1. If you don't like the Cape, then something is wrong.

Every summer since I was a little kid, my parents would take me and my sister to the cape where we’d bake on Nauset beach, see Province town, golf on pirates cove, and visit friends who lives in Yarmouth and Barnstable. As a New England baby, I, as well as a plethora of other kids, spent time on the cape and islands, and other vacation spots in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

2. Boston is the hub of the universe

The strongest city in all of the United States, as well as my home, Boston is a resilient city in it’s own right, and arguable the best city in the world. It is the education capital of the world and is home to many of the nation's finest colleges, as well as the nation’s first public school district. All New Englanders at some point in their lives had visited the Massachusetts capital for either trying to fly from Logan, a day visit, or even a full out vacation. They leave wanting to come back for more.

3. Everyone runs on and runs to Dunkins

Who needs Starbucks? I love that dirty coffee just like I love that dirty water. There is also one on every street corner, and around every block. Some are definitely better than others, but if you are desperate for coffee before work or some early morning classes, it’s a true lifesaver.

4. The Phantom Gourmet is the best place to find food reviews

Yelp is no match for the awesome power of the Phantom. Whenever you step into a restaurant and it has the official sticker of the Phantom Gourmet’s purple logo, you know for a fact you’re about to experience food paradise!

5. No one messes with us!

If you’ve ever driven down Hyde Park Ave, Tremont street, or American Legion Highway during drive time, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Plus don’t even get me started on I-93. The traffic around here is horrendous, and we all drive like a bunch of massholes. Get from point A to Point B the quickest way possible. Bobbing and weaving through traffic like some kind of lunatic. It’s how my mother, father and sister drives. It’s how all my uncles, aunts, and cousins drive. And unfortunately, it’s how I drive.

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.

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.
