12 Reasons Why Being An Adult Is Great
Poorly Drawn Lines

So you're an adult now and you've finally entered the "real world" everyone has warned you about. Don't stress it, "adulthood" is stress-free and easy living. No responsibilities to worry about other than what you're going to eat tonight and what fun plans you will have this weekend! Adulthood is awesome.

1. You get to pay your own bills

Because who doesn't love getting their paycheck and spending half of it on bills within the first two days?

2. More bills then you can count

It's not just one bill, it's a phone, cable, car, utilities, insurance, house/apt/rent, etc. bill. And if you want the luxuries like memberships to gyms or food stores you need to pay those too! (Easy right?)

3. You have to buy your own groceries

$14 for steak? That's fine by me!

4. There's no longer a summer break

I love working all year now, especially in 81 degree weather.

5. Making responsible decisions all the time

Every day is spent making decisions that'll better your future, because who doesn't love choosing putting gas in your car rather then spending $35 on shots at a bar?

6. Paying taxes

Realizing that when you lost your W-2 forms, you were extremely f***ed.

7. Having to work the rest of your life

Oh I don't have a summer? Or spring break? Or winter break? Or off-time ever? That's OK, I wont mind working until I'm 64 and finally get retirement.

8. Skipping work isn't like skipping classes

Don't feel good? Or so tired that your eyes are closing themselves? Doesn't matter cause missing work means missing money and that's not a responsible choice an adult can make!

9. Going to doctors appointments alone

You can't just look at your parents anymore and have them explain what's wrong or what hurts.

10. Repaying student loans

Yeah, that $30,000 you took out to party for four years has to be repaid in increments that will make you cry.

11. Cleaning up after yourself

No one's there to tell you that you need to wash your dishes or do your laundry, but after you eat cereal out of a Tupperware and wear those dirty slacks three days in a row, you know it's time.

11. Yard work is totally awesome and fun

Finally it's the weekend and you have two days to relax. What better way to relax then mowing the lawn and trying to figure out why the hell your sprinkler is broken?

12. You can eat anything you want

Especially fast food, eating anything you want whenever you want it is amazing. Don't worry about that Big Mac you just devoured on your 30-minute lunch break, seven days straight in the gym should take care of it!

(P.S. This is all a joke, adulthood sucks.)

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.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
