Growing up, all of us just wanted to be adults already. We were sick of nap time, going to school, and being told what to do. Little did any of us know that when we hit 18 years old, all of that was on us. Now, I am sure that we all regret that. Here are seven ways you know that you are "adulting."

1. Making your own appointments

As kids, our parents took care of when our appointments were and what all needed to be done. Now, taking care of your own appointments is a big mess. Trying to fit it in your schedule is probably the hardest part.

2. Money

Do I even need to explain this?

3. Getting up early

Yes, in high school it was easy waking up early. Once you graduate, you go into college thinking, “Yes, I don’t have class until noon, I get to sleep in." Yeah.. no — it’ll feel like that the first semester, but then the second semester, your schedule will flip, and you’ll start getting up at 7 AM.

4. Hooking up cable

Calling Midco to set up your cable is one of the most time-consuming things you’ll go through as you start off your adult life.

5. Realizing that 24 hours in a day is not enough

With school, work, social life, you-time, and eating, you start to notice you don’t have enough time for all of it. So usually when you have a day where you don’t need to do anything, those are the days where you just don’t want to do anything.

6. Making sure you never run out of the things you need

Shampoo and conditioner, hand soap, and tide pods are just some of the things that go by so fast that you just must always keep going out and making those purchases.

7. Your social life becomes nonexistent

You know you have no social life when your friends stop asking you to hang out because you are always busy.

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.
