Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known as the City of Champyinz AND the City of Bridges, is a must see city on your journey to wherever you're going. Whether you were born and raised here, or have family here, you know that this city is one of the best in the country. Now it's just time you admit it!

1. Sports.

Not only are the Steelers 6x Super Bowl Champs (HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!), but the Penguins (LET'S GO PENS!) and Pirates (LET'S GO BUCCOS!) each have five championships under their belt. Whether or not you like sports, attending any of these events is always a great time.

2. Entertainment.

Obviously when you visit somewhere you want something fun to do. Lucky for you, Pittsburgh has a great amusement park; Kennywood! In fact, the park is still one of "America's Finest Traditional Amusement Parks."

3. Food.

Okay, now who doesn't like food?? Exactly, no one. Well thank goodness, Pittsburgh has a lot of it. Mainly known for it's signature Primanti's Sandwiches (coleslaw and french fries on a HUGE sandwich, WHO DOESN'T WANT ONE?) and our delicious pierogis.

4. History.

Everyone loves a good history lesson too, and Pitt is full of it. Home of Heinz Condiments (stop at the history museum for more Heinz), Klondike, and the first Big Mac, Pittsburgh will fulfill your taste buds and knowledge at the same time.

5. Looks.

What's cooking, good looking? As shown in the famous scene from "Perks of Being a Wallflower," the skyline of Pittsburgh is breath-taking. Also shown in "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Fences" viewers get to see different shots of the beautiful city. Now why wouldn't you want to see it in person?


6. Incline.

What goes up, must come down. As you ride the incline up to Mount Washington, tourists and locals can enjoy the view of the city from the observation deck. At the bottom, they enjoy our most famous part of town, Station Square.

7. Water.

Located at the most east point of town is where three rivers meet, the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio. Here we have seen concerts, pep-rallies, festivals and the famous Duck. Capturing the view of PNC Park and 4/446 bridges the city has, you must stop here and take photos.

8. Museums.

We love Andrew Carnegie here in Pittsburgh, and show it through the countless museums. The Carnegie Museum of Art, Natural History and Pittsburgh are not the only ones. But if you want to fill your knowledge on science, stop in at the Carnegie Science Center. The city also has the Andy Warhol museum, Randyland and Mattress Factory.

9. Steel.

"We built this city on rock and roll," actually false. We built this city on steel; known for it's major steel companies, industries and mills, Pittsburgh was producing half the nation's steel in the early 1900s.


By the end of your visit, you will be bleeding Back & Gold.

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.
