A Definitive List Of The 10 Best Things About Pittsburgh

No matter where you go, there is always someone from Pittsburgh. Being from Pittsburgh is accepted by some and shunned by others. Whether you are straight from the city or from the greater-Pittsburgh area, you know that there are many great things about the city that everyone loves.

1. Mount Washington Incline

There is no better way to see and embrace all of the city's beauty.

2. Primanti Bros.

Yes, those are fries on a sandwich. Yes, it is delicious.

3. Museums

Whether you go to the Mattress Factory or the Science Center, there is a museum for everyone.

4. Sports

Whether you are at PNC Park watching the Pirates, Heinz field watching the Steelers or PPG Paints Arena watching the Penguins, you are in for a good time and a good game.

5. Ketchup

The home of Heinz ketchup and a staple in all fridges.

6. Bridges

We aren't called the "City of Bridges" for no reason. Pittsburgh has over 400 bridges!

7. Language

"Pittsburghese" is real. If you have ever talked to someone from the city, you have probably heard a few words that you didn't think were real, such as "slippy," "yinz" and "jagoff."

8. The Strip District

Whether you want to shop, eat, look at street art or do all three, the strip is a great place to visit!

9. Eat'n Park

Whether you want Sunday morning brunch or somewhere to hang out with your friends at 2 a.m. Eat'n Park is the perfect place to go.

10. Kennywood

There's nothing better than being able to go to Pittsburgh's own amusement park and ride some rides and eat some potato patch fries.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
