Located in the heart of Central Pennsylvania, Lewisburg is not only home to Bucknell University but to all different kinds of people, places and memories. Growing up and living in Lewisburg is an experience unlike any other.

Here are some things you’ll definitely know to be true if you've lived in Lewisburg:

1. There are no secrets.

Everyone knows everything about everyone. That's just the way it is.

2. Sheetz and Applebee’s are the places to be on the weekends.

Whether it's after a Friday night football game, you're hanging with friends, or you have nothing to do (which is pretty common in this town), you'll definitely find people at Sheetz late at night or at half priced apps at Applebee's.

3. The best times are when the Bucknell students aren't there.

No, Becky, I don't care that your Daddy just bought you that BMW you almost hit me with while you were going 55 mph downtown.

4. The high school is one of the best in the country.

The principal, teachers, and aides are all such great people that are sure to have such an impact on you.

5. Street of Shops has the best breakfast food.

Cinnamon bun pancakes. That is all.

6. Boys soccer is phenomenal.

Did you know they won states? Twice!

7. It's 3-4 hours from anywhere significant.

Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York City.. they're all about the same distance away, just in different directions.

8. Everyone loves Penn State.

It's the closest university with a good football program so everyone's a fan.

9. The festivals downtown are some of the best times of the year.

The Arts Festival, the Ice Festival, and the Wooly Worm Festival are a few of my personal favorites.

10. Either people have been here their whole lives, or they’re only here for a little while.

There are some people who have lived here for generations upon generations. There are other people that moved here because their parents came to work at Bucknell, the hospital, or the penitentiary, and they're only here for a few years at most.

11. Ards is the only place to get your pumpkins and Christmas trees.

Going to the pumpkin patch and sipping hot chocolate while picking out your Christmas tree is the best.

12. It’s home to many historic places.

...The Slifer House, the Campus Theatre, and the Dale Engle Walker House just to name a few.

13. The Freez is the best place to get ice cream.

...You have to get hot fudge in the hole. Don't even fight me on this one.

14. You can’t go anywhere without seeing someone you know.

...Try going to Walmart without seeing your English teacher.

15. There are three Starbucks locations, but everyone prefers Dunkin.

...This may be because of all of the Bucknell people, but I really don't think I know of anyone who actually prefers Starbucks in this town.

16. When people ask where you’re from, there are only a few responses.

..."Have you ever heard of Bucknell? The Little League World Series? Harrisburg?"

17. Everyone has a favorite pizza place, but no one agrees on which is the best.

...La Casa, Pizza Phi, Vennari's

18. There are cows. Everywhere.

....nuff said.

19. And Amish People, too.

More the merrier!

20. You’ll miss it when you’re gone

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
