It's The Little Things.

How You Know You're In Deer Park

We all have our unique little things that separate our towns from each other. There are many obvious things we locals are so well known with, and we just know it's Deer Park.


1. We have all of the fast food places.

Aside from a few, pretty much all of the typical fast food places, such as McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and recently Sonic, is all placed on the same road: Deer Park Ave. You can't go too far without seeing at least one fast food place.

2. So many pizza places.

Along with the fast food places, we literally have so many pizza places, you really can't miss any of them! They're almost on every corner along Deer Park Ave and other places as well.

3. No healthy fast food places.

Okay, we have Energy Fuel, but they are expensive! There is no actual healthy food place to stop in and actually get something fresh and healthy, other than smoothie and yogurt places. We should get on that, Deer Park...

4. Tanger Outlets.

Other than Riverhead, we're the only other town that has a Tanger Outlets, complete with stores and our own movie theater. Props to us.

5. Size.

Deer Park Ave is very long, but that's pretty much what makes up Deer Park. It's a pretty small town, and you're pretty much out of the town in about 10 minutes tops. Unless you stop at one of our many food locations, then that's a different story.

6. SkyZone.

Some towns have Bounce, or Air, but Deer Park has SkyZone, the only town to have it on Long Island. And we are the best; not that I'm being biased or anything.

7. Location.

We are literally smack in the middle of the island. If you want to go out east, it's about an hour or so away. If you want to go to the city, it's about the same time. You can't really go wrong when you're really in the middle of everything.

8. Bagels.

Not going to lie, we have some pretty freaking amazing bagels.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
