Whether you like it or not, real life starts after graduation. It is time to get rid of the old and bring in the new, bright future.


1. Toxic Friendships

It may be tempting to keep these friends around so you don't feel lonely, but it's not worth it. The whole world is full of cool people you can meet.


2. Clothes You Never Wear

Yes, it was a hot look three years ago. But, trends change and so do your tastes.


3. Bad Study Habits

Maybe you coasted through high school, or maybe you are amazed you graduated. Either way, college is a lot harder, so that means studying more.


4. Poor Health Choices

I get it, eating fast food delivered straight to your door so you never have to leave the comfort of your couch is the best thing on earth. Though, the next time you have to take the stairs, all those times you "forgot" to go to the gym catch up to you.


5. Everything In Your Car

Odds are, you barely cleaned out your car during high school. But now that you are an adult, all of those empty soda cans and fast food bags may need to find a new home.

6. Random People's Numbers

If you have not been in contact with that person for more than a year, you do not need their number.

7. Your Old Notes

You made it, you graduated, you will never have to take sophomore English again.

8. All Of Your SAT Prep Books

These books were way to expensive to begin with, and are now completely worthless.

9. Those Old Tweets

Just ask yourself, would you want your grandma or future employer to see it?

10. Your Ego

The real world is about to kick your butt, and being humble is never a bad thing.

11. Everything You Thought You Knew

There is a whole world out there, with music, art and places for you to discover.

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.
