7 Things I Miss About Norwalk CT
Norwalk CT

Even though Massachusetts is only two and a half hours away from my hometown, I still finding myself missing home more than I should. Home is where memories were made and where mom's home cooked meals are made. There are so many things I love and miss about being home, here are a few:

Calf Pasture Beach

It's no Malibu, but here is where late night adventures start, Fourth of July fireworks happen, and where newly Brien McMahon graduates watch the sunrise together for the very last time before starting our new separate journeys.


PRDs

What makes a diner a diner? Is it the sheen of steel and the sizzle of bacon? Or is it a feeling of community and comfort? PRDs is a second home for many. Its where we go after Prom, when the bell rings at 2:15, and when its a hot summers day and all you want is a root beer float.


Brien McMahon vs Norwalk High School


Who doesn't love a good rivalry? *Cough* BMHS is better *Cough*. Once a Senator always a Senator.


Stamford


Being less than 15 minutes away from Stamford is a blessing and a curse. Theres the Stamford mall which is a gift sent from God himself but unfortunately its where all of our paychecks end up being spent as well as the Westport shops.

Bowlmor


Lazor Tag, Bowling, an arcade with Flappy Bird, and a bar with killer food. What else could you possibly need?!


Donut Delight


Better than Dunkins and better than Starbucks (Oh yeah that's right! I said it!). Ever thing from their lemonades to their coffee smoothies. Donut Delight is the perfect pick me up after a stressful day at school which is perfectly placed down the street from my old High School. This is also where I've crashed friends on dates multiple times because I can't get one of my own. #ForeverSingle

"The City"

In Connecticut we refer to NYC as "The City", aka the best city in the world. Being around an hour away from Norwalk, we find ourselves here an awful lot.

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.
