As the middle of my second semester of college is here, I’m missing a lot from my hometown—but mostly the food! I’m counting down the days until spring break, and it has me very excited to get back to all of these places and dine in for some good eats.


1. The Croton Colonial Diner

In high school, almost every weekend from midnight to 2 A.M. we would bring a rush of people into the diner. Howie would always greet us with kind words and would get the kitchen moving. Your order probably consisted of their bomb grilled cheese, french fries, and always a must— their milkshakes. It is a place that many of us just hang out for an hour and after everyone is finished with their food, their is no rush to leave.


2. Capriccio’s

Now, we don’t miss Capriccio’s II, we only miss Capriccio’s. Their slices of pizza could go against anyones. The fact that I’m attending a school in Upstate New York makes me realize how much I miss having their slices on the daily. We all end up there at some point during the week grabbing a quick slice. It is definitely a go to food stop for us Croton kids.


3. The Croton Mini Deli

Their menu is open ended, so anything you want, they will make. The biggest thing I miss from here is the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches. Breakfast started with a BEC from Mini. I could never order just one. They make them perfectly. When you open the wrapping and the sandwich the yolk of the egg drips down the middle of the roll and you know this is going to be one of the greatest experiences of your life. Don is the nicest guy in the world, he knows your name, and is the first to greet you when you order. Come lunch, their 'California' is something to have. You could argue that they don't melt their cheese all the way (@ David Mandelbaum haha).


4. Bagels-on-Hudson

Some of the best bagels in Westchester county, I think. An overload of cream cheese on the freshest bagel in the world. They also have amazing bacon, egg, and cheeses on a bagel, so it’s a must stop.


5. The Tavern

This place is always packed. More than likely you have to eat dinner at about 4:30 to get a seat or else you're probably eating at nine. They have the best wings around for sure. Some specials' nights they will have their 35 cent wings— yes it’s chaos. I highly recommend the New England clam chowder, their thin crust pizza, the lobster roll… and everyone’s favorite, the 'Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese' — to die for.


6. The Black Cow

Even if you don’t drink coffee you're in there to hang with friends and chill out for a few hours. All of us college students usually meet up here to catch up. Their coffee is a little bit on the pricey side, but every penny is worth it because this coffee is some of the best stuff out there. The owner Mike Grant gives a great local feel and home environment to the place that almost all of Croton is in there at some point during the day.


7. The Blue Pig

I am a former employee to this local ice cream shop, so I’ll be the first one to tell you that their ice cream is legit. A variety of flavors that alternate as the seasons change. Owner Lisa Moir takes great care of this place; I honestly can call it a home. Flavors from Aztec Hot Chocolate to Brown Sugar Cinnamon are all favorites. You also can’t forget about their Blue Pig M&M, a classic choice. It's not just ice cream, how about their soups!! The Blue Pig is open year round and with homemade Chicken Noodle soup, Pumpkin, and Butternut Squash, it's always a hit come the holidays. They were also 2014 Best of Westchester for their ice cream. A lot of high praises for this place— I just can’t wait to get a cone.

Well now I'm hungry.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
