I recently returned to one of my favorite cities... good ole' Nashville, Tennessee. I absolutely love this city; from the never-ending live country music, to the various southern comfort foods, it's an experience unlike any other. If you find yourself in the city anytime soon, here are a few things I would highly recommend checking out:

1. Biscuit Love

This was the very first stop my boyfriend and I made after landing in Nashville. DO NOT BE SCARED AWAY BY THE LINE! It moves very fast; they have to keep the line outside of the door due to fire hazards. Therefore, it always appears to be a much longer wait than it actually is.

We ordered the "East Nasty" which was fried chicken with sausage gravy on a fresh biscuit. I also ordered a caramel latte and not going to lie, it was one of the best coffees I have ever tried... and I am pretty particular (plus I loved the pumpkin in the foam, too cute!).

The restaurant was very trendy and an amazing experience with delicious food!

2. Broadway

We found our way down Broadway three separate times throughout our weekend in Nashville. The first day we walked through the shops, settled down in one of the bars and experienced really good live music. The nice thing about Nashville is if you don't like the music you're hearing- just keep walking and you will encounter various other country musicians.

I am a huge music fan; I grew up singing/performing so I have a large appreciation for live music. We ended up checking out several different bars by the end of our trip and got tasty drinks and food at each. Our favorite was the new Florida Georgia Line bar- definitely check it out!

We went to the predators game Saturday night which was super wild; the fans in Nashville are for sure something else, which made it all the more exciting. We then returned to Bridgestone Arena on Sunday to see The Weeknd who put on a phenomenal concert.

It was nice that we got to hang out downtown beforehand and simply walk over to the arena when it was time for each event. It is super convenient that the stadium is located in the center of downtown.

So make sure to set a night aside to make your way down Broadway- you won't (or maybe you will) regret it!

3. The Gulch

We were told by several friends that this was a very interesting area with lots of cool shops and good restaurants. Of course we took a pic at the classic "#WhatLiftsYou" mural at 302 11th Ave S. It was surprisingly not that busy and it's absolutely beautiful in person. Glad we snagged this picture as it was my birthday and I wanted something cute to post together. This is also where Biscuit Love was located and several other cool restaurants.

Make sure you are prepared to shop for some bigger pants after eating your heart out at the plethora of delectable restaurants in the Gulch!

4. East Nashville

We checked out East Nashville by total accident. I woke up hungry as a hippo and looked up good brunch areas near our Airbnb. I found The Frothy Monkey, which was another delicious breakfast place.

They had a diverse menu and a large bar for coffee and teas. The wait was similar to Biscuit Love but wasn't unbearable. The area was very young, a lot of trendy college/grad students which I personally liked.

We continued to walk around and found the "I Believe In Nashville" mural and had to get pics... duh! I really loved this area and we didn't even mean to find it! They had many cute areas to take pictures and various little shops.


Overall the city hosts many diverse events and areas to explore - I will be returning again no doubt. Do your research on what all the city offers compared to what you're interested in, and be prepared for lots of country music and good times!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
