22 Signs You're From Leominster, Massachusets

There is an abundance of small towns in the state of Massachusetts. And even though every one of them seems to run together, each town is full of it's own unique personality. Here are some of the telltale signs that you're from Leominster, Massachusetts (aka the home of Johnny Appleseed).

1. You can't go ANYWHERE without seeing someone you know.

2. Forget Italy- you know the best chicken picatta in the world can be found at Il Camino.

3. Some of your best childhood memories are spent at the Doyle playground.


From falling off that Jenga-looking structure, to burning your legs on the metal slide, you can still smell the fresh wood chips.

4. You tell everyone you meet that you're from the same hometown as Johnny Appleseed, and get personally offended when someone doesn't know who he is.


5. Football isn't just a sport to you.

6. You can actually pronounce the name correctly.

LEMON-ster, not Leo-min-ster


7. You hate anything Fitchburg... or red.


8. You've spent HOURS in North Leominster traffic.

One little road under a bridge just doesn't cut it for a city of 40,000.


9. You love July because you know Gove's farm corn is finally ready.

10. Mayor Mazarrella is the only mayor you've ever known.

11. You spent your Friday nights in middle school at Roll on America.


12. The struggle between Gourmet, Dippin, and Lovin is real.


13. You still feel pride about which middle school you went to.

14. When you need a long ride, Elm Street is a go to.

15. Sporting facilities aren't just a place to you-they're a second home.



16. You have no idea what the Mall at Whitney Field is, but you do know Searstown!

17. When you're STARVING, there is nothing like a TC Lando's steak and cheese.

18. Your favorite elementary school field trip was to Sholan Farms for apple picking and donuts.

19. Most of your friends are the kids of your parents friends.


20. You still feel depressed about Whalom Park closing.

21. You know what it means to bleed blue.


And no, its not a rare disease. It's a lifestyle.


22. And no matter where you go, there will always be a place for the 01453 in your heart.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
