5 Things I Miss About My College Town

Due to COVID-19, I went back to my hometown a month earlier than originally planned. I have loved being home with my family and friends but, it is safe to say I am already missing Tallahassee. It has made me realize some of the things I never thought I would miss, but I do!

1. FSU Campus. 

Florida State has one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen. The brick buildings and trees everywhere make such an amazing scenery for going for a walk/run. There are so many different spots on campus to sit down and just relax. You can even lay out in the sun on Landis Green or throw a football around. Just simply being on campus is something I miss.

2. Walking everywhere. 

This is something I never thought that I would miss. Walking everywhere is exhausting at times but I will admit, in South Florida we drive everywhere and I am tired of it. Everything the students need is typically within walking distance from either campus or student-living apartments. Simply having to walk somewhere is so nice and is something I never expected to miss.

3. My apartment. 

I MISS MY ROOM!!! My apartment in Tallahassee is so nice and is located right next to campus. We have a pool, gym, study rooms, and some of the best staff working there! We even get a monthly calendar with a bunch of different events or food places that will be brought to our lobby. They really try and make our living situation as easy as possible and I am so comfortable living there.

4. My friends. 

I can not even describe how much I miss my people. My friends and I are together nearly every single day and not seeing them has been killing me. I know we are all doing our own things right now but it makes me so sad to think about how much fun we all would've had if he did not have our semester cut short. However, it makes me sooo excited to think about how excited I will be to be back there and reunite with them!

5. POTS!!!

Who doesn't miss Pots...let's be real. I am in desperate need of a lunchbox and Happy Hour right about now. I miss the music, the dancing, the fun that Pots brings. Every week, Happy Hour does not disappoint and when we all get back to school it will be even bigger and better!!

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.
