Thank you, Wagner College.

You're okay, I guess.

Thank you, Wagner College.
Clare McCaffrey

We all have different relationships with our colleges but Wagner is something special. It's a love-hate for most of us. We love most aspects but hate things like the Harborview Hill and the lack of heat or AC in Towers. Wagner is a home away from home, with days spend lounging in bed or playing Spike Ball on Sutter Oval. We have a lot to thank Wagner for.

1. Thank you, Admissions.

If we didn't thank the group of people who read our essays and analyzed our SAT scores then this whole article wouldn't exist. We have to give a special thank you to the people who gave us the letter saying were admitted to Wagner College. Thank you for giving me a second home.

2. Thank you, SGA.

Most of the student body was up in arms about the four year housing requirement, but the Student Government Assosiation made strides to change it. Students can now live off campus senior year if they're in good standing with Wagner. Lead by Dillon Quinn, the SGA has been making changes to improve security, housing and the overall quality of life here on campus. Thank you for hearing our complaints, compliments and everything in between.

3. Thank you, Monica and the rest of Public Safety.

We take having an open campus for granted. I have friends at other schools with gates surrounding their campuses. Public Safety works very hard to make sure we are all comfortable and without harm. They have to deal with issues from people getting transported to sending a golf cart to Harborview to get my Grandma up the hill. Public Safety is always there to answer our calls and concerns, for that we thank you.

4. Thank you, Professors and Doctors.

A college is nothing without the education to uphold it. Some professors are more likable than others, but regardless, they each make Wagner what we know it as. From our first semester LC professors to our academic advisor, every teacher we have leaves an imprint. Wagner's academic staff knows our faces and our names, we are more than just a number to them and that is something to thank them for.

5. Thank you, Wag Starbucks.

Especially to Faiza for making me take fruit to fill my morning swipe. Mornings are never joyful but everyone behind the counter never fails to make me smile. I've never had a complaint about my iced green tea and the same goes for my roommate and her vanilla bean frap. Thank you to the staff for starting my stressful days off with cheery mornings.

6. Thank you, Lee Manchester.

I can't speak for the student body, but personally I read every email. I like to know whats going on around campus and you do the job. When my friends and I see you wondering campus, it's a celebrity sighting. Thank you for knowing everything from what guest speaker is going to be in Manzulli to what sorority is having a fundraiser in Union. Geoffrey Hempill also gets a special shoutout for sending countless emails about internships. Thanks for trying to push me into the real world.

7. Thank you, friends.

Wagner is the place that brought us all together. We're Seahawks together and I wouldn't have it any other way. As freshmen, we all live in the same building and I know we're all upset to see that change for the next years to come. You have all made me love this place more than I thought possible. A place is nice but it's the people that make the memories connected to it. Thanks for being the best bunch of Seahawks that make me miss this place during break.

With summer approaching quickly, I know I'll miss the little aspects of Wagner. I'm going to miss having Joe from Harborview security greet me on late nights, I'll miss seeing familiar faces literally every place on campus and I'll miss living 20 feet away from my best friends. Thank you Wagner for giving me the best college experience.

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words.
