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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
