Studies In The Sun Is Just One Of The Perks Of Going To School In The South
Julia Smith

Currently, all my friends and family are clenching their teeth just to walk to their cars, turning their seat warmers on to the max, and trying to survive the final dreadful months of winter. Alabama is a great school, but don't get me wrong the summer is the cherry on top.

Although home may be far from home, I'm glad I can finally put my sweaters and boots away and pull out the cute tanks and live in my swimsuits!

Soak in the studies... and the sun

If I was home, I would be finishing up my semester hoping the sun would come out and deal with a little chill, but in Bama, I can get work done by the poolside. What I love is spending my time in the sun, finishing up homework, eating and napping in the sun. The sun is not only good for your skin, but for your soul.

Weekends at the pool.

Every weekend as soon as my homework is finished, It's always fun to spend the day by the pool. The best thing about Alabama apartments are the complimentary pools for all residents and all there friends to enjoy. If you are a real fan of water, take a trip out to lake Nicol and either sunbathe on the cliff side or paddleboard the day away.

Sunny Side Up

There is nothing like soaking in the sun with some great branch food. Either Sweet Home Food Bar has aesthetic outside seating. You can enjoy some rays and great breakfast at Another Broken Egg and sit by the river.

Run In the Sun

The river walk is the most beautiful place to walk and talk with friends, break a sweat with a quick run, or just sit, relax, and enjoy nature.

ICE CREAM

If you don't go to Ingram Farms on a warm day in Tuscaloosa, you are definitely missing out. Take a quick drive our to Northport and get a scoop or two of Bama's gem and best ice cream you will ever taste

Content Creating

I don't know about you, but its really hard to take pictures outside when it is below zero. If you go out to breakfast or just spending some time in the sun, snap a quick pic to show everyone why going to school in the South is the best thing ever!

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.
