6 Things Your College Tour Guide Wants You to Know
Derck and Edson

So you have been looking at colleges? You've endured endless college tours, pamphlets, interviews and applications. There has been so much information thrown at you in such small increments of time. It's an overwhelming yet exciting time of your life. You have probably been on so many college tours, that all the information is running together. I know, I've been there. Now, I am on the other side of it. I work as a college tour guide. Here are the things that your college tour guide wants you to know.

1. We are telling the truth.

We are not just being paid to make the school look good, we genuinely love our school. We have our jobs because we want to share our love of our school to you. When you ask us to tell you about our experiences, we are being honest with you.

2. Don't be afraid to ask us questions.

Questions help us create valuable conversation. You will be able to know exactly what you want to know if you ask us. Trust me, we are happy to answer them.

3. We aren't out of shape, it's just hard to talk while going up the stairs.

Sorry for our huffing and puffing.

4. Each tour is a little different.

We try to tailor our tours to you. We are not following a script, we are sharing our experiences based on your interests. We want to focus on what you are interested in.

5. Please pay attention.

Even if we are number five on your list. This is your future and our job. If you are on your cell phone, it will make the tour difficult for everyone. Who knows...maybe you will find something about the school that interests you.

6. Email us.

Do not be afraid to email us with any other questions that may pop up after your tour. We love receiving emails.

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.
