Only Syracusians get it

7 Things People Not From Syracuse Don't Understand

Syracuse New York is not your typical city. 'Cuse is filled with so many defining aspects that truly make Syracuse, Syracuse. But outsiders just don't understand the 'Cuse charm. Here are the things that Non-Syracusians just don't understand.

1. Central New York

Every New Yorker is annoyed when people automatically assume you're from the city when you say you're from New York. But it's even more annoying when you're generalized as an Upstater. Syracuse is literally smack dab in the middle of the state, we're CNYers. And we're filled with CNY pride.

2. Syracuse Basketball

It's a sin not to bleed orange and praise the god Jim Boeheim. The 'Cuse Nation literally drops everything during March Madness to cheer on our favorite team.

3. Tully's

Although it is located all over the state, no one is more obsessed with Tully's than Syracusians. They really are the "Best Chicken Tenders on Earth!"

4. Snow

Syracuse is one of the snowiest cities in the United States, averaging about 116.9 inches every winter. So Non-Syracusians can stop complaining about snow.

5. Tipp Hill

Whether you're looking for a great meal at the Blarney Stone, or a fun night out at Rosie's, Tipp Hill has it all; and a one of a kind stop light.

5. Wegmans

We're happier than Honey Boo Boo on her "Go Go" juice when we're at Wegmans. It's more of a social outing than grocery shopping. And we all praise Danny Wegman.

6. New York State Fair

The New York State Fair is our summer backyard, and we love it.

7. Love-Hate Relationship

Us Syracusians often complain about the weather and other not so great things about our city; but at the end of the day, we love our city.

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.
