You get to come back to your favorite milkshakes

Everyone in Lancaster has a different favorite place for milkshakes depending on where exactly you live, but regardless of where that is, we all know that you can find the best milkshakes in Lancaster. (It's Maplehofe milkshakes in Quarryville for me).


Shady Maple breakfast

Even if you don't live super close to Shady Maple, like me, it's still much closer than when you were at school and you can now start your tradition of going there for breakfast back up with your friends.


Park City Mall

Okay so it might not be the best mall in the world, but Park City is probably the closest to you while you're home, and it's gotten much better throughout the years. It sure beats the mall that I have near me at school!


The best PA Dutch food is so close by now

Whoopie pies, shoo-fly pie and scrapple may have been some food that you missed while away at school. Now that you're back home, you have so many places to go to get these things within a 25-mile radius!


The outlets

Tanger and Rockvale Outlets are close again. Your wallet might not be happy about it, but you sure are!


You get to be back around the Amish and the farms

Okay so this isn't exactly that much fun, but a small part of you probably missed it!


Lancaster City is so much closer again


You missed the rural life

If you're away at school in anywhere other than Lancaster, you now realize that Lancaster is way more of a rural environment than you thought. And you've surprisingly missed it.


You're back with your family and friends

Nothing's better than being back with the people that you grew up with.

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.
