9 Things Kids From Chicago's North Shore Miss When They Go To School
Marlye Jerva

Going to school far away from home is hard. Especially when you have to leave all your favorite foods, favorite places, and best friend (my dog). There is nowhere like the North Shore and everybody misses these things when they're gone at college for a long time.

1. Portillo's

I'm not sure if I miss their cake shake, cheese fries, Chicago dog, or Italian beef sandwich more.

2. Lou Malnati's

There is no deep dish pizza that can even compare to Lou's. I considered having my mom ship me their frozen pizzas in a temperature controlled box.

3. HVAC

4. Old Orchard

They have Lulu, Nordstrom, Victorias Secret, Akira, Sephora, and Bloomies. What more would you need?

5. Their Dogs

Because everyone misses their doggies.

6. Sarkis Bacon Lorreta and Cheesy Hash

This is always my first stop after I'm gone for a long time. It's addicting and everyone knows it.

7. Their Parents Money

People in the North Shore are spoiled and going to college without your parents to make you dinner every night or give you money is hard.

8. Greater's, Homer's and Oberweis

9. Foodstuffs Salad Bar

10. Close Proximity To Concerts And Music Festivals

Whenever you are feeling low and anxious, just simply GO OUTSIDE and embrace nature! According to a new research study published in Frontiers in Psychology, being connected to nature and physically touching animals and flowers enable children to be happier and altruistic in nature. Not only does nature exert a bountiful force on adults, but it also serves as a therapeutic antidote to children, especially during their developmental years.

If there's one thing I'm absolutely terrible at, it's giving myself grace. I'm easily my own worst critic in almost everything that I do. I'm a raging perfectionist, and I have unrealistic expectations for myself at times. I can remember simple errors I made years ago, and I still hold on to them. The biggest thing I'm trying to work on is giving myself grace. I've realized that when I don't give myself grace, I miss out on being human. Even more so, I've realized that in order to give grace to others, I need to learn how to give grace to myself, too. So often, we let perfection dominate our lives without even realizing it. I've decided to change that in my own life, and I hope you'll consider doing that, too. Grace begins with a simple awareness of who we are and who we're becoming. As you read through these five affirmations and ways to give yourself grace, I hope you'll take them in. Read them. Write them down. Think about them. Most of all, I hope you'll use them to encourage yourself and realize that you are never alone and you always have the power to change your story.

Were all teenagers and twenty-somethings bingeing the latest "To All The Boys: Always and Forever" last night with all of their friends on their basement TV? Nope? Just me? Oh, how I doubt that.

I have been excited for this movie ever since I saw the NYC skyline in the trailer that was released earlier this year. I'm a sucker for any movie or TV show that takes place in the Big Apple.

How Young Feminists Can Understand And Subvert The Internalized Male Gaze

Women's self-commodification, applied through oppression and permission, is an elusive yet sexist characteristic of a laissez-faire society, where women solely exist to be consumed. (P.S. justice for Megan Fox)

Within various theories of social science and visual media, academics present the male gaze as a nebulous idea during their headache-inducing meta-discussions. However, the internalized male gaze is a reality, which is present to most people who identify as women. As we mature, we experience realizations of the perpetual male gaze.

Open-mindedness. It is something we all need a reminder of some days. Whether it's in regards to politics, religion, everyday life, or rarities in life, it is crucial to be open-minded. I want to encourage everyone to look at something with an unbiased and unfazed point of view. I oftentimes struggle with this myself.
