Best Foods at the Big E!

The Big E stands for the Eastern States Exposition which is known as the New England's Great State Fair. The Big E is in the town of West Springfield in Massachusetts which is a neighboring town of where I live. Therefore, I grew up going to the Big E every year many times because it only runs once a year for three weeks, at the end of September to October. It is everyone's favor time of the year, except for the traffic that it brings.

Best Foods at the Big E!

1. Billy's Baked Potatoes

THE BEST. This has to be one of my favorite foods at the Big E. Every year the first time I go, I go straight to the Billy's Baked Potato stand. I highly recommend.


2. Fried Oreos

A CLASSIC. Fried oreos are at almost all fairs and just a classic fair food. This is something else I always get at least once.


3. Mini Donuts

YUM. Mini donuts that are cooked right in front of you. This is something that I always get on my way out of the Big E at night, can't go wrong with either powder sugar or cinnamon.


4. Philly Steak and Cheese

YES. This is my dad's favorite food at the Big E. Anytime I go and he cannot, I get one and take it home for him.


5. Craz-E burger

UM WHAT. I ca not say this is something I have ever indulged in but it has such good reviews. It might sound gross and very out there, but it a big hit for others.


6. Deep fried cannoli

LOVE. Cannoli's are such a sweet treat but imagine them deep fried? Yes... it is very unhealthy but sometimes you have to treat yourself. Just think, this is only once a year.


7. 1 Pound Meatball

WOW. Holy meat, yes this is a meatball. Yes, it weighs a pound. A local company provides this and is a huge, delicious hit at the Big E.


8. Turkey Leg

VERY WEIRD. People walk around chomping on it and carrying it around. This is only seen at the Big E.


9. Fried Dough

CLASSIC. Fried dough is also at every fair or carnival. Everyone should take advantage of this fried dough, again with powdered sugar or cinnamon.


10. Giant Mozzarella Stick

CHEESY. Yes, everyone loves mozzarella sticks but has anyone seen one this big? I bet not, unless you have attended the Big E.


Along with the food, there are carnival rides, carnival games, New England state buildings, animals, shops, parades, concerts, and plenty of events. The Big E is somewhere that everyone should try to visit because the experience is unlike any other. It is a very popular fair that I will always continue to go. Always explore the foods you like... travel here... and most importantly, be you!!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
