27 Signs You Grew Up In Trumbull, CT

1. Your "beach" is on the Long Island Sound, providing the sand and sun, but as for the waves? Not so much.

2. You know Duchess is the best fast food chain around (Big D Cheese, please).

3. You frequented $6 Tuesday at Bow Tie Cinemas every week.

4. You were aggravated by Marquee Cinemas randomly becoming "Bow Tie Cinemas".

5. In middle school your weekend hangout activity was doing laps around the Trumbull Mall or going ice skating at the Rinks.

6. You know all too well what Friday night football games entail...THS BLACK HOLE.

7. You go to Fairfield for most of your eating endeavors. Usually Colony and Pinkberry.

8. You're either team THS or team St. Joe's.

9. You wind up at Merritt Canteen every Friday night, and Gus knows you by name.

10. Your claim to fame is that John Mayer grew up in Fairfield County, too (just me? Ok, well he did).

11. You got a good education from Trumbull High, but remember very few times when you actually did a lot of homework.

12.You agree that going 25 mph on a road as flat as Whitney is absolutely ridiculous.

13. Because of Trumbull's annoyingly slow speed limits and your need for speed, you know all of the cops/ hiding places (median on 25, by the trails on Whitney, under the bridge on Whitney, the street right after the bridge on Whitney... Basically everywhere on Whitney).

14. You've walked, biked, or explored nature in the trail that runs through Trumbull.

145. You sneak your way into THS posing as a student, just to visit your favorite teacher you had in high school.

16. When Go Greenly opened, it was the highlight of your month... But after a year max you found yourself back at the good 'ole PinkBerry.

17. You know Madison Middle School was without a doubt the superior middle school.

18. You participated in (or are anxious to participate in) the senior scavenger hunt around town. Put that bra on Jonathan Trumbull like no one has ever done before!

19. Raise your hand if you ever felt personally victimized by Mr. Neenan in the THS library.

20. You've done the drive down Dracula Drive (watch out for those melon heads).

21. You had at least one birthday dinner at Ichiro.

22. If you want to see anyone and everyone, you know all you have to do is go to the Edge. But good luck trying to find a parking spot.

23. You know that where you went to elementary school defines who you are (Tashua rules, Daniels Farm thinks they're awesome but are really just ok, Frenchtown was only known for being the new school, did anyone even go to Middlebrook?).

24. If you weren't at Merritt on a Friday night, you were at the Galaxy Diner in Bridgeport.

25. Rent-a-senior, 'nuff said.

26. You know that Rascal Flatts was the social hangout of the YEAR.

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.
