Top 10 Lists

So I'm typically not the "blogging" type....but I'm very bored..so I figured why not? Besides, sometimes I just have so much insight to share with the world...might as well go for it. As for right now, I've created several top lists pertaining to my life.

1.) Top Reasons Why Working in Central/East PA Would Rock My Socks:
1.) The Weather...it's always warmer, more sunny...and come winter...closings and delays for virtually no snow...basically because people freak out and don't know how to deal with what they aren't used too.
2.) Friends...I get to see college friends that I'm reallly close too and sometimes feel like they know me better than myself way more often...the good times would be rolling.
3.) Things to Do: THere's philly, hershey, harrisburg, york, lancaster, gettysburg....all in a short drive!! Around here...there is not much to do..plus there is so much history out that way...I like history actually...who knew?
4.) Beach- I would be way closer to the beach for those summers as a teacher that I have off...I can go visit!
5.) Cousins- I am super tight with my best buddies Jack, Maddie and Nina, and I'd get to visit them more, watch them grow up, and have them over for sleep overs and continue my role as being surrogate older sister.
6.) Highways/Traffic- other than I-83..pretty much all highways are enjoyable to drive on...they are smooth, fairly straight...and rarely lots of construction or traffic that you find on I-79/I-279 and the city of Pittsburgh all the freakin time.
7.) Shopping- I dont like to shop..but if I ever did decide that I liked it....I have sooo many options to choose from...again..way more than here.
8.) Eagles Fans- I would be amused 24-7 with picking on the eagles and even ravens fans for that matter...too much fun...I miss hearing doors slam like I did at college.
9.) Teaching jobs pay more there....out here I make nothing!! and I'd make almost 5,000-10,000 less out here than I would out there.
10.) Being out of the house...dont get me wrong, love my parents and siblings dearly...but I yearn for independence....I would love to just be free.

Top 10 Reasons Why It would be bad to live out Central PA/East:
1.) Family- parents, sisters are here. I would have to travel 3 hours plus depending where I live just to visit and/or holidays...that's wear and tear on Malcolm who is already old.
2.) Friends- There are four individuals (they know who they are) who make living in Cranberry bareable....as they make me not want to kill myself on a regular basis..oh yeah and they make me laugh!
3.) Cost of Living- yes I get paid more to teach out there, and subbing...but that's because it's more expensive to live out there than here...go figure
4.) Winter....it gets cold (which I hate)..but at the same time..I love snow....for snowball fights, skiing, etc....there arent really any good places close by to ski and they hardly get any snow ..or at least enough to do much with...I actually miss that.
5.) Hospitals- Pittsburgh area has the best hospitals incase somoething happens to ya, they are known worldwide....out the way I'd like to live...not sure if I'd trust Harrisburg.
6.) Steelers- I wouldnt always get the Steelers games and I would indeed be outnumbered by Philly fans.
7.) Culture- I sadly would probably start saying things like soda, and subs, and whoopie pies...sad sad..I like W. PA lingo!
8.) Kennywood-...yeah I would have hersheypark at my disposal..but no amusement park is like K-wood, it's a classic.
9.) I-83....this highway is a nightmare...and depending where I live...may have to endure it's hell every single day..eeeeek
10.) Anti-Catholicism- yes..I am not the most devote Catholic, and I dont agree with everything the Catholic church does..however..I dont appreciate people slammming it, telling me I'm damned, and that I worship Mary. Not cool yo.
