Firstly, I want to share that I am not from Philadelphia, and it seems like everyone who loves it, is. I grew up in Connecticut, and my family had an apartment in NYC up until the pandemic. While New York City will always hold a place in my heart, many visits and weekend trips made me realize how much I love Philly.

The Location

One thing that I absolutely love about Philly is its location. It's not far from New York, Pittsburgh, Boston, and the Jersey Shore! This makes it convenient for business, and perfect for weekend trips!

The Spirit

It seems like everyone from Philly is so proud to be from Philly. If you don't believe me, you should check out the sports games!

The Food

There are amazing restaurants in Philadelphia, and it's home to the famous cheesesteaks!

The History

The city contains so much history. Right at your side is Independence Hall!

The Size

Philly is the perfect size to me. It's a big enough city with a lot to do, but it is not too overwhelming.

The Suburbs

Along with the city, the suburbs are beautiful. I particularly love the Main Line.

For these reasons, Philly seems like the perfect future home.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
