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 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
