It's almost finals week, and of course that means "hell week." You may have thought it wouldn't be as bad since you're not a freshman anymore, but it turns out you're dead wrong. You're stressed out, and in order to get anything done, you need to calm down, but how?

1. Try to be Productive Anyway

Although after maybe a few minutes, you find that was pointless.

2. Take An Internet Break

Although looking up your non-extreme political view on Tumblr was most definitely a bad idea.

3. Eat Chocolate

It tastes good, there have been studies done that it helps reduce stress... Wait that was dark chocolate... Oh, well.

4. Sleep

If you manage to sleep, that is. However, you won't feel like getting out of bed.

5. ASMR

All that weird whispering and tapping is supposed to relax your brain, after all. Either that, or it'll put you to sleep, and you'll still be stressed the next day.

6. Watch Something Mind Numbing

Cat videos? One of those remakes on Netflix? Well, the logic here probably is that if your brain slows down, then you'll be less stressed?

7. Watch Something Stimulating

You can think, but it's about something else interesting. Maybe as long as you're thinking, but not about class, you'll be fine.

8. Go Outside

Fresh air could probably help you de-stress. It finally feels like spring outside. Oh, wait... There's also pollen outside.

9. Scream into a Pillow

There's plenty of throw pillows around, might as well make daytime use of them. And it's a classic.

10. Hope for the Best

Nothing seems to be working, not even that additional internet break away from Tumblr. You just have to muddle through it.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
