Things to do Once You're Back in Eastchester

We have arrived, and we're back to the same old shenanigans. My fellow EHood (I'm using that term ironically) alum, if you've forgotten how Christmas break goes, here's a little reminder ...

1. Slave to the Grind

my home again from home <3

2. Scarsdale Langes salad bar

3. Bronxville Langes

Bronco wrap, duh

4. Buonamici

I’m drooling at the thought...

5. PIZZA, CRESTWOOD PIZZA!!!

Guido delivery boy included ;)

Also included: this picture of me before I inahaled this perfect slice of heaven.

6. Lord & Taylor shoe sale

7. Dodge eye contact with people from high school while in the Lord & Taylor shoe department

8. Dodge eye contact with people from high school while in the Lord & Taylor makeup department

9. Dodge eye contact with people from high school while in the Lord & Taylor perfume department

I know at least 15 people who are paid by Lord & Taylor to spray Alien on a small slip of paper and unenthusiastically ask if you’d like to try it.

10. Drop everything you’ve picked up and storm out of Lord & Taylor because you’re sick of failing to dodge eye contact and YOU JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE

11. Make your parents wait on you hand and foot, personally delivering coffee from #1 to your couch

12. You know you’ll end up at the Westchester mall at some point

13. Go to some below-average White Plains bar and get drunk enough to tolerate people from your hometown

14. Probably see your Italian teacher in a Starbucks

This one comes from real life experience.

15. If you’re lucky, run into the legendary Ms. Miller in Stop and Shop

Also real life experience.

16. Hug the very few people you like from home, reminisce about football games and the player’s club and jazz co and prom and that one good looking English teacher, then drink yourself into an oblivion and try to block an entire 4 year period from your memory

17. Avoid Mickey Spillane’s as though it were the plague

You may lose this to a persistent friend who is content with dragging you while you kick and scream down White Plains road.

18. Try to ignore all of the “Make America Great Again” lawn signs

19. Try not to deface all of the “Make America Great Again” lawn signs

20. Count down the days until you’re back at your school, only to find that maaaaybe you miss home

...only maybe

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
