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

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.

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.
