7 Sad Summer Realities

We all know these are true, but somehow we forget about them every year.

7 Sad Summer Realities

Everyone has the best expectations for every summer that they encounter. Nevertheless, the reality is a lot more different than what we expect all along before summer time comes.

1. Traveling Expectation

The first and most depressing one, is hoping to travel around the world with your friends - when instead you are lonely watching Netflix. Specially when you expect to take great pictures at the beach for your feed, but instead the only pictures you have are screenshots of memes.

2. Friends Expectation

Let’s just leave it at the fact that you hope you can have epic sleepovers and parties with friends, when in reality everyone is busy and avoids plans as much as possible.

3. Bookworm Expectation

During the summer, it is the best time to relax, and read as many books as possible. After all, you are earning great knowledge during the summer too… but, who actually has time for that? In reality, instead of being a “bookworm”, you are more of a “Netflix-worm”.

4. Summer Fling Expectation

If you can’t get boys when you see plenty of them at school, how will you have one when you see none during the summer?

5. Hot Weather Expectation

It is finally warm outside, and why not have a water balloon fight? Why not relax outside and have a lemonade stand or some refreshing activity? No. Instead, you are in your bed eating with your fan on.

6. Shopping Expectation

Everyone has to look trendy during the summer, and going shopping is a must. However, in reality, the most fashionable thing you will wear might only be your pajamas.

7. Workout Expectation

The motivation to workout and get a “summer bod” is never at its peak - until it’s summer. Nevertheless, the motivation to eat chips, sadly increases a lot too.

Oh, summer…

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.
