I Was Proud To Go To Rutgers University Even Before I Knew

In honor of Paulie, a Rutgers alum cast on "Big Brother" this season, I decided to do some research to see what other kind of television stars have also gone to this fabulous university. Rutgers is a big school, and there are bound to be some impressive stars that are Rutgers graduates. So, I did some research and found some pretty cool television stars that were once Rutgers students just like some of us.


1. Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis of the HBO show "Sex In The City" is in fact a Rutgers alum. She was in Mason Gross School of the Arts and has gone on to be a Broadway and television star, already with an Emmy win under her belt.

2. Katie Dippold

Kate Dippold is a writer and producer. After receiving her degree from Rutgers in Journalism, she became the writer and producer of "Parks and Recreation," as well as the movie "The Heat."

3. James Gandolfini

James Gandolfini, or as you may know him, Tony Soprano, has not only starred in "The Sopranos," but has also won three Emmys, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a Golden Globe. Gandolfini went to Park Ridge High School and graduated Rutgers with a communications degree.


4. Randal Pinkett

Randal won the fourth season of the television show "The Apprentice." He graduated from Rutgers, but also has four other academic degrees.


5. Sebastian Stan

Sebastian was in many recognizable television shows, including "Gossip Girl," "Kings," "Once Upon A Time," and more. He also acted in many movies, such as "Black Swan," "Hot Tub Time Machine," and "Captain America: The First Avenger." He lived in Rockland County, New York and graduated from Mason Gross.


6. Judy Gold

Judy is a stand up comedian who is the writer and producer of "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" and "All American Girl." She actually did her first comedy routine at Rutgers after a friend had dared her.


7. Mario Batali

Mario is a famous chef who has appeared on "Iron Chef America" as well as his own show on the Food Network "Molto Mario." Mario went to Rutgers and got a degree in Spanish Theater and Business Management. The best part was that he actually worked at Stuff Yer Face!


There are many more celebrities that have attended Rutgers, including professional sports stars, other television stars, artists, musicians, chefs, and more. There are also an extraordinary amount of Rutgers alum who have made amazing science and technology advancements, along with those who have done extremely well in government, business, education, religion, and literature. I feel proud to go to a university that has not only produced so many unique and talented individuals, but one that these individuals were also proud to attend.

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.
