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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
