3 Ways To Make Friends In College During Covid-19

I know it’s hard to make friends right now, so here’s some tips

1. Become Friends With Your Roommate

Not everyone has had the same experience as me but I am so happy with my roommate We get along and communicate which is a recipe for success. When you get a roommate immediately set boundaries, talk about your sleep schedules and what your schedule for school are like! Being on good terms with your roommate is so important. If they do something that upsets you or it makes you feel uncomfortable, talk to them about it immediately. I have heard so many stories of roommates not liking each other when in reality, the whole situation could have been fixed if you had set boundaries in the beginning.

2. Become Friends With Your Hall Mates

Because of COVID-19, there are not to many ways to talk to students during class. Many of us now have to become friends with the people we see the most. The people in our hall. It may see weird to say hi to someone who may not live near you but it is a great plan. That is how so many friendship will have to build off of now that classrooms are making students sit six feet away. If you have a lounge area or communal bathrooms, awkward I know, but for many when trying to make friends this will be the easiest way! Now the next time they see you, you can say hi as a friend instead of a stranger!

3. Say Hello To People You Normally Would Not Talk To

Many of us have just left high school and are looking for many new people to talk to. Just because you only had friends with certain qualities about themselves does not mean you still have to hang out with those same people anymore. It can be good to stay in contact with people or it might be time to branch out and meet new people. There is no harm in saying that you wanted to be a different person and hang around new people. Not everyone will be your friend but at least you tried! Try to make new friends, maybe grab lunch with someone you want to know better! You never know, they might end up being one of your closest friends!

Making friends can be a test in college but these three simple things hopefully will help! Best wishes to everyone in schooling and stay safe!

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:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

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.

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Try to make it real

With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
