16 Signs You're An Education Major
Daily Genius

1. "Twirl 'til you Hurl" becomes a part of your daily vocabulary.

Does this bring back nightmares from Lit Block? *Casually spins finger in the air*

2. Your diet consist of Coffee, coffee, and more coffee.

We really need a starbucks near campus...amirite?

3. Children's books are at the top of your Christmas Wish List.


Gotta build that classroom library one way or another.

4. We have all been there at least once during Lit Block.


Enough Said.

5. Each semester ends with a giant potluck.


The most challenging part of potlucks is remembering who made which dish—I just don't trust some people, if you know what I am saying.

6. Sticky Notes have taken over your life.


A picture is worth a thousand words.

7. You have mastered highlighting the most important part of your notes.


Who am I kidding. We really just wait for the teacher to tell us what will be on the test, then we underline, star, highlight, and do everything we possibly can to try and remember to study that part.

8. If you have fought back tears when talking about chocolate.


If you have ever taken Mrs. Clont's class, you know exactly what I am talking about.

9. A lesson plan is not complete unless it's at least 10 pages long.


No, I am not exaggerating.

10. You refer to your cooperating teacher's class as your students.

We all do it whether you admit it or not.

11. Pinterest is the most used app on your phone.

If you are in the education program and you do not have a Pinterest account, you are doing life all wrong.

12. Acronyms are the new Pig Latin.


Acronyms really are a teachers best friend, especially on test day.

13. When you've accepted the fact that grades will be posted weeks after submission.


I understand you have 80 research papers to grade, but I am still going to be impatient and ask you every day if you have graded my paper yet.

14. Learning to use LiveText is more challenging then solving a Rubik's Cube.


I am a senior in college, and I still do not know how to use LiveText properly. I imagine this is how my grandma feels trying to send a text message.

15. It is you're, not your.

We try our best not to correct everyone's grammar, but sometimes we just can't help ourselves. For goodness sake, you have to learn the proper way to use "your" and "you're." If you need an example, please see the picture below.

16. And last but not least. When someone sits in your "unassigned" seat.

It is just a known fact that you better get a good seat on the first day of school, because this is where you will be sitting the rest of the year. No, it's not an assigned seat, but people will become very frustrated with you if you mix things up.

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.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

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.
