17 Undeniable Signs You Go To The University Of Wisconsin

1. You know that 30 degrees isn’t cold... negative 30 degrees is.

Because of this, you MUST have a jacket that goes at least to your knees.

2. On the other hand, you know that 60 degrees in April is HOT.

Even if there is still snow on the ground, people will be in shorts.

3. Walking on a frozen lake is not only acceptable, but also encouraged.


In fact, people actually place furniture on the lake each year, which makes for great Instagrams.

4. As soon as that frozen lake unfreezes, it is completely acceptable to swim in it.

Unfrozen lake=so many activities.

5. Snow days are for babies.


If anything, there should be days dedicated to it being too cold to be outside for more than 30 minutes.


6. On those days when it is too cold to be outside for an extended period of time, class will still not be cancelled.

But don’t worry, they will be handing out hot chocolate to make up for it.


7. You have had to attempt to explain what a cheese curd is on several occasions.


My go-to response is to describe it as a mini mozzarella stick but with cheddar cheese.

8. When someone says “eat shit,” you automatically respond “fuck you.”


Not really sure where this tradition comes from, but it's definitely a highlight of a Wisconsin football game.

9. Going to the farmer’s market makes you love Wisconsin even more.



There is nothing better than walking around and tasting cheese all morning.

10. You have probably cried at least once in College Library or Memorial Library.


Speaking of libraries, you are either a College or Memorial type of person.


11. You have gotten lost in Humanities.


This building was designed in order for you to be late for class.

12. The terrace is one of your favorite places on campus.

You probably have thought about the best way to steal one of these chairs.

13. Your hair has literally frozen from going outside after showering.


Yeah.. it happens.

14. You plan your second semester around the locations of the buildings.

Whatever you have to do in order to spend the least amount of time outside, the better.

15. You try to avoid having classes up Bascom.


I'm sorry, but there's no way walking up this hill only burns the calories of one Cheeto.

16. The 80 in the winter is your worst nightmare.

Props to you if you can find a way onto this ridiculously crowded bus in time for class, let alone get it to stop for you.

17. You freak out whenever "Jump Around" is played.

It doesn't matter where you are, you will start jumping.

To sum it up...

Whenever someone asks why you go to Wisconsin, you can’t even come up with a response because it is the most amazing college in the country, and you feel bad for anyone who doesn't go here.

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.

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.
