11 Truths Every Vermonter Knows About Free Cone Day
Huffington Post

Everyone and their mother show up for free cone day. I mean, who wouldn't want free Ben & Jerry's? We are all used to waiting in line for at least a half an hour, and it's all worth it in the end. Get bored? They have employees coming around with ice cream facts!


2. You will get multiple ice creams during the day

What's so wonderful about this is that you can get in line as many times as you want...or as much ice cream your stomach can handle

3. You have been going ever since you were little

It doesn't matter how old you are, everyone loves Ben & Jerry's. I remember going for dessert with my family because it's an all day event!



4. You see multiple people you know in line

You're from Vermont, of course, you will see people you know!


5. You always get the same flavor

Once you fall in love with a flavor, you always say you will try another, but in the end, you always stick with what you love! For me, that's Cherry Garcia!


6. You don't need to look at the menu being passed around

There's always a menu being passed down the line to tell you what flavors they are serving that day. It usually stays the same every year, unless they have a new flavor they want people to try. Again, once you have fallen in love with a flavor, chances are, you are going to get it every time.


7. You are upset when there is no Ben & Jerry's near you

No one else understands the struggle of not being able to go to Free Cone Day. Like it should be a National Holiday

8. You have it marked on your calendar months in advance

APRIL 4TH BABY!!!


9. Calories don't count today

*Scoff* What are calories, there's no such thing!

10. You've skipped work/class to get ice cream

It was the best feeling in the world junior/senior year in high school when my friends and I were finally allowed to leave campus during school hours. It came in handy for Free Cone Day because we definitely skipped classes that year to go get ice cream


11. You pile an illegal amount of people in your car to go

I couldn't tell you exactly how many people, but it definitely looked like a clown car when we all got out.

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.
