Must-Eats In New Jersey Before Back To School

Forget breakfast, the last meal is the most important one.

Must-Eats In New Jersey Before Back To School
Pleated Jeans

Without my mom to cook for me at school, I survive on Kraft Mac & Cheese, sandwiches, and cereal. So I always make sure to get in all my favorite meals before I leave for the school year, cooked both by my mom and by some of my favorite spots in New Jersey.

Bagels 4 U

Growing up in New Jersey has made me a little bit of a bagel snob. When I leave for school, I know that I won't have a good bagel for the next few months and make sure to grab at least one fresh bagel before I leave. My go-to order is Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel.

Florham Park Pizza

Just like bagels, there's no better pizza than one made in New Jersey. So obviously before going back to school I have to order a pie. And eat as many slices as I possibly can before exploding. Which pizzeria is the best is highly debated topic, however my personal favorite is Florham Park Pizza. If you're like me and like your food to be a little spicy, my suggestion is the buffalo chicken pizza.

Cuban Pete's

Thatcher McGhee's

If you've ever traveled to Ireland, and miss it a lot, like I do, Thatcher McGhee's gives you a taste of Ireland while still being in the states. The relaxed vibe and dark lighting resembles an actual Irish pub. The Guinness BBQ Wings are a great shareable dish, but for a main course try either Guinness Cheddar Burger or the Shepherd's Pie.

New Jersey food as definitely spoiled me and I always miss it while I'm away. Then again, I do the same thing when I go home from school too. So maybe I just have a serious obsession with food.

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.
