1. Running in the various parks (being able to do Irwin and Waveny in the same run is why I love distance runs)

2. Zumbachs Coffee > Anything you can make with a Keurig

3. It’s like driving in a Robert Frost poem

4. Sandwiches from Tony’s Deli beat any dining hall food in America (Will always recommend their Turkey Club on Gluten Free toast)

5. I refuse to get my hair cut anywhere but Colonial Barbershop

6. The Salmon Bowl at Gates tho

7. Shopping anywhere but Walter Stewart’s Market feels wrong

8. Jeliff Mill may be the prettiest road in all of New England ( an opinion I formed after driving it twice a day all of senior and junior year)

9. Chicken Joes New Canaan Chicken, can’t be matched

10. Being around someone who understands the great Joe’s v Viccolo’s Debate

11. I’ve been craving tacos from Chef Luis since I left

12. DOGS. EVERYWHERE.

13. Visiting old teachers at NCHS= Priceless

14. Where else can you see a Jeep on every street?

15. Somehow Elm Street Books is still cheaper than my College Bookstore

16. College Gyms will never be as nice as the Y (even though it feels like it’s being renovated constantly)

17. If you’re bored you can see an architectural marvel, the Glass House

18. Seeing old friends is always wonderful, particularly when you can do it at NC Diner ( whether you are there at 2 pm or 2 am)

19. If you’re bored for some reason, go to Tallmadge Hill and hop on a train to NY (that is if you can find parking)

20. As someone who has worked in Kiwanis, I can assure you there is no sea monster in it

21. Movies are somehow better when you see them at the playhouse

22. No college campus has paddle tennis courts, but Waveny does

23. Once a Ram, always a Ram

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
