Best Foods at the Big E!

The Big E stands for the Eastern States Exposition which is known as the New England's Great State Fair. The Big E is in the town of West Springfield in Massachusetts which is a neighboring town of where I live. Therefore, I grew up going to the Big E every year many times because it only runs once a year for three weeks, at the end of September to October. It is everyone's favor time of the year, except for the traffic that it brings.

Best Foods at the Big E!

1. Billy's Baked Potatoes

THE BEST. This has to be one of my favorite foods at the Big E. Every year the first time I go, I go straight to the Billy's Baked Potato stand. I highly recommend.


2. Fried Oreos

A CLASSIC. Fried oreos are at almost all fairs and just a classic fair food. This is something else I always get at least once.


3. Mini Donuts

YUM. Mini donuts that are cooked right in front of you. This is something that I always get on my way out of the Big E at night, can't go wrong with either powder sugar or cinnamon.


4. Philly Steak and Cheese

YES. This is my dad's favorite food at the Big E. Anytime I go and he cannot, I get one and take it home for him.


5. Craz-E burger

UM WHAT. I ca not say this is something I have ever indulged in but it has such good reviews. It might sound gross and very out there, but it a big hit for others.


6. Deep fried cannoli

LOVE. Cannoli's are such a sweet treat but imagine them deep fried? Yes... it is very unhealthy but sometimes you have to treat yourself. Just think, this is only once a year.


7. 1 Pound Meatball

WOW. Holy meat, yes this is a meatball. Yes, it weighs a pound. A local company provides this and is a huge, delicious hit at the Big E.


8. Turkey Leg

VERY WEIRD. People walk around chomping on it and carrying it around. This is only seen at the Big E.


9. Fried Dough

CLASSIC. Fried dough is also at every fair or carnival. Everyone should take advantage of this fried dough, again with powdered sugar or cinnamon.


10. Giant Mozzarella Stick

CHEESY. Yes, everyone loves mozzarella sticks but has anyone seen one this big? I bet not, unless you have attended the Big E.


Along with the food, there are carnival rides, carnival games, New England state buildings, animals, shops, parades, concerts, and plenty of events. The Big E is somewhere that everyone should try to visit because the experience is unlike any other. It is a very popular fair that I will always continue to go. Always explore the foods you like... travel here... and most importantly, be you!!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
