An Open Love Letter To Tino's Pizzeria

After every night out, everyone wants food. Luckily for SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick students, including visiting friends like myself, Main Street in Oneonta offers an array of foods to choose from. Whether it be Latte Lounge for a midnight bagel, Subway for a sandwich or Oneonta Hots for the best hot plates and tater tots in town. But when it comes to drunk foods, the mother of all drunk foods, the best choice is good ol' pizza. And the best pizza in Oneonta comes from the one and only Tino's Pizzeria.

Oh Tino's. I remember the first time I had a slice of your famous cold cheese pizza. Who in their right mind would take a perfectly good piece of pizza and add cold cheese in a pile on top of it? I stopped questioning it because my world was officially changed from that moment forward.


Your lit up green and red sign always brightens up Main Street like the light at the end of our drunken night's tunnel as my friends and I would stumble our way to get inside. You've given me the rarest form of entertainment as I've waited endless nights in line. Who thought a pizzeria in the middle of nowhere New York could be so fun at 1 a.m.?

I've witnessed one too many guys drunkenly brawl, flipping over chairs and tables, all while trying to dodge them in the process. I almost got in a few myself as a drunken bi*** tried to cut in front of me. I've witnessed many eye rolls and head shakes as the drunk douche from that frat party early in the night rolls in and makes his way to the front, cutting everyone else behind him.

I've made endless amounts of drunken friendships with people as we wait thirty minutes just for a slice of pizza. Whether it was the girl crying over watching her ex make-out with another girl at a frat party, complimenting someone on their outfit, or comparing crazy stories from the night, you're never alone on the Tino's line.

Let's not get started on the variety of slices you offer, either. As a New Yorker myself, I always tell people the best pizza I've had comes from a small town upstate. Whoever thought of putting buffalo chicken, General Tso's chicken and ranch together on a slice of pizza is absolutely crazy but also a total genius.

Don't worry, I'll always stick up for you when people say that Sal's is better.

So Tino's, thank you for providing me with the best pizza around, and most important of all, thank you for being there every drunk night, you've comforted me more than any Oney guy could.

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.

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.

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.
