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.

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
