A Love Letter To Wawa

Love, the entire northeast region.

A Love Letter To Wawa
Instagram

I have lived in areas that have Wawas around every corner for my entire life. Because of this, it has come as a huge shock to me when people do not share my love for Wawa, or worse still, do not even know what a Wawa is.

“Wawa? What is that?” Only the best place to get basically anything you need at any time. Wawas are mainly a tri-state area or Northeast deal, so most people who are not residing in the Northeast do not even understand our obsession with Wawa. And honestly, what is the obsession? I did not even think I was that obsessed with Wawa until I heard someone saying they just did not understand why we were all so obsessed. Of course, at this point my South Jersey, three-Wawas-in-my-tiny-hometown self was appalled. I mean, what’s not to love about Wawa? Their slogan is literally, “Gottahava Wawa,” and it is most definitely true. But we really are obsessed. Wawa is not even a convenience store at this point, it is way more like a lifestyle. You go to the beach for the day, you get a Wawa hoagie. You’re driving for a while, you stop and get gas at Wawa where you do not have to pump your own gas (only in Jersey, of course). Wawa started out as a convenience store but has become so much more. At this point it is literally a staple of the Northeast. Something we have, and everyone else should want.

Truly, nothing compares to Wawa. I seriously can’t even imagine not living right near a Wawa, or five. For those not in the Northeast, what is it actually like not having any Wawas? What is it like only having 7-Elevens or Sheetz or whatever else your particular area has? The biggest question I have is like what do you do without a Wawa? This is my thank you to Wawas everywhere.

Thank you for always being there for anything, at basically any time. And also thank you for creating Sizzlis. Like how amazing are those? A nice, hot sandwich waiting for you at any time (up until 11 a.m.). A little known fact about the Sizzlis is that they actually will make them any time of day if you just ask. See, not only is this article a reflection of my true love for Wawa, but you are also learning some new facts about the chain itself.

So shoutout to Wawa, obviously, for always having the best of everything. But also shoutout to people like myself and others in the Northeast who are so obsessed with Wawa that we keep the business thriving. Thank you for always having everything we need, and also for being abundant in my area. Truly a blessing to be able to go on Wawa runs whenever I want.

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.
