4 Little Tips For the High School Seniors

You only think you're ready to get out of there.


1. Stop complaining about being in high school.

You only get to go through high school once. Stop complaining about the bull crap work that you have do. You're gonna miss it. You're gonna miss the teachers reminding you when things are due. You're gonna miss your parents making you go to class because the one day you don't go to class in college you get bonus or they assign something that you have no idea about.

2. Go to all the events.

Spring semester will bring a ton of senior events. Go to them all. You've probably been told this a million times but it's because it's so true. Just go.

3. Start preparing for college early.

Figure out what you are going to need and start shopping early. There's nothing like shopping at the very last minute and not getting what you want. Don't get everything on the list the college sends you. Find a friend that has lived in the dorms and they should be able to tell you exactly what you need and do not need.

4. Spend time with your family.

Believe me, I was ready to get off to college, away from my family for a little bit. I thought that I knew how to do everything and I would be just fine. Wrong! I call my mom and dad every other day and text them almost daily. If it's not a question about what to do then it's an "I miss you, can I just come home?". Spend Friday nights at home watching movies or playing cards. It'll be well worth it when you look back on all the memories.

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:

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.
