Hey, can I see your ID, please? This is a 21 and up article.

Are you craving something different-- something local perhaps? Have you ever had a sip of REDD's apple ale, or some Angry Orchard, and thought "wow this could be a lot better."? If you've never had these questions, then good for you, however, if you're like many people then you have, and luckily for you, there is a solid answer. Black Apple Crossing.

Their all-natural, in-season ciders are just that, always fresh and never mixed with artificial ingredients. At any point in time, you can go to their sole location on Emma Ave in Springdale and grab a flight of 8 different cider flavors ranging from dryest to sweetest.

In your quest to try them all your taste-buds will be enamored with flavors ranging from simple apple cider, Hibiscus, and berries, Hops with Orange, Raw Agave Nectar Cider, and even a blackberry-apple cider. They truly have a spectrum of flavors to adapt to any and all's flavor preferences and pallets.

Additionally, Black Apple Crossing has something going on every night of the week! Monday's are trivia night, this can range from It's always sunny in Philadelphia, Seinfeld, and general trivia! Tuesday's are when you can taco-bout all of your ciders you've had with your friends for Taco Tuesday. Wednesday is board game night, where you can break out the games and sip some of your favorite flavors. On Fridays, you can expect a pleasant evening of music and cider with your best friends, and Saturdays are for laughs with stand-up for Ciderday night live.

They're open every day of the week, so there's always a time that will work with your schedule to grab a nice glass of cider with some friends, and enjoy the heritage this area was beholden to pre-prohibition.

Some fun facts about Cider:

Our founding fathers and colonists were actually HUGE fans of cider, due to the difficulty of cultivating hops in America, apples were far more feasible for cultivation and thus sealed their fate as the go-to agricultural product to produce drinks for the people.

One of the oldest living founding fathers, and presidents, Sam Adams, would drink a tankard of cider every morning, he thought it was good for his health. Maybe there's some weight to all those people drinking apple cider vinegar after all!

In 1789, George Washington won the electoral college unanimously, after losing his first vote, Washington purchased 144 gallons of hard cider the night before the Vote, and won without opposition. I believe he had only hard cider to thank for his presidential victory.

Whether you're just getting off work, or are coming home late from a long day, Black Apple Crossing will have exactly what you need to reconnect your nostalgia, taste-buds, and spirit.

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.
