6 Things I'll Miss Most About Pennsylvania
Drew Heisey

In less than a week, I'll be moving back to Orlando for the next eight months. I can't wait to begin this new chapter of my life, but I will miss Pennsylvania, my home for the last 22 years. Here are the things I'll miss about Pennsylvania.

1. My family and friends:


Most of my family lives in Pennsylvania, so I won't be able to see them as easily as I can now. I will miss them the most, especially not being home for Thanksgiving or Christmas again this year. I hope to come home and visit during these eight months.

Even though I just graduated, I will miss college and the friends I made so much. But as they say, all good things must to end, and college was the best four years of my life, but I have another journey to embark on now.

2. All the memories made there:

Where do I start, I grew up in Pennsylvania, so all my childhood was in good old Quakertown, PA. There are many words that I have for my hometown and the couple that come to mind is "Always There." I know that Quakertown will always be there for me to comeback to.

3. Sadly, winters:

Yes, I will sadly miss the winters. Not that much, but I'll miss the days where we might have a snow day or a day to just stay in and cuddle up to keep warm. I will not miss shoveling snow or salting.

4. The City:

Philadelphia is the city that I have the most memories with. From going there on school trips to going there to see the Phillies win a game, the city is jam-packed with things to do. I'll miss the atmosphere the city instills and the beautiful skyline.



5. Places that I grew up eating at:

There are many mom and pop shops all around Quakertown. The ones that I will miss the most are Sal's Pizza Randa and The Best Food in Town: Chinese Kitchen. Both offer different varieties of food, but are some of the best authentic food I have ever had.


6. The great outdoors feel:

Pennsylvania is farmlands as far as I can see. But compared to the swampy-ness of Florida, Pennsylvania farmlands are beautiful! Wide fields with beautiful deep green grass or off-yellow corn stalks stretch for acres. There is something peaceful about them and I'd rather not be scared about what is lurking in the swamps of Florida.

I could keep going on and on about Pennsylvania, but I know that I can return to the state and town where I grew up anytime I want. Pennsylvania, this isn't the last you seen've of me.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
