I've seen some pretty big changes in regard to Longwood's development over the years I've been here. From little 18-year-old me beginning her college journey to the now almost 22-year-old senior looking forward to the next steps.

There are several things I think Longwood should bring back.

1. (Most important) Outta Here

Outta Here was essentially a one-stop, grab-and-go place below the main dining area. They had the best paninis and it was where I grabbed lunch (and sometimes dinner) every day during my freshman year. Towards the end of my sophomore year they shut it down and my heart was broken - as was my bank account since I was now turning to other lunch options.

2. The "STU"

Don't get me wrong, I love Upchurch and everything that has come with it. But, the STU was my favorite homework and in-between-classes spot. The rather crappy couches hit different when studying had to happen or when you just needed a place to eat lunch and watch Netflix. With the STU came Einstein's and seeing my breakfast bagel go was another tear-jerker moment.

3. Java City

We're fortunate enough to have Starbucks now and there is still workspace in The Comma (what they replaced Java City with), but it isn't the same. Plus, the location was perfect for the afternoon pick me up on the other side of campus.

4. The sandwich station in the dining hall. 

There isn't a whole lot of Dhall food that agrees with me, but I could always count on the sandwich station. Now I have essentially no reason to step foot in the dining hall. However, I do appreciate that they do to-go containers now and the new additions and ideas they are implementing.

I know these all are food-related, but let's be honest, that's what really matters to a college student.

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.
