tend to not be fond of when I say the letters "T.U." to refer to their school. I'm not sure why people get so mad when I'm just telling the truth. Anyways, Aggies, we are so lucky we do not have to look at that awful color all semester. Plus, Maroon soothes the soul, it’s a proven fact.

Waiting for an hour at Walmart... Ok maybe not this one ...

What fun is going to the store without waiting in a line forever? Freshmen, please come buy more things your never going to use in your dorm room, we didn’t need more toothpaste from Walmart anyway, well live! I’m sure my crush loves the smell of Gumby’s in my breath.


Gumby's

Speaking of Gumby’s, I’m not really sure what they hang on the walls and the smell of the place may make me question what is even inside the pizza rolls in the first place. However, we all have to gain that freshmen/sophomore/junior/senior 15 somewhere, and those greasy pizza rolls with Jalapeño Ranch are sure to do the trick. Oh, Gumby’s, how we missed you so.

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.
