Staten Island and all of its people have molded me into the person I am today and I will be forever grateful. The people in this borough have unique personalities unlike any other place in the world. Rarely will you see a Nissan Maxima with chrome rims and tinted windows driving around Mulberry Street in Manhattan but you will certainly see at least five if you drive around Staten Island. Therefore, if you are from Staten Island, then you own at least five of the following accessories:

Men's Accessories:

"I am cool because I wear Jordans."

"I haven't been to Church since Confirmation."

"I want to block out all of the imaginary haters."

"I take steroids and have a gym membership to Retro."

"I want to impress the girls with my overpriced Gucci belt."

"I listen to Jay-Z."

"I work for the Union."

"I still go to house parties."

"I am a fuckboy"

"I listen to Drake and Future."

"I buy a new pair every couple of months"

"I wear this with my Nike Sweatshirt and Air Forces Ones."

"I am a wannabe mobster."

"Uncle Paulie's favorite hat to match his jumpsuit"

"I have had this since seventh grade."

"It was cool when I was 15 but I still think its cool now and I am 25."

Women Accessories:

"I just want to be comfortable"

"I want to stay in and watch a movie"

"Just in case I ever forget my initials."

"I want to be trendy."

"I am 15 and I want to dress like I am 25."

"I want to wear ripped jeans even in the winter."

"I own two pairs of every single one."

"Beautiful"

"Cash me outside howbowdah"

"I want to be trendy Part II"

"I wear this with my matching Michael Kors handbag and jacket"

"I want to stand out from everybody else."

"I wear these to class, to the mall, to the gym, to the movies, and every other place you could go on Staten Island."

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.

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.

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:

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.
