11 Questions I Frequently Ask Myself as a ULM Student

1. Will Stubbs 100 ever stay at a constant temperature?

If you've ever had a class in Stubbs 100, you know exactly how drastic the temperature changes can be. You go in and sit down for class on Monday and it's -14 degrees. You come back on Wednesday with a hoodie prepared for the harsh climate of Antarctica only to find it's now 700 degrees and you're drenched in sweat within minutes. You just can't win.

2. Why can't fried chicken Wednesday be every day?

Every ULM student knows what Wednesday means. Fried chicken and macaroni is served for lunch at Schulze, which brings in faculty, residents, commuters, and probably people who don't even go to ULM because it's just THAT GOOD.

3. Will people ever learn how to drive?

Okay people. This requires no explanation. Learn to drive for the sake of the rest of us.

4. Will the sprinklers ever actually water the grass and not the sidewalks?

I cannot count the number of times that I have had to walk completely out of the way to get to my destination because the sprinklers were spraying the sidewalk instead of the grass. ULM's water bill must be outrageous. Will this problem ever be solved? Who knows.

5. When and where will there be free food?

All college students can relate to this one. As a college student, we are broke and always hungry. If you offer free food, you can guarantee that I will be there.

6. Will I snag a parking spot or have to walk 10 miles to my destination?

Let's face it. Parking on campus sucks. We have over 9000 students that go to college at ULM which calls for a lot of parking that we don't have. The only way I've learned to get a good parking spot is to claim it at 8am or either get extremely lucky and catch someone pulling out of their spot. Also, parking for home football games is horrendous. If you leave campus on that day, be prepared to park on top of someone else because everything will be full.

7. Will the line at Subway be short today or will I have to eat Chick-Fil-A for the 17th time this week?

If you're ever in the SUB around lunch time then you've witnessed the long lines that can develop at Loco Rico, Einstein's, and Grille Works. Subway will have at least 20 people waiting but you have class in 20 minutes so you're forced to either grab Chick-Fil-A or risk being late to class to enjoy your sandwich.

8. Is it even possible to go a full semester without getting a parking ticket?

Most students are guilty of parking somewhere they're not supposed to, even if it is just 5 minutes to run into a building. The parking ticket people have eyes in the back of their heads and a sixth sense that allows them to know immediately when you're parked wrong. No one can get away with it. True story.

9. Will Sandel Hall ever be finished?

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm more than ready for Sandel Hall to be finished. It has been interesting watching the building develop, and I can't wait for classes and offices to move from the library and Garrett Hall (which barely has a functional air conditioner) into the newly built hall.

10. Will I ever be able to climb up the library stairs without being out of breath?

Even the mightiest of athletes are out of breath after walking up the stairs in the library. The climb to the third floor may look like not much of a journey but when you make it to the top you'll need at least 60 seconds to catch your breath.

11. Will I end up transferring somewhere else?

ULM is the perfect place to be.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
