Why I Enjoy Going to a Small School
Allysa Gibson

Whether you attend a small, private college or a huge university, there are perks with each. I love my small school and here's why:

1. There's something for everyone

With many different majors as well as activities, you'll find your niche on campus.

2. Different kind of classes

There are so many interesting classes. Even a women's class about Beyonce. #slay!

3. Diverse group of students

My school has a lot of international and exchange students which allows for much diversity on campus.

4. Many clubs and activities

Want to join quidditch? How about a cab specific to your major? Your small school will have it.

5. small class sizes

It's important to me to have smaller classes, and it makes asking questions in classes a lot less scary.

6. Cool things on campus

There's always great events on campus like free massages and crafts.

7. easy to get jobs on campus

The little offices and bookstore on campus make it easy to make some extra money.

8. You make many close connections

Between job opportunities and people that would write a letter of recommendation for you, you can make many close ties when going to a small school.

9. Your professor knows you by name

It's just nice being handed your paper personally rather than your name being called out to the class.

10. Short walks to class

It'll only take at least 5 minutes to get to class, if that!

11. The small town, homey environment

Everything and everyone seems to be connected, and it's a comforting feeling.

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.
