The ABCs Of Uptown Towson

O is for overrated, which describes Uptown in a word.

The ABCs Of Uptown Towson

A: Alcohol

Let’s be honest, this is the only reason you go uptown anyways.

B: Beat The Clock

Do you beat the clock or does the clock beat you? Answer: the clock always wins

C: CVP

You only still go here because it’s the only place that accepts your fake.

D: (Lil') Dickey's

Standing on the wall is a Towson rite of passage.

E: Eating everything in sight

Whether it’s Lotsa, Kerb, McDonalds, Insomnia, or Slice, catch me at every single one of them after a night out.

F: Frat Boys

You can recognize Brad and Chad from Apple Theta Chai by their vineyard vines, Patagonia, and timbs. They can be seen with a juul in hand and will probably have just finished shotgunning a four loko.

G: Greene Turtle

So. Many. Stairs. But so worth it once you actually make the climb up.

H: Hyde

There have definitely been nights where I’ve gone uptown completely sober just to pet Hyde and get a hotdog.

I: Insomnia Cookies

Your uptown experience was forever changed once Insomnia Cookies came to Towson.

J: Juul

*Can’t see Rec Room through all the juul smoke* Will be seen in the hand of every Brad and Chad. Chances are you will see someone hitting a juul or charging one at any given point throughout your night.

K: Kent House

The quietest place uptown. You go here for 20 minutes when Turtle and Rec get to crowded and you need a break from all the people.

L: Lotsa

The Uptown holy grail.

M: Mozzarella Sticks from Kerb

For when the line at Lotsa is just too long.

N: Natty Light

Usually being shotgunned by Brad or Chad, Natty Light is effectively overpriced water in a can.

O: Overrated

Uptown in a word.

P: Pitchers

These are dangerous because you order one for the pics to post on Snapchat but 5 minutes later you are already half way done with it.

Q: Questioning my life choices

*Immediately regrets every life decision you made the next morning*

R: Rec Room

Where you go when Turtle denies your fake.

S: Sorority Girls

The reason you can’t get into Rec until 12 because Delta Everest Pie decided to have a social.

T: Torrent

Had to put this on the list because they’re making a comeback… apparently.

U: Unbuttoned Shirts

The longer you stay uptown the more hairy chests you see.

V: Vineyard Vines

Can be seen on every frat brother. Usually identified by their t-shirt, quarter zip pullover, or hat. They are usually more protective of their vineyard vines then they are of their own well-being.

W: Walking Home

For when the uber prices are just too expensive.

X: Xs on Hands

The easiest way to tell who is underage.

Y: York Road

The road where it happens

Z: ZZZs

The sound made after an eventful night uptown.

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.
