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!

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

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.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
