1. The cone will forever be the best ice cream you've ever had.

Why go to places like Dairy Queen during the summer when you can have the best soft serve there is at The Cone?

2. It's not strange for you to see fields, then restaurants, then more fields.

No matter where you turn in West Chester while going on a drive, you'll probably see nothing but houses, fields and farms and restaurants. West Chester is the perfect little mix of it all.

3. The Beckett Ridge Kroger is home to everyone you've ever known.


True life: It's impossible to go to the Beckett Ridge Kroger – even if it's at 1 a.m. –without seeing someone you know.

4. You were either around when Lakota was all one school or when they split.


And you're either a "Beat East" or "Beat West" kind of a person. There is no in between.

5. You've been to "The Hill," one of the coolest parts of West Chester.


The hill that overlooks West Chester at the Beckett Ridge Golf course has probably been your hang out spot at one point, and it is definitely a pretty site to see.

6. If you grew up here in the past 16 years, Skatetown USA was your elementary/middle school hangout.



Carpooling to skating parties was the best part of your middle school social life.

7. You casually furniture shop at IKEA.


All of West Chester freaked out when the Swedish home furnishing store, IKEA, first opened in 2008, and now when we need some new furniture or home decor, we just make a short drive to IKEA.

8. Driving through Olde West Chester makes you feel like you're in a TV show.


Olde West Chester makes you feel like your driving through the cute, small towns they have in TV shows, and it's a cute little feature to West Chester.

9. You'll always call AMC "The Rave."


No question.

10. You can find anything and everything you need in Union Centre.


Fast food, gyms, library, a movie theatre, Starbucks – Union Centre has it all.

11. You've loved and hated West Chester all at the same time.


You aren't truly from West Chester if you haven't complained about it at least once. No matter how boring it feels at times, West Chester is one of my favorite places in the world, and I wouldn't have wanted to grow up anywhere else.

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?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
