13 Signs That You Grew Up In Wheeling, WV
Only In Your State

Growing up in the "Friendly City" is something that not many get to experience, and the ones that do are very lucky to have done so. Our quaint little city of Wheeling may not seem like much, but it's still home to us and always will be. Here are some signs that you grew up in the friendliest city of them all:

1. You currently attend or graduated from either Wheeling Park, Linsly, or Central.



2. You remember going to countless birthday parties at Foggy Bottom.



3. It was so totally cool to hang out at the Ohio Valley Mall with friends.



4. You absolutely hate when people mispronounce Oglebay.



5. Your weekends are spent taking late-night runs to Sheetz with friends.


5. Dicarlo's Pizza is a staple of your diet...


6. And so are the greek wings from The Alpha.


7. As a kid, you were more excited to see Moondog than Santa Claus at the end of the Christmas Parade.


8. The Festival of Lights is your least favorite thing about the holiday season because it's the only time we actually have traffic.


9. The majority of your homecoming/prom pictures were taken in front of the Oglebay Mansion or the waterfront.



10. You use Pittsburgh as a reference point when describing our location.


11. Getting a geotag on Snapchat was a REALLY big deal.


12. It's highly likely that you have at least one Instagram picture of you at the Overlook.



13. You love having that "Wheeling Feeling."

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.
