Even Though I'm Moving Away From Home Doesn't Mean I'll Forget Where I Came From

I recently had a conversation with my mom on the phone and she asked me why don't I just move back home when I graduate if I don't have a job by then. Well, I have multiple responsibilities here, to say the least. Home is pretty far from where I live now since I'm currently living in Pennsylvania and home is Long Island, New York. Since I'll be graduating pretty soon that means starting the job search and going on interviews not to mention my boyfriend and I just adopted a cat and my boyfriend lives here.

Moving here for school almost 4 years ago was extremely terrifying but I'm glad I did it because then I wouldn't have all the wonderful things that I have now. There are definitely some big differences between PA and NY, but I will never forget where I came from. Most of my family live on Long Island and a part of my heart will always remain there.

I know when the time comes to actually make the big move, it will be tough. I will be leaving my family who still reside there and some friends along with my pets. I know I will make it a habit of visiting them whenever I am able to and I am lucky enough to have an easy means of getting there by train. I will never forget my family and I know they have their concerns about me leaving and not visiting enough but they shouldn't be concerned because family is the most important thing for me.

Being a graduating senior the world is most certainly my oyster. Pretty soon I will have a job, an apartment and I'll be making a name for myself out in the real world. I will be sad to leave home for good, but I know that I will be back there soon and that I have a loving support team behind me to take on whatever comes next for me.

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.

As any other person on this planet, it sometimes can be hard to find the good in things. However, as I have always tried my hardest to find happiness in any and every moment and just generally always try to find the best in every situation, I have realized that your own happiness is much more important than people often think. Finding the good in any situation can help you to find happiness in some of the simplest and unexpected places.

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!"
