This is probably every college student's least favorite question, but don't be afraid to say you don't know! Not having every detail of your life figured out yet is fine, and you have plenty of time to get it together. But for now, let's look at some relatable moments from The Office that really sum up the feels on this issue.

1. I refuse to grow up.

Complete denial. I will never be an adult with a job.

2. You mean college eventually ends?

College is a lot of work, but at least I make my own schedule and can sleep until 2 p.m. on the weekends if I want.

3. Ask me again when I'm done with these 5 papers, 8 assignments, and 3 exams if I still want a job some day.

You mean I have to work more after college? Can I just retire now?

4. Actually, I'm just going to be a stripper.

I've decided it'd just be easier this way. Time to let the world see my mad dance skills.

5. What random job will I answer with today because I still have no idea what I want to do with my life...

I'm interested in 100 different things, and I haven't narrowed it down to one yet, so I'll just pick the first one that pops into my head and pretend like a have a plan.

6. Is watching Netflix an acceptable career?

This is something I enjoy and am good at, and you're supposed to love your job right? Perfect!

7. Whatever pays the most that I can do from the comfort of my bed.

Getting out of bed is such a drag. It's just so warm and comfy here.

8. I've had my whole life to find the answer to this question and I still don't know!

I have existential crises once a week on this topic, and I still don't have an answer.

9. Can I just be a unicorn?

Beautiful, can fly, glitter, everyone would love me, sounds good.

10. Is giving bad advice a career choice?

Convincing your friend to go out the night before their big exam was probably a bad idea.

11. Is making bad decisions a career choice?

We're all just trying to do our best here. Some are doing better than others.

12. I am but a wee college student, I am not adulty enough to answer this.

I just barely started this adulting thing, please be patient with me.

13. I don't know, just gonna wing it.

Sometimes you've got to fail before you fly.

We all know how panic inducing it can be when someone asks us what our career goals are, but always remember you have a lot of time to figure this out. Some 40-year-olds still don't know "what they want to be when they grow up"! If you try one thing and don't like it, pick something else! And never feel like you're stuck. The possibilities are endless, so just find something you think you'll love and give it your best shot!

beer on the beach

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.
