It's Just A Stratford Thing!

"Offering more from forest to shore."

It's Just A Stratford Thing!
Josh Kellogg

1. Going to all of the Bunnell-Stratford games and taking the rivalry extremely seriously

2. Paradise Green was the place to hang out when you were in middle school and had no car.

3. No matter where you are, there's probably a Dunkin' Donuts within a 5-mile radius

4. Being forced to go to Shelton, Trumbull, Milford, or Bridgeport because there's never anything to do

5. The only Dairy Queen we have is the one you can't even go inside

6. Lordship might be a part of Stratford, but we all know it's basically another country

7. The heartbreak you felt when the movie theater was replaced with an LA Fitness

8. Going to Gaetano's and experiencing true heaven

9. When The Edge moved to a bigger, more convenient location and it made everyone's lives better


10. Hanging out at the Seawall with your friends when there's nothing else to do

11. Being told countless times that you shouldn't go into the water at Short Beach

12. Seeing everyone and their mom at Duchess Diner on a Friday night

13. Not realizing that the lighthouse in the Snapchat filter is actually a real place

14. Trying to decide whether to go to the Trumbull or Milford Mall

15. Missing it when you're away because even though it's boring, it's home.

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.

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.
