What I'll Miss About UNCW: Part 2

I love this place.

What I'll Miss About UNCW: Part 2
UNCW Photography

I love UNCW, I really do. Coming from a small town that's not on the map, I never experienced true city life until I got to Wilmington. It's great to be in the thick of things and get to know a new community.

1. Wag Bingo

You haven't lived until you've played bingo in Wag. It's entirely different from other bingo games -- at different points during the game, the hosts (shout out to UNCWeekends) ask for various random items, such as mirrors, hotel room keys, and pictures from a phone. You can also dine while playing.

2. Mini Hawk-In/Hawk-In

There's nothing like sitting in a theater full of people for 12-24 hours. Every year, these two events are planned and executed by ACE Films, complete with dinner, snacks, and contests. There's something cool about sitting in your pajamas with a room full of people doing the same.

3. Shadowcasts

On that note, ACE's shadowcasts. Though the most notable is Rocky Horror Picture Show, there are two others: Moulin Rouge and Scott Pilgrim. These are annual events and are completely cast by students.

4. The Hockey Team

Oh, the hockey team. I'll miss seeing them Rollerblade, skate and bike down Chancellor's advertising their next game. They start off at Wag before heading down the entirety of Chancellor's, and they're pretty hard to miss.

5. Chancellor's

I have a love/hate relationship with this walkway. It's a long, half-mile trek that I usually dread. It's horrible to walk in both summer and winter (not a lot of shade and no buffer zones from the harsh wind), but I almost always can spot someone I know walking in front of me or across from me.

6. Chalking

When walking down Chancellor's and you happen to look down, there is almost always chalking. Sometimes it's beautiful artwork, sometimes it's happy birthday wishes, but it's almost always advertising for an event or a club.

There are so many different aspects of UNCW that I love, and I'm really happy that this is where I spent my four years.

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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.
