12 Unmistakeable Signs You Grew Up In The Lehigh Valley
Jennifer Sheehan

Growing up we always said we couldn't wait to get out of the valley. But after leaving for college you've probably come to realize just how great the valley really is! You spent your weekends at the Lehigh Valley Mall, the Carmike at the Promenades, the roller rinks, and especially Dorney Park!

Here are 12 signs you grew up in the Lehigh Valley:

1. 50% of your diet consists of Cali Burrito.

You have your order memorized and can eat it in record time. You were also devastated during their fire.

2. You had a Dorney Park season pass during middle school.


What cool person didn't?

3. You go to every night of Musikfest.


It's great but the traffic is horrendous.

4. You hate Parkland.


Even Parkland hates Parkland.

5. You've probably jumped off Peace Rock at least once.


It's iconic for the massive, graffiti-covered cliff.

6. You've also most likely taken a picture in front of Glen Onoko's waterfalls.


It's one of the prettiest hiking trails.

7. Half Apps was the Friday night hot spot.


You couldn't go into an Applebee's without knowing more than half the people there.

8. During the winter you practically live at Bear Creek.


You can see the lights for miles.

9. The Freddy Awards are kind of a big deal.


It's the Tony's for High School. Congratulations to Emmaus on 18 nominations for Miss Siagon!

10. Shankweiler's Drive-In is a popular summertime date.


It's the oldest drive-in movie theater in America.

11. You strongly believe that Wawa is 100% better than Sheetz.


I mean there really isn't an argument, Wawa is better.

12. You always say you hate the valley and can't wait to get out but you secretly love it.


Because the valley really does have everything.

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.

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.
