Thirteen Things That Hold True If You're A Tewksbury Native

Tewksbury may seem like just another small suburban town in Massachusetts, but it has it's own little quirks.

1. Jimbos.

Just about everyone in Tewksbury knows Jimbos is the famous place of the Redmen Special and is equally famous with the teenagers in town.

2. Livingston.


Whether you liked it or not, just about everybody did some sport on the Livingston Street Fields. And if you didn't, I'm sure you were playing on the playground across the street.

3. Deli King.


Granted, Tewksbury has multiple breakfast places through out, but nothing beats the meal you can get at Deli King.

4. Traffic on 38.

Main Street in the evening is a pain. You know if it's past 5 o'clock and you have to travel on 38, you're in trouble because the light at Main and Shawsheen holds just about everyone up in their daily travels.

5. Motel Caswell.


Ahh. Motel Caswell. The place no one dared to go.

6. Redmen.

I know recently our name has been questioned, and almost changed, but there's nothing like being a proud Redmen, and that won't be taken away from us.

7. Fireworks From The Market Basket Parking Lot.


I'm sure at some point in your childhood years, and maybe even still, you sat in the parking lot of Market Basket on Main Street seeing that it has a perfect view of the fireworks on 4th of July

8. Perfecto's.


We all know deep down that perfecto's coffee is actually way better than Dunkin Donuts.

9. Wameset Lanes.


I know this is new, but it seems to be very popular with the people in town, with bowling and great food. And it did take the long overdue spot of Motel Caswell.

10. Tewksbury High School.


I know not everyone goes/ went to the high school that is from Tewksbury, but this is definitely something that is important to the people in our town. Just being granted a brand new school a few years ago, the new high school is something that members of Tewksbury are proud of.

11. Sports.


Just like people being proud of the high school, we're definitely proud of the sports that come along with it. Football being the most popular amongst us in Tewksbury, but that's not saying that people here aren't proud of every sport in town, from youth league all the way up to high school.

12. Tewksbury vs. Wilmington.


Our biggest rivalry is with the next town over, Wilmington. You know how competitive we are when it comes down to the annual Thanksgiving Day Game against them, even holding a pep rally at the high school the day before. And my I say, Tewksbury always dominates.

13. You correct people when they pronounce our town wrong.


It bothers you to no end when people pronounce our town 'Tuks-bury' instead of 'Tooks-bury' and you're constantly correcting them as a joke but secretly you don't think it's funny.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
