You're Definitely A Rowan Prof If You Can Relate To These 16 Things

Wind tunnels, long waits on food, construction, and PARKING.

Rowan University: also known as one of the only good things about South Jersey. No offense to all you South Jersians, but it's kind of true. Rowan is a second home to many and a place I have grown to love, even with all of its issues and mishaps.

There are certain things that go on in Glassboro that just aren't like anywhere else in New Jersey. If you're a Rowan student or alumni, there's no way you won't be able to relate to these 16 things.

 1.   You have to carry an umbrella at all times because rain comes out of nowhere.

It can be a bright and beautiful day when you leave for class, but you're in the middle of a rainstorm once you get out. It's always rainy in Glassboro.

2. You have to wait over an hour just to eat food.

RIP to buffet style. Tapingo takes forever!

 3. 322 is insane, but you walk right into the middle of the street anyway.

Every college student dreams of getting hit by a car and having their tuition paid for, and it's no different at Rowan.

 4. You constantly complain about your school colors.

Brown and gold? Seriously?

5. Construction is never not going on.

It's NEVER-ENDING.

 6. You know the worst building on campus is Robinson.

It's pure torture sitting in there, no matter the time of day. It feels like the building has been around since the stone age.

 7. You still call Rowan “Glassboro State” from time to time.

Got to show some respect to the place that started it all.

 8. The campus turns into a wind tunnel once the cold weather comes around.

Sometimes, you can't even look up when you're walking because the wind is THAT painful.

 9.  You’re still not really sure what a Prof is.

All you know is you're proud to be one!

 10. You wonder if the trains will ever stop running through campus.

Do they really have to honk at 2 A.M. when I'm trying to sleep?

11. The traffic is never-ending.

Walking around Glassboro will get you to where you need to go much faster than driving.

12. Your Rowan Bucks disappear one month into the semester, and they’re all spent on food.

All of the late night Domino's and Cookie Munchers really add up.

13. Living on campus means dying from a heat stroke. 

The rooms without AC are unbearable during the first few weeks of school.

14. It's super weird when you meet someone that isn't from Jersey.

Almost every student at Rowan is from somewhere in New Jersey, so when you hear someone is out of state, you always ask, "What made you want to come here?"

15. You have to constantly fight with the WiFi. 

It is always disconnecting, no matter where you are on campus.

16. Parking is outrageous.

Too many students, not enough spots. It is nothing less than chaos.

Despite all of its quirks, Rowan is home and always will be. Roll Profs!

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.
