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

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
