The 15 Stages Of Missing Penn State:  As Told By Dwight Schrute

Everybody looks forward to summer, but Penn Staters know that the excitement is short-lived because we simply can't wait to get back to the happiest of valleys. Attending Penn State is like a year-long summer because no matter the season, there's always something to look forward to. Those of us working over the summer know that our real vacation begins late August. This anticipation of another Penn State school year happens gradually, and then all at once. Here are the 15 stages of missing Penn State as told by Dwight Schrute:

1. Hearing other people talk about how great their school is.

2. Buying your football season pass and thinking about beating Temple this year.

3. Wearing your PSU shirt out and hearing "We Are!"

4. Skyping your college friends.

5. Trash-talking Michigan and Ohio before the season even starts.

6. When someone asks if you know their distant family member who went to Penn State forever ago.

7. Seeing friends depart for ArtsFest without you.

8. Craving Insomnia Cookies, Canyon pizza, Panda Express and grilled stickies.

9. At this point you're even missing the old-timey ways of Central PA.

10. Using LionPath and reminiscing about the ELion days.

11. When you notice you've lost your freshman 15 and set out to regain it.

12. And the ice cream in your hometown just doesn't compare to Berkey Creamery.

13. You're already planning syllabus week.

14. But you still have more time to get zero work done.

15. Until you can pack up the car and head to Happy Valley.

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.

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.
