The ABC's of Winthrop University

Eagle pride in 26 letters.

77
The ABC's of Winthrop University

A- All Student Announcements

Who actually reads these every day? *keeps scrolling*

B- Big Stuff

Do you really even go to Winthrop if you don't have a picture on Instagram of you posted up with our mascot?

C- Common Time

AKA rush hour on campus. Avoid Thomson, Scholar's, and any major crosswalks.


D- Diversity

You're exposed to everything at Winthrop. We definitely pride ourselves on our diversity.

E- Eagle Express

When you're craving a midnight snack but everything else is closed.

F- Fire, Fire

It's always lit at Burger Studio.

G- Greek Life

Alpha, beta, chi, delta ... No matter what you rush, find a family.

H- Homecoming

Tailgating, basketball, lots of events throughout the week... What could be better?

I- ICONIC

Speaking of homecoming... We haven't forgotten about that concert.

J- Joining every club at Convocation...

K- ...Knowing you can't handle all of that.

Oops.

L- Legion

Basically Narnia.

M- Midterms

Whyyyyyyyyyyy?

N- Nametags

It's a rite of passage here. Once you get one, you get some street cred. But they're also pretty addicting.

O- Orientation Leaders

They're basically your first BFF at Winthrop.

P- Preview Days

AKA - you KNOW Thomson is gonna be on point!!

Q- Quiet Hours

Everyone's favorite part of community living.

R- Resident Assistant

They're your parents away from home. They support you at your lowest and humble you up at your highest. They're always there to listen to you and give you good advice. But sometimes they're just embarrassingly crazy.

S- Scholar's Walk

Grab your Eno and your bae during spring and snuggle under the stars... But just make sure you avoid it during Common Time. (PS - Can you find the proposal brick?)

T- Tillman

That fourth floor haunted tour, though....

U- Using an alternate route to avoid running into certain people.

Why else do you think there are four different ways to get to DiG's? ...Okay, so maybe it's not for the same reason, but we'll go with it.

V- Very loud upstairs neighbors

I may or may not have broken an umbrella by beating on the ceiling, telling the people above me to keep it down.... Not sorry about it.

W- Winthrop Worms

Speaking of umbrellas, better keep it over you in the spring cause if not, you'll find little green worms everywhere.

X- Crosswalks

WAIT.

Y- Yelling at the cars that don't stop for you to cross

Hate to break it to you, but the whole "I dare you to hit me, I'll get free tuition" thing only applies if its a campus-operated vehicle.

Z- ZZzzzzzz

Better go to sleep at a decent time tonight. Don't you have class tomorrow?

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...

StableDiffusion

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.
