I Will Always Love You, Connecticut.

Massachusetts is great, but nothing compares to my home.

I Will Always Love You, Connecticut.
The Two Oh Three

As I sit here in my bedroom at college, about to finish my first semester of my sophomore year, I'm beginning to miss the place that shaped me into the person I am. Sure, Massachusetts may be only two hours away from Connecticut, but it's a completely different vibe here.

When I close my eyes and think about my home, I can't help but smile. Home is where memories were made and where I became the person I am today.


I miss being minutes away from the beach where late night adventures happened, and the newly 2015 Brien McMahon graduates sat and watched the sunrise for the last time together before we all said our goodbyes, not only to high school but for some of us, Connecticut.

Home is where I stepped outside of my comfort zone and surprised myself with things I never knew of I was capable of.It's because of my small hometown in Connecticut that I have gotten some of the opportunities I have.


The 203 isn't just an area code.

What better way to show your pride for your home town?


The Two Oh Three was started about two years ago by a brother-sister duo with a passion for their home state. Co-Founders, Tory and Roscoe Brown, believe that Connecticut is a small state with a lot to brag about.

The Two Oh Three is a local lifestyle that celebrates Connecticut and its iconic 203 area code. They sell Connecticut and 203 branded products, apparel and accessories to give their customers a tangible way to rock their CT pride!

Their “Home For The Holidays” campaign focuses on embracing the magic of celebrating the holiday season right here in Connecticut. It features locally designed and locally produced products that give our customers a tangible way to show their Connecticut pride!

Be sure to over and show them some love!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
