10 Things You Know To Be True If You Grew Up In Lewis Center
Columbus Dispatch

Growing up in Lewis Center was full of experiences unique to the small city we call home. Here are 10 things you absolutely know to be true if you're from good ole Lewis Center, Ohio.

1. Going to Kroger is practically a school reunion: better look nice for a Kroger trip because there is no chance of not seeing someone you know.

2. Alum Creek was your go-to place in the summer as a kid. By the time you could actually drive there yourself you never wanted to go because you realized how disgusting it is.

3. Whether you could ice skate or not, you were at Friday night meltdown at the Chiller in seventh grade. Why freeze outside in the winter when you can freeze inside, while falling!

4. High School football games could rival those in the south. One word: drumline

5. You knew to expect the entire student section (and an hour wait before you get your food) at Steak 'n Shake after one of those high school games: slightly claustrophobic

6. No matter how much you try to explain that you go to the original Olentangy, you will still get asked if that is Orange or Liberty. What did i just say?!

7. The news of sticky fingers coming back is talked about more than Pokémon Go and Donald Trump combined. Finally my summer can be complete again

8. Even though no one really has any idea why, the number seven was once the funniest thing. How the least funniest thing in history spread like wildfire will always be a mystery to me.

9. I will never understand what is so hard to understand that Old State before Orange Road is 55 mph. It's literally posted on signs, why are you going 45?

10. You’re not truly a resident if you haven’t at least once called it the LC. "Ugh, why is there nothing to do in the LC?" "I don't know, want to go to Kroger?"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
