Five Foods That Pennsylvania Does Best

PA makes these foods better than anywhere in the south.

Five Foods That Pennsylvania Does Best

Don't get me wrong, the south is known for a lot of great things, like the weather and southern hospitality ... but when it comes to these mouth-watering foods, PA does it best.

1. Pork roll

It's similar to a Canadian bacon that can be put on a breakfast sandwich with an egg. But, to be honest, no one really knows exactly what's in it, or why it's not in the south ... but living life without ever trying pork roll is just not right.  

2. Cream cheese

Whether it's because of the perfectly creamy texture or the 800 flavors to choose from, Philly rightfully owns the title for best cream cheese.  It makes a perfect spread on a toasted bagel in the morning.



3. Pizza

Sorry to break it to you. Even though it might taste good when you're drunk, Dominos does not count as good pizza.

4. Hoagies

Hoagies from Wawa, in particular, are prime. When I hear someone say "What's Wawa?" I cringe. Do not compare it to Sheets or 7/11, because Wawa should have its own category.  With the quick service bar of deli meats and hot sides, it's hard to go wrong with Wawa for any meal. And the fact that it's open 24 hours comes in handy on late nights or early mornings. And P.S. it's called a 'hoagie,' not a 'sub.'



5. Cheesesteaks

And lastly, the obvious Philly Cheesesteak. Pats, Genos, or even just from the joint down the street, it's obvious that no other cheesesteak can beat the Philly Cheesesteak.  It doesn't matter if you have whiz or American, they're both tastier than the sad version the south tries to pass as a 'philly cheesesteak.'


All in all, sorry southerners, you truly haven't lived until you have had a mouthful of these foods from Pennsylvania.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
