The 10 Worst Things About Pacific University
Jake Gillingham

College can be a stressful time for everyone. Here are the 10 worst things about my college, Pacific University.

1. You have to take tests and finals.

Some people don't test well. When most of your classes depend on your test grade, it can be easy to fall behind.

2. Your best friends are from different states.

Some of your best friends are from all over the country. Breaks can become lonely.

3. The community showers.

Personally, I like a nice private shower where I am not required to wear shoes. These community showers smell awful and are dirty.

4. There are bears. Everywhere.

It is rare for me to not come across a bear on our campus on the day-to-day. One wrong move and you're dead.

5. The professors are literally werewolves.

That cold, dead stare in their eyes. It's no wonder classes are only scheduled during the day time.

6. Campus is in the middle of nowhere.

For those of you who don't know, our campus is in the middle of a desert. There is only sand for miles.

7. The annual running of the bulls.

Who knew that college would be this dangerous. If the bears weren't bad enough, once a year you have to watch out for the bulls.

8. The landsharks.

Most campuses have Campus Security. Here at Pacific University, we have landsharks keeping the peace.

9. They only serve gumbo.

Gumbo for breakfast. Gumbo for lunch. Gumbo for dinner. Even gumbo desserts. What the hell even is gumbo?

10. The aliens.

For those who aren't from around here, there is an "unexplained" noise in the Grove. It is definitely aliens.

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.

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.
