4 Things I'm Looking Forward To When I Get Home

I've been in Los Angeles and haven't gone back to the East Coast since August 18th. That's a long time away from home, longer than I'm used to. Every semester I usually go home at least once just to see my parents and say hello to my cat, but this semester I've stayed in Los Angeles and haven't gone home to New Jersey.

Here are 4 things I'm looking forward to when I get back to The Dirty Jerz.

1. Familiar Roadways

I've been relying on GPS to get me basically everywhere out in California. There's nothing more satisfying than knowing where you're going, especially when you know how to get down the shore without any help. I'm ready to know the roads I drive on and I'm ready to drive the shortcuts that only locals know.

2. Knowing Where the Closest ____ Is

As is always the case in a new place, I don't know where the closest Starbucks is which is a problem. In fact, when I need to go anywhere, I need to look up where the closest one is. I'll love knowing where the nearest grocery store and mall is when I go home. I can't wait to get back to the familiar.

3. Driving my Car

I've been driving an electric Fiat500e for the past few months and while that car is great, I will not miss making trips to various mall parking lots to charge it. I'm ready to pay $2.80 per gallon for gas and drive it all around without fear of the electric engine breaking down. I'm also ready to pack my car full of my friends and take trips around Jersey since my electric Fiat can only carry one other person comfortably.

4. Being with my family

After all of those smaller things, I'm so ready to be with my favorite people on the planet.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
