The ABCs Of Uptown Towson

O is for overrated, which describes Uptown in a word.

The ABCs Of Uptown Towson

A: Alcohol

Let’s be honest, this is the only reason you go uptown anyways.

B: Beat The Clock

Do you beat the clock or does the clock beat you? Answer: the clock always wins

C: CVP

You only still go here because it’s the only place that accepts your fake.

D: (Lil') Dickey's

Standing on the wall is a Towson rite of passage.

E: Eating everything in sight

Whether it’s Lotsa, Kerb, McDonalds, Insomnia, or Slice, catch me at every single one of them after a night out.

F: Frat Boys

You can recognize Brad and Chad from Apple Theta Chai by their vineyard vines, Patagonia, and timbs. They can be seen with a juul in hand and will probably have just finished shotgunning a four loko.

G: Greene Turtle

So. Many. Stairs. But so worth it once you actually make the climb up.

H: Hyde

There have definitely been nights where I’ve gone uptown completely sober just to pet Hyde and get a hotdog.

I: Insomnia Cookies

Your uptown experience was forever changed once Insomnia Cookies came to Towson.

J: Juul

*Can’t see Rec Room through all the juul smoke* Will be seen in the hand of every Brad and Chad. Chances are you will see someone hitting a juul or charging one at any given point throughout your night.

K: Kent House

The quietest place uptown. You go here for 20 minutes when Turtle and Rec get to crowded and you need a break from all the people.

L: Lotsa

The Uptown holy grail.

M: Mozzarella Sticks from Kerb

For when the line at Lotsa is just too long.

N: Natty Light

Usually being shotgunned by Brad or Chad, Natty Light is effectively overpriced water in a can.

O: Overrated

Uptown in a word.

P: Pitchers

These are dangerous because you order one for the pics to post on Snapchat but 5 minutes later you are already half way done with it.

Q: Questioning my life choices

*Immediately regrets every life decision you made the next morning*

R: Rec Room

Where you go when Turtle denies your fake.

S: Sorority Girls

The reason you can’t get into Rec until 12 because Delta Everest Pie decided to have a social.

T: Torrent

Had to put this on the list because they’re making a comeback… apparently.

U: Unbuttoned Shirts

The longer you stay uptown the more hairy chests you see.

V: Vineyard Vines

Can be seen on every frat brother. Usually identified by their t-shirt, quarter zip pullover, or hat. They are usually more protective of their vineyard vines then they are of their own well-being.

W: Walking Home

For when the uber prices are just too expensive.

X: Xs on Hands

The easiest way to tell who is underage.

Y: York Road

The road where it happens

Z: ZZZs

The sound made after an eventful night uptown.

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.
