11 Things You Miss When You Leave Southeastern PA

Southeastern PA is soooo much different than any other part of PA. It is only once you leave, you realize how great everything about "home" is. Here are the 11 things you will definitely miss when you leave your home in southeastern PA:

Wawa

Everyone has their favorite go-to Wawa, it's like your second home.

Quick rides to Philly

Only an hour (on a good day) on Route One or I-95 to get to the city!

Route One

The Autobahn of Eastern PA. Speed limit is 55? We'll see.

Kennett Square

Sure, it may smell like literal sh*t all the time, but that's part of its charm!

Wawa

The sweet cream cheese pretzels, the hoagies, the macaroni and cheese...

Amish

There are Amish in other parts of PA, but nowhere near the amount in Lancaster County. I actually miss having to pass 15 buggies on the way to school in the morning.

Philly Sports

Giphy

Central PA is filled with Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates fans. I miss being surrounded by Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers fans! #NoOneLikesUs

You're a short drive away from multiple states

Giphy

Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia. All within a couple hour drive!

A two-hour drive to the beach

From my neck of the woods, it is two-hours to Rehoboth Beach! It takes me four hours now to get to the coast.

The food

Giphy

Cheesesteaks, hoagies, Chickie's and Pete's Crab Fries, Herr's Potato Chips. Need I say more?

Wawa

Ok, I know I've listed Wawa multiple times, but it totally deserves it. Wawa is superior to all other gas stations. End. Of. Discussion.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
