If you don't live within a 5 mile radius you probably have never heard of our beautiful small town. For those of us who live in this small town, we all pretty much know each other and we know about the things that make this town special. If you grew up here, you definitely need to check this out, because it's a walk down memory lane.

PS: I'm sorry to my friends for these pictures that are resurfacing, I know these were uncomfortable times for us.

1. You've taken "artsy" pictures here at this "secret" spot.


2. The day you were finally old enough to walk to the center was the best day of your life.



3. You attended S.C.R.A.M during the summer.


4. You were probably a girl scout or boy scout.


5. Which means you probably went to a father-daughter dance held at the most prestigious facility: The Noecker Gym.


6. The Halloween Parade meant you needed to make the best Halloween costume imaginable.



7. You probably played Rec sports, so you've taken one of these pictures before.


8. The softball/baseball opening day ceremonies were intense because you wanted your team's banner to win.



9. You thought about who you were going to be at the Wax Museum for years prior.



10. You've walked the path behind Noecker and have been absolutely terrified.


11. You were scared to graduate from Noecker where there was about 60-80 kids in your class and move onto West Essex.



12. You have to mention towns close by when explaining where Roseland is, because most people haven't heard of it.



13. You've been to a "dad's softball game" and played at the Harrison field before.



14. Trick-or-treating on Monroe Ave meant you got a huge amount of candy every year.



15. You've spent summer days pool hopping and summer nights playing manhunt.


16. You call this game by its proper name "Four Square".

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
