You mean pizza isn't good everywhere?

6 Things You Miss About Connecticut

In This Article:

There is no place like home . . . here are 6 things all people from Connecticut miss.

1. New Haven Pizza.

You will never find thin crust pizza as good as Pepe's.

2. Stew Leonard's

You have to experience Stew's for yourself to know how special it is to CT natives. No where else can you get that many free samples and have a cow sing to you when you're trying to pick your groceries. Oh... and the ice cream is amazing.

3. Sports Rivalries

The New York/Boston rivalry is one of the most cherished rivalries in sports history. It's SO boring when your new city only cheers for ONE team!

4. Private Schools aren't this big everywhere

What do you mean you didn't wear a uniform to school everyday? You never survived a winter in a short plaid skirt and knee socks?It builds character.

5. You will never live in such a central area again

if you really tried to, you could probably visit The Hamptons, New York City, Boston and Rhode Island all in one day. The accessibility to these popular cities is something a lot of Connecticut residents take for granted but would never want to sacrifice.

6. Fall will never be the same

Sadly, nothing compares to Connecticut's autumn. Apple picking is a right of passage before the holiday season. The leaves just aren't as pretty anywhere else.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
