From the ice cream shops, historical landmarks, overpriced Christmas shows, and abundance of deer, it is safe to say that Bucks County, Pennsylvania is more than just a suburb outside Philadelphia. And although we may have complained about it from time to time, it is important to recognize how fortunate we are to have grown up in such a lovely town.

If you consider yourself a Bucks Countian, chances are you will relate to the following:

1. Telling people you live “45 minutes outside Philadelphia”

2. Going to the Jersey shore on weekends

3. Being either "Team Neshaminy Mall" or "Team Oxford Valley Mall"

4. But knowing the 45-minute drive to King of Prussia is always worth it

5. Rita’s sells “water ice,” not "Italian ice"

6. This is a hoagie, not a sub

7. You know what Mischief Night is

8. Odds are you took a school field trip to Pennsbury Manor, Chruchville Nature Center, Six Flags, and/or the Trenton Thunder stadium

9. You’ve taken the New Jersey transit from Hamilton to NYC

10. You took off school the day the Phillies won the World Series due to “Phillies Phever”

11. Bragging about how Pennsbury Prom, aka “The Greatest Prom in America,” takes place right in your hometown

12. You’ve been late for work waiting for ducks/geese to cross...

13. ...And have slammed the brakes due to random deer dashing in front of your car on multiple occasions

14. You used to go to the Shadybrook light show every year until they raised the price to $25

15. You’ve gotten apple cider from Styer’s market


16. You took your driver's test at either Neshaminy or Hunnington Valley

17. RIP Goodnoe’s </3

18. You’ve driven past Sesame Place a million times but have only been there once

19. You’ve been to an NAC birthday party at least once

20. And probably even a Giggleberry Fair one

21. You’ve gone laser tagging at UltraZone

22. Feeny's has supplied a plethora of your Christmas decorations

23. You’ve gotten up at 7 a.m. to go to Rice’s flea market

24. You travel up to Peddler’s Village during Christmastime every year

25. You’ve listened to Chris and the Crew on PST

26. You've gone tubing down the Delaware

27. You’ve seen a play at the Bucks County Playhouse

28. Sleepy Hollow hay rides were always scarier than Shadybrook ones

29. You've dodged horse poop at Core Creek Park and Tyler Park

30. You love the Farmer’s Market

31. Ow Ow Cow is one of your go-to ice cream spots

32. You grew up petting the animals at the Middletown Grange Fair

33. Casually bragging about how P!nk grew up in Doylestown

34. Or how "the dollhouse" in Pretty Little Liars is located in Tyler Park

35. You leave Fred’s in New Hope a few pounds heavier than when you entered

36. Thinking there's no waffle quite like a Nina's waffle

37. You most likely took a summer class at Bucks Community College

38. Throughout your teenage years, you constantly complained about how boring it was to live in Bucks County

39. It’s not until after you left that you realized how fortunate you were to have grown up here…

40. …And how much you miss and love this place you will always call home

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.

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.
