6 Things You Miss About Connecticut

In This Article:

There is no place like home . . . here are 6 things all people from Connecticut miss.

1. New Haven Pizza.

You will never find thin crust pizza as good as Pepe's.

2. Stew Leonard's

You have to experience Stew's for yourself to know how special it is to CT natives. No where else can you get that many free samples and have a cow sing to you when you're trying to pick your groceries. Oh... and the ice cream is amazing.

3. Sports Rivalries

The New York/Boston rivalry is one of the most cherished rivalries in sports history. It's SO boring when your new city only cheers for ONE team!

4. Private Schools aren't this big everywhere

What do you mean you didn't wear a uniform to school everyday? You never survived a winter in a short plaid skirt and knee socks?It builds character.

5. You will never live in such a central area again

if you really tried to, you could probably visit The Hamptons, New York City, Boston and Rhode Island all in one day. The accessibility to these popular cities is something a lot of Connecticut residents take for granted but would never want to sacrifice.

6. Fall will never be the same

Sadly, nothing compares to Connecticut's autumn. Apple picking is a right of passage before the holiday season. The leaves just aren't as pretty anywhere else.

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.

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.
