7 Places To Go In Westchester County, NY

Living in Westchester County in New York all my life, I have explored many times what it has to offer. Being in Eastchester specifically, there is not much to do since it is a small town. Many times my friends and I would want to do something and we end up driving around because we can't find something to do. As I became more of an independent driver, I started to venture out and find new places that I could enjoy for different things. Here are 7 places that I have found to be worth visiting in Westchester County. These are only suggestions and there are many other places to visit, but I haven't visited them yet.

1. Slave To The Grind- Bronxville

Literally the cutest coffee shop in the world. If you want a chill, laid back place to come meet up with friends, this is the place you have to take a trip to. Oh and the coffee is actually reallllly good.

2. Ridge Hill- Yonkers

This mall has everything you need without the need to go to a million separate places. Movie theater, clothing stores, restaurants and so much more. Good for a rainy day with covered walkways or to walk around outside on the sunniest of days. It is extremely kid friendly and another great hangout place.

3. Playland Amusement Park- Rye


No matter what age you are, this is one place to go to have extreme fun. Having a beach, water park, and regular amusement rides, you can spend a full day here and never run out of fun things to do.

4. New Roc City- New Rochelle

Another great little fun mall, including a movie theater, resturants, and other fun activites like bowling and glow in the dark mini golf. This is a great place to hang with friends or family outing. Either way, a great place to visit and have fun.

5. Central Avenue- Yonkers

This whole strip is just bound of endless possibilities. Places to eat and shop for all different things. When you are in need of anything, going down this road can bring you to multiple places that will help you find what you need.

6. Wilkens Farm- Yorktown

This farm is a must in the fall in Westchester County. Apple cider donuts, apples, and hayrides are going on all the time. What more can you ask for?

7. House of Sports- Ardsley

This place is very close to my heart. A fantastic sport facility including lacrosse, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and hockey. This is the place to come train, have fun, and potentially become the best athlete you can.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
