35 Things Less Stressful Than A UVA Basketball Game

This past Saturday's win against UNC was an exciting and exhilarating one. However, the thrill of a win comes at the price of an emotional roller coaster that takes you from heights unimagined to depths of dread that only come with nightmares. Here is a list of things that are less stressful than a UVA basketball game—I'm not exaggerating.

  1. Choosing an Instagram caption.
  2. Choosing a Tinder profile picture.
  3. Putting a new sticker on your laptop.
  4. The timed multiplication tests you had to take in the third grade.
  5. Taking the SATs.
  6. Taking the MCATs.
  7. Taking the bar exam.
  8. Taking your driver's test.
  9. Texting your crush for the first time.
  10. Meeting your significant other's parents.
  11. Picking out an engagement ring.
  12. Asking a girl to marry you.
  13. Looking at your Snapchat story in the morning after a night out.
  14. Looking at your Uber bill at the end of the month.
  15. Cooking for Gordon Ramsay.
  16. Auditioning for "American Idol" when Simon was a judge.
  17. Shooting free-throws to win the NBA Finals.
  18. Being told you have to guard Steph Curry.
  19. Being a goalie during penalty kicks in the World Cup.
  20. Fighting Ronda Rousey.
  21. Fighting a bear.
  22. Hosting the Oscars.
  23. Being Leonardo DiCaprio at the Oscars.
  24. "The Bachelor" rose ceremonies.
  25. The limo ride to the Final Rose.
  26. Driving a car with no brakes.
  27. Being stuck upside down on a roller coaster.
  28. Attempting to fly a plane after both co-captains mysteriously pass out.
  29. Performing brain surgery in the dark.
  30. Performing heart surgery on the President.
  31. Defusing a bomb that's going to explode in three minutes.
  32. Falling off a boat in the middle of the ocean without knowing how to tread water.
  33. Cutting your finger in shark-infested waters.
  34. Zip-lining with a broken harness.
  35. Thinking about a future with Donald Trump as our president (but seriously, people—this is a problem).

Here's to the rest of the season—it's only going to get more stressful from here on out.

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:

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.
