20 Things you Didn't Know About Me
Sydney Shaw

1) No matter how hard I try, I can’t sleep in. I’ll wake up at 7 am, and lay in bed till 9 am. Then I force myself to get out of bed because I can't fall back asleep. It's a curse.

2) I’m a coffee drinker; creamer is a must.

3) I love the way a blanket feels after it’s hot out of the dryer.

4) I never used to get emotional during movies, but ever since I’ve begun my life as a college student and I’ve endured life’s hardships, I find every sad moment in a movie relatable.

5) I love having red nails and curling my long, blonde hair. (Okay, y'all could probably guess that one about me).

6) I secretly hate wearing cute clothes. I still wear them for some reason, but as soon as I’m home and I know I don’t have to go anywhere, I’ll throw on a sweatshirt and some leggings.

7) I love cold weather.

8) My favorite time of year is fall because watching the leaves change color and drift to the ground reminds me that everything has a purpose in life, even if it means you have to transform yourself into a newer shade of beautiful in order to come back down to earth.

9) I wish the Vikings would win the super bowl. (...We all know that's not going to happen this year though).

10) I also wish I could lose 30 pounds.

11) Before I go to bed at night, I listen to music super loudly and imagine myself singing in a music video.

12) I hate bees, a lot. Why? I got chased by one around my garage when I was five and I got stung by one twice in my leg and finger.

13) I love the feeling of Butter London lip gloss on my lips.

14) It took me 15 years to get my ears pierced.

15) My favorite Bible verse is Joshua 1:9

16) Sometimes when I get done from working late at night, I’ll crack open a tub of cream cheese and dip extra toast Cheez-its in it. Best midnight snack EVER.

17) Waking up to a fresh blanket of snow while still comfy and cozy in bed is my favorite thing in the world.

18) I can’t fall asleep without a fan on.

19) When I’m stressed out, I take a long, hot shower only using candlelight to see.

20) My relationship with God is the most important thing in the world to me.

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.
