I just realized we have over 200 Hawkward moments and a great amount of followers. This was just a random word my roommate and I came up with and decided to create a blog of. It being our first year at New Paltz and all this has made our first year on campus way more enjoyable than it already would have been. Thanks to all of you for making it possible to keep this blog up and running. :)
Sincerely,
The Hawkward-Bloggers
You’re LARPing nearby one of the rugby fields, and a topless girl runs towards you, asking to join you all, and, after she is given a sword, starts fighting with the president of the club.
THERE’S NOTHING TO BE HAWKWARD ABOUT BECAUSE CLASSES ARE OVER! OH YEAHHH!!!! Have fun during the summer dear followers!! I guess its back to being regular old awkward.
(Submissions will still be accepted! )
Someone eggs somebody in front of Dubois and screams YOLO! Then runs away…
The words “playa” and “flaya” appear in the subject line of a campus-wide email from Res. Life.
“So whachu doin’ next semester Playa?”
When asking a female, use ‘Flaya’ (female playa).
You carry your fishtank around the dorm looking for a bathroom that doesn’t smell and you end up using the guys bathroom… and you’re a girl.
About Esopus being “awkward kid hall”, we completely understand that this is just a stereotype and of course, every hall will have “awkward” (put in quotations because we are not trying to define what is considered socially acceptable) as well as some not awkward people. We were just addressing the title it’s been given by other students. In regards to the partying scene, we’re aware lots of parties happen everywhere, Lenape and Esopus aren’t an exception. Sorry to offend you guys! But we really didn’t mean anything by this. :T
We also received this bit of info from chillin-metaphorically.
“To the person who asked about dorms: If you’re going to NP and choosing a dorm for next year, DON’T pick one in Parker Quad (Scudder, Gage, Capen, Bliss)- in 1991 several transformers blew up in Parker quad spilling toxic waste. They cleaned up the spill but didn’t clean the ventilation systems that the toxins got in in the dorms. These toxins are really really bad for your brain and some NP grads who lived in Parker quad got really sick. I can’t wait to leave Scudder.”
I honestly have never heard this until now but hey… THE MORE YOU KNOW. :D Also, here’s a link confirming this.
Edit: In a message from spreadd-y0ur-wings
“I live in Bliss. The toxicity isn’t enough to effect us now. So don’t worry about it. I’ve never been sick living in this hall.”
Hopefully this holds true! Haha

Again, sorry for saying something that may have sounded ignorant. We’re not judgmental people! :c Thanks for all of your input!
mkboli asked: (cont.) Osato lives there but yes Lefevre is DEFINITELY a party dorm, maybe not next year but totally this year. The dorms do have their own personalities but you will always find some pretty amazing people no matter where you live.
Thanks for your input, we addressed some of what you said in a post! :o
Anonymous asked: A rumor about New Paltz is that each dorm building has a 'personality' (ex- Esopus and Lenape are for more "quiet and reserved" ppl). Is there truth to this?
I’d definitely have to say yes. Esopus is usually considered the “awkward kid hall” cause of all of the programs that recommend students to stay there. Lenape is quiet just because no one is really in the halls due to everyone having bathrooms/showers/sinks in their room. Some halls are known as party halls. Collango (College Hall and Shango Hall) although attached both have their differences. If you’re looking for somewhere “reserved” to live they have hours with extended quiet hours as to try and put a limit on noise/partying. Hope this helped!
You find out the guy you had drunk bar sex with turns out to be your new RA.
You walk into your section’s bathroom and someone is actually using the bathtub…
Anonymous asked: If you're not into partying, will you stand out at New Paltz? I'm a type of person who'd rather spend friday nights watching movies, will making friends be difficult?
New Paltz has a diverse atmosphere. In my opinion, it is hard to stand out at New Paltz because there are so many people. Both Hawkward bloggers are not into partying as much as what most people consider a normal college student, but we have made a lot of friends who have the same interests as us and we have plenty of fun! You will definitely find a group of friends that like to spend Friday nights watching movies! A great way to meet new people (your first year here) that share your interests is by:
By the way, making new friends takes some getting to know, but that’s how myself and the other hawkward blogger became such great friends! <3
Hope that helps!
fairwind reblogged your post: #228- That Hawkward moment when…
WHOA really?! when did that happen?
Today at around 7:30 pm…
The fire at Oscars is extinguished, but there is so much smoke everyone starts choking and then the students get kicked out.
