An Ode To Wawa

Oh, humble, fortuitous Wawa, where do I even begin? Do I praise you for how dependable you are? Whether it be 2 AM on a Wednesday in Piscataway, 7:30 AM on a Tuesday in Center City, or any other conceivable combination on the space-time continuum (within NJ/PA), you are there for me. After a masquerade ball, before a trip to the beach, you welcome me with open arms.

It would be a crime to note your hospitality and not your trove of treasures. Every snack and drink conceivable to my finite, mortal mind is hosted by your shelves. I could spend hours poring over the content of your aisles, for they contain glorious multitudes. There is never a snack need that you cannot answer. There are even victuals unfathomable to me; it would be a sin most egregious to neglect to mention your hoagies at the very least. Your hoagies which have carried me near and far, sating this otherwise insatiable hunger of mine. And then you continue to blow my mind with food combinations unseen, such as your Cheesesteak Mac & Cheese or Chicken Bowl. ICEEs flow from your fountains like a river, a bountiful harvest of donuts made fresh daily is contained within your fields.

The thought of leaving you fills me with great despair; truly I have a Wawa-sized void in my heart. How could I survive the arid deserts of my life if not for your streams of canned cold brew? Surely I would stumble like a blind fool if it weren't for your Boston cream donuts lighting my way through the dimmest mornings and latest nights. You are woven into the fabric of my life; after a hairy break-up, I run to thee, in the midst of celebration I sing your praise with friends and family.

Truly, there are none above you. I couldn't leave the East Coast if I wanted to: I am weak to your powers. On a road trip, if someone daresay "Wanna stop at 7-Eleven?", immediately I knit my brow in incredulous indignation. How could they be so disloyal? How could they be so blind? My only hope is that they see the error of their ways.

You are a focal point in my millennial existence. I mourn those who have not yet met you, for they have yet to awaken and live as I have.

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.

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.
