There's no place like Buffalo

Buffalo heres to you, home of the rowdiest most dedicated fans, sponge candy, chicken wings, loganberry and so many other great things.

If you're a football or hockey fan you know that Buffalo has one of the most dedicated and rowdy fan bases around. Honestly, I don't think any city can compare when it comes to the things we Bills fans do. Whether its 80 degrees or -30 you know New Era stadium will be full of crazy drunk Bills fans. And I mean what better way to pregame for a football game than jumping off a car and breaking a table in the parking lot? And who cares if its -20 degrees outside men will insist on being shirtless. You could never be bored on a Sunday at the Ralph(I don't care that the name changed it will always be the Ralph). Not only are Bills fans crazy, they are also super dedicated. I mean how many years has it been since they were in the playoffs? Doesn't matter. It will be packed for every home game from September to December rain, shine, or blizzard. And Key Bank center although it was changed names so many times in my lifetime, one thing that never changes are the fans filling every seat in the building whether we have playoff hopes or not. OneBuffalo isn't just a saying here. These sports team have helped bring the whole community together because of one thing most Buffalonians have in common, the love for our home teams.

FOOD. Buffalo food compares to no other. I have yet to find a chicken wing anywhere that can even come close to wings in Buffalo. Also we have sponge candy, most other places don't even know what sponge candy is how sad is that! We also have Loganberry, yummmm. And have you ever had Lake Effect? Best ice cream with such unique flavors. If you live in buffalo and haven't tried it you need to stop reading and go get some, right now.

You can guarantee that a few feet of snow isn't stopping us from going to school or work and definitely isn't going to close school for us. We don't exactly have "normal" weather either. Monday it could be snowing and 10 degrees but no worries on wednesday it could be raining and 80 or sunny and 75 on Thursday.

Buffalo is also filled with so many amazing and giving people. During a snow storm neighbors will help shovel each other out, when theres a problem people band together to fix it.

Whether you live in Buffalo or have only visited you know theres no place like Buffalo. You can move away but your love for this city is irreplaceable. You'll never find a better place to live than here in Buffalo, NY.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
