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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
