1. Running in the various parks (being able to do Irwin and Waveny in the same run is why I love distance runs)

2. Zumbachs Coffee > Anything you can make with a Keurig

3. It’s like driving in a Robert Frost poem

4. Sandwiches from Tony’s Deli beat any dining hall food in America (Will always recommend their Turkey Club on Gluten Free toast)

5. I refuse to get my hair cut anywhere but Colonial Barbershop

6. The Salmon Bowl at Gates tho

7. Shopping anywhere but Walter Stewart’s Market feels wrong

8. Jeliff Mill may be the prettiest road in all of New England ( an opinion I formed after driving it twice a day all of senior and junior year)

9. Chicken Joes New Canaan Chicken, can’t be matched

10. Being around someone who understands the great Joe’s v Viccolo’s Debate

11. I’ve been craving tacos from Chef Luis since I left

12. DOGS. EVERYWHERE.

13. Visiting old teachers at NCHS= Priceless

14. Where else can you see a Jeep on every street?

15. Somehow Elm Street Books is still cheaper than my College Bookstore

16. College Gyms will never be as nice as the Y (even though it feels like it’s being renovated constantly)

17. If you’re bored you can see an architectural marvel, the Glass House

18. Seeing old friends is always wonderful, particularly when you can do it at NC Diner ( whether you are there at 2 pm or 2 am)

19. If you’re bored for some reason, go to Tallmadge Hill and hop on a train to NY (that is if you can find parking)

20. As someone who has worked in Kiwanis, I can assure you there is no sea monster in it

21. Movies are somehow better when you see them at the playhouse

22. No college campus has paddle tennis courts, but Waveny does

23. Once a Ram, always a Ram

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
