7 Things I Miss About Norwalk CT
Norwalk CT

Even though Massachusetts is only two and a half hours away from my hometown, I still finding myself missing home more than I should. Home is where memories were made and where mom's home cooked meals are made. There are so many things I love and miss about being home, here are a few:

Calf Pasture Beach

It's no Malibu, but here is where late night adventures start, Fourth of July fireworks happen, and where newly Brien McMahon graduates watch the sunrise together for the very last time before starting our new separate journeys.


PRDs

What makes a diner a diner? Is it the sheen of steel and the sizzle of bacon? Or is it a feeling of community and comfort? PRDs is a second home for many. Its where we go after Prom, when the bell rings at 2:15, and when its a hot summers day and all you want is a root beer float.


Brien McMahon vs Norwalk High School


Who doesn't love a good rivalry? *Cough* BMHS is better *Cough*. Once a Senator always a Senator.


Stamford


Being less than 15 minutes away from Stamford is a blessing and a curse. Theres the Stamford mall which is a gift sent from God himself but unfortunately its where all of our paychecks end up being spent as well as the Westport shops.

Bowlmor


Lazor Tag, Bowling, an arcade with Flappy Bird, and a bar with killer food. What else could you possibly need?!


Donut Delight


Better than Dunkins and better than Starbucks (Oh yeah that's right! I said it!). Ever thing from their lemonades to their coffee smoothies. Donut Delight is the perfect pick me up after a stressful day at school which is perfectly placed down the street from my old High School. This is also where I've crashed friends on dates multiple times because I can't get one of my own. #ForeverSingle

"The City"

In Connecticut we refer to NYC as "The City", aka the best city in the world. Being around an hour away from Norwalk, we find ourselves here an awful lot.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
