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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
