He grooves on floats, schemes, and quotes John Lennon. What more could you want?

9 Reasons Ferris Bueller Is The Best Ever
hello giggles

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is an iconic movie. Disagree? I'm sorry, you're wrong and you really need to reevaluate your life. I mean, it has humor, drama, a musical scene, and takes you on an emotional roller coaster throughout the film. Oh, and the pure genius behind Ferris's schemes? I'll repeat: iconic. But, the best part of the movie isn't the schemes or the friendship or the feels. It's Ferris himself. He's sweet, smart, a great friend, and all around great person. Everyone loves him (besides Mr. Ed Rooney perhaps). All in all, he's the shit. Here's 9 reasons why Ferris Bueller is the greatest ever.

1. He managed to sum up high school in a single sentence

Fun fact, this very quote was my senior year quote.

2. He had some pretty wise words of wisdom

I mean, come on. That's pretty great. And the fact he goes onto quote John Lennon? Even better.

3. He was a hacker before it was cool

And he did it on this dinosaur. I can barely work my Mac most days, so this is especially impressive.

4. Literally everyone liked him

The sports, the motor heads, geeks, sluts, bloods, watetoids, and dweebies to be exact.

5. He was a great friend to Cameron

Without Ferris, Cameron never would've had such a great day downtown, and he never would've been brave enough to stand up to his dad. So, really it was a win win when Ferris made him get out of bed.

6. And he was the boyfriend we all wished we had

He got her out of school, took her on the day of a lifetime, and asked to marry her. I mean, how can he get anymore perfect? Plus, that kiss in the museum.....

7. He served the ultimate burns

This line in itself was iconic. I mean, the sass level is off the charts and I absolutely love it.

8. The boy could groove

You can't watch this scene without 1. swooning and 2. getting up and singing Twist and Shout yourself. It's impossible, I dare you to try not to do at least one of them.

9. And finally, he told us all that anything was possible if you had enough nerve

I'm not going to lie. After I saw this movie the first time I was ready to play hooky for a week and go gallivanting around downtown Nashville. And it was all because of this line. Looking back, I really wish this would've been my senior quote instead.


Thank you, Ferris. You supplied us with an abundance of life lessons and quotes to live by, and taught us exactly how far was too far (hint: the limit does not exist). Keep groovin' on floats and staying clear of Mr. Rooney. I sure do hope you ended up graduating high school.

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.
