Why The Potsdam Food Co-op Is The Best Place To Shop
North Country Public Radio

There are quite a few grocery stores in Potsdam: Price Chopper, IGA, Walmart and the Co-op. As someone who has been eating vegan for a couple of months, I can say with certainty that the Co-op is just the best place to shop. There aren't a lot of options for vegans on campus, and when I went to the grocery store in my town I couldn't find a lot that I could eat, besides vegetables of course.

Good vibes.

I love the environment of the Co-op-- everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. Everything is very easy to find and if you can't find it, someone will help you. It always smells amazing and it has a variety of foods.

Quality food.

Along with grocery items they also have sandwiches and wraps and different things. You can always find something vegan or vegetarian-friendly. All their food is wonderful! You can get almost any kind of spice there; there's a wall with a ton of spices and you can scoop out as much as you want into a bag to buy it!

Not just food.

The Co-op also sells really nice candles, essential oils and items made locally.

A few of my favorite things.

I love getting sesame sticks, they come in a couple different flavors and they are very cheap! Whenever I get sesame sticks from other places, they don't taste quite the same-- maybe that's just me being biased, though. I really like that they sell ginger beer in the cooler because it's really nice to be able to just grab one with my lunch instead of having to buy a whole case at other stores. My favorite thing to get at the Co-op, though, is chai cola. It's really good and I didn't know it existed until I started shopping there. These are my personal favorite items but I have never bought anything that I didn't like.

I love this shop so much; it's my first choice when I need something even if it might mean spending a little more it's worth it because it has such a nice vibe, the people are friendly, and you can't beat local. Yes, you could probably find most of these products at a big store like Walmart but the quality and environment will not be the same.The Co-op is a really nice little place and it is really important to support small businesses whenever you can! Shop local!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
