10 Things Everyone Who Grew Up in Palm Beach County Knows

1. When you tell people where you're from they either completely know where it is or you have to give the reference "I'm about an hour and a half from Miami or an hour away from Fort. Lauderdale"

2. Publix is the best grocery store in the nation and you genuinely feel sorry for people without this fantabulous grocery store in their life, we also feel weird going into a new Publix and don't know how to maneuver this new foreign land. nothing feels more like home than "our" Publix.

3. You grow up with a pretty diverse community even though the majority is white. In high school, you'd walk the halls and see all kinds of faces. sitting outside at lunch was the best way to relax too. shoutout to the Alma Mater. Wellington High.




4. You have a view of palm trees from your house and when the wind comes at the perfect speed then its nap time.

5 Broward and Dade county are completely different than Palm Beach. they say it's too calm and quiet in PBC but I'd rather that than noise and overpopulation. Can I get an amen?

6. Old people, Snowbird season makes you want to throw yourself onto I-95 with all the extremely slow elderly living here during the winter.

7. The Mall and the Beach are pretty much the go-to hangout spots, in middle school if you grew up in Wellington. The Mall at Wellington Green is where it's at.

8. Everyone (or almost everyone) you know is from another state. there are very little native Floridians and you enjoy hearing stories of how life is there compared to life in Florida.

9. You go to other parts of Florida to vacation because our state is just that big, Orlando is so much more exciting and fun than Palm Beach. C'mon.

10.. Palm Beach is boring and you'll want out but once you live somewhere else for a while. You miss everything about it and you're proud to call this crazy place home.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
