Southeastern PA is soooo much different than any other part of PA. It is only once you leave, you realize how great everything about "home" is. Here are the 11 things you will definitely miss when you leave your home in southeastern PA:

Wawa

Everyone has their favorite go-to Wawa, it's like your second home.

Quick rides to Philly

Only an hour (on a good day) on Route One or I-95 to get to the city!

Route One

The Autobahn of Eastern PA. Speed limit is 55? We'll see.

Kennett Square

Sure, it may smell like literal sh*t all the time, but that's part of its charm!

The sweet cream cheese pretzels, the hoagies, the macaroni and cheese...

Amish

There are Amish in other parts of PA, but nowhere near the amount in Lancaster County. I actually miss having to pass 15 buggies on the way to school in the morning.

Philly Sports

Giphy

Central PA is filled with Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates fans. I miss being surrounded by Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers fans! #NoOneLikesUs

You're a short drive away from multiple states

Giphy

Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia. All within a couple hour drive!

A two-hour drive to the beach

From my neck of the woods, it is two-hours to Rehoboth Beach! It takes me four hours now to get to the coast.

The food

Giphy

Cheesesteaks, hoagies, Chickie's and Pete's Crab Fries, Herr's Potato Chips. Need I say more?

Wawa

Giphy

Ok, I know I've listed Wawa multiple times, but it totally deserves it. Wawa is superior to all other gas stations. End. Of. Discussion.

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.
