Let's just say there's nothing better then a Long Island bagel. All college students from Long Island who go away to school know nothing compares to a Long Island bagel. That's one thing that you cannot get anywhere else.

2. Pizza

I can't say we have the best pizza (I'll give it to New York City and Chicago), but we sure do have really good pizza. I know I can speak for myself and kids who go to school in Connecticut, but we sure do miss a good slice of Long Island pizza.

3. Mom's Home Cooked Meals

This goes for anyone, but Long Islanders definitely missed Mom's best home cooked meals. I definitely appreciated the first day I was home my mom's homemade chicken soup and her best dishes.

4. Trips into NYC

The Long Island Railroad is so convenient for Long Islanders and just a 45-minute ride into the city. It's something Long Islanders love doing especially during the holiday season. Trips to the city relieve a lot of stress and are a like a mini-vacation for Long Islanders.

5. Our Long Island "accent" not being weird to people

When I'm at school, people think us Long Islanders have funny accents, so when we are home we don't have to worry about being asked what this term means.

6. Beaches

Although it is the winter time, we are having crazy high temperatures right now, and some Long Islanders are coming home to go to the beaches to relieve the stress from finals. When summer time comes that's the hot spot for Long Island college students.

7. Two-Minute Drive Thru's

Long Island is known for their quick drive thrus, but when you leave it becomes 10x slower, so when Long Islanders come home they appreciate the fast drive thru service

8. Getting together with family

This is not just for Long Islanders but a thing everyone misses is family, a big time off around the holidays now is a time where college students catch up and see family they haven't seen since the summer time.

9. Long Island delis

In my opinion and if you were to ask any Long Islander, Long Island delis have the best sandwiches whether you're in the mood for a breakfast sandwich or something for lunch. Long Islanders can't wait to go to their favorite deli when they get home.

10. Friends

How could I forget this one -- it's the most important one. It's always good to catch up and reunite with friends from high school who go away to school and you haven't seen in a long time.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
