16 Things All Easthampton Kids Know Too Well

1. Tandem is not a want, but a need.

You think, it's just a bagel place, but you're wrong...it's so much more.

2. Hampshire is actually the worst … unless we’re playing football.

It's kind of weird to love a school during the fall, but hate them every other season...

3. Everyone knows everything about you.

You're lying or unaware that there's a kid in your class with an extremely nosey/gossipy mother.

4. If you didn’t take a picture, did you even hike mount Tom?

Really, we all know what the view from the top looks like, but go ahead and post that pic of your back turned to the camera, and please caption it with a song lyric or the muscle emoji!

5. EHS’s math department needs some revision, but will probably never get it.

My heart will be happy the day EHS understands students are not failing because of their lack of ability, but because of their teachers.

6. Going to the diner at 2 AM because there’s actually nothing else to do.

The food kind of sucks a lot, but really what else is there to do?

7. Does anyone else wonder why our pond looks so classy?

Maybe our town could have used all the money they spent on the pond to fill the pot holes...

8. Mt. Toms, or Tasty Top is a must after any big win.

Is there any other way to celebrate a big win in this town? Not that I know of.

9. ….Actually it’s a must on most summer nights.

Okay, who doesn't always go there in the summer??

10. You’re lying if you hate Riffs (just don’t get the cheese fries).

Someone may have gotten sent to the hospital, but I'm gonna say Riffs bounced back, and stays winning in this town.

11. You probably know 80% of Big Y and Big E’s workers.

This could either be the reason you suck it up and go grocery shopping with your parents, or refuse to be seen in the grocery store.

12. There is really nothing to do in our town…like…ever.

There's only so many times you can hike the mountain, drive around aimlessly, or buy an iced coffee from Dunkin before you get bored, and realize that's all you do with your life.

13. You probably know an aspiring rapper.

Enough said.

14. If you get to Tandem at 10 AM on a Saturday, your favorite bagel is probably gone.

Nothing like the pain of waiting in a line out the door, only to be informed they do not have anymore Snickerdoodle bagels.

15. Are we Whoville? Who started this?

I don't know if I believe it, but I also love the fact that people think we are the inspiration of Dr. Suess's 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas.'

16. Even though you say you hate Easthampton, you know you’ll miss it one day.

Easthampton is home, no matter how much is sucks.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
