Five Foods That Pennsylvania Does Best

PA makes these foods better than anywhere in the south.

Five Foods That Pennsylvania Does Best

Don't get me wrong, the south is known for a lot of great things, like the weather and southern hospitality ... but when it comes to these mouth-watering foods, PA does it best.

1. Pork roll

It's similar to a Canadian bacon that can be put on a breakfast sandwich with an egg. But, to be honest, no one really knows exactly what's in it, or why it's not in the south ... but living life without ever trying pork roll is just not right.  

2. Cream cheese

Whether it's because of the perfectly creamy texture or the 800 flavors to choose from, Philly rightfully owns the title for best cream cheese.  It makes a perfect spread on a toasted bagel in the morning.



3. Pizza

Sorry to break it to you. Even though it might taste good when you're drunk, Dominos does not count as good pizza.

4. Hoagies

Hoagies from Wawa, in particular, are prime. When I hear someone say "What's Wawa?" I cringe. Do not compare it to Sheets or 7/11, because Wawa should have its own category.  With the quick service bar of deli meats and hot sides, it's hard to go wrong with Wawa for any meal. And the fact that it's open 24 hours comes in handy on late nights or early mornings. And P.S. it's called a 'hoagie,' not a 'sub.'



5. Cheesesteaks

And lastly, the obvious Philly Cheesesteak. Pats, Genos, or even just from the joint down the street, it's obvious that no other cheesesteak can beat the Philly Cheesesteak.  It doesn't matter if you have whiz or American, they're both tastier than the sad version the south tries to pass as a 'philly cheesesteak.'


All in all, sorry southerners, you truly haven't lived until you have had a mouthful of these foods from Pennsylvania.

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.
