Visit A Waterfall – My Visit To Tinker Falls
Chandler Burke

Yesterday was exhausting but beautiful. My roommate and I had a brand shoot to do so we decided to go to Tinker Falls, unaware that it would likely become our go-to hiking spot. In the morning we ate some breakfast and then got in the car at around 9 a.m. for a thirty-minute drive to Tinker Falls.

With two weekends in-a-row going to some sort of falls, like last weekend we went to Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada, we were excited to see what the waterfall would be like at Tinker Falls. If you are from around Syracuse, New York, or are visiting and looking for a very photogenic hiking spot, head to Truxton, New York, where these falls reside.

When we arrived we immediately headed towards the large waterfall and were mind-blown. The pictures online were pretty, but after seeing it in person we were both amazed. Half of the water was frozen over while half of it was flowing perfectly, which made for amazing shots for the partnership I was doing, but also for beautiful and peaceful scenery to just stand and watch.

I decided to hike up the extremely steep mountain, one that I would only recommend hiking in the summer, to view the falls from even closer. It was beautiful, but if you are afraid of heights, like my roommate, I would not suggest hiking up it. It was also very slippery due to the weather recently, so I quickly found myself making my way down in fear of slipping.

After many pictures and soaked feet from walking across the water to get to the side closer to the waterfall, we decided to hike the trail which led to the edge of the waterfall where you could see it from the top—which was very interesting. The view from the top was gorgeous, and I wanted to stay and watch the falls from there all day.

We luckily went on a beautiful, warm day, which made being in the woods in the spring more bearable. After our hike, we got into the car and both admitted that we would be back very soon. Once again, if you are in the area, definitely make the trip. If not, go to your nearby waterfall—it is extremely peaceful and a slight distraction from the crazy semester it has been.

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.
