Not to be biased (but in fact I will be) West Chester University is among one of THE greatest University's I have ever come across. I mean truly from its downtown scene to the beautiful scenery on campus, West Chester is a great place to be. During most weekends the whole town is full of people who are out and about enjoying whatever the weekends may bring them. Yet, during the week many of the students are busy with school work, extracurricular activities, jobs, and usually avoiding the winter weather that Pennsylvania oh so generously provides us with.

That is except during the rare occurrences when global warming provides us with a sunny and 75-degree day in the middle of February. A warm day in West Chester is like no other, and if you've never experienced the glory let me share a glimpse of a day in the life.

1. Walking to your 8 a.m in your parka before realizing it's not actually below freezing today...and instead kind of warm?

We're foreign to this type of weather in February, so who can blame us all for dressing as we normally do to go into the usual tundra of winter.

2. The class is held outside to enjoy the rare warm day.

This is among one of the best parts of West Chester when we get a beautiful day even the professors want us to enjoy it, while still ensuring that our tuition is going towards a great education.

3. Seeing happy faces everywhere you walk (on and off campus.)

Warm weather brings a sense of extreme euphoria for everyone and it certainly shows in West Chester.


4. Every inch of the academic & residence quads is full of students.

The quads are sometimes full but not even close in comparison to the quads on warm and sunny days. It looks like a scene out of a typical college movie; students playing frisbee or tossing around a football, picnic blankets full of people doing homework, listening to music, and basking in the sun.

5. "Muscle-heads" eager to wear their freshly made cut off tee's walking around in groups.

We all know who I'm talking about, we've all seen them, and we all truly know their confidence and extreme "I don't give a f*ck" attitude is somewhat admirable to a certain degree.

6. Pop-up Hammocks in between every tree.

Students seem to have these rearing and ready to go as soon as the sun comes out.

7. Every porch and front lawn off campus being utilized for casual day-drinks and cornhole.

It's a mixture of light day drinking, games, and studying on front porches off-campus. Here at West Chester, we not only value our studies but our right to relax and unwind.

8. Super fit and attractive people exercising outdoors.

Health, fitness, wellness...you get the gist.

9. DOGS EVERYWHERE.

The sun is out and all dog owners are here to make college students day's even better by walking them around campus or in town.


10. Overall, great vibes.

West Chester is just a happy place to be, but add some sunshine and warm weather into the equation and it's a whole new level of happiness everywhere you go.

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.
