An Important Letter To Myself

I need to do better.

Lindsey,

Did you realize you tend to self-sabotage? Things in your life can be going perfectly, but you always tend to ruin it in a big way. Why do you do this? What's the point?

You need to do better. Be better. Make sure you are doing what you're supposed to. It's not just yourself that you're ruining.

Think about your mom and dad, and how much they sacrifice for you every day. Don't you realize how much of a slap in the face it is when you do things like this? Look at yourself in the mirror. You weren't raised to be this way.

Why ruin the good life your parents worked so hard to set up for you? Probably the worst part about any downfall is seeing their angry or disappointed faces. They only want what's best for you, and yet here you are sticking your foot in it.

It's like being a good person is too boring sometimes, and you just have to rebel, even if only for a moment. But there are consequences, and now you have to deal with the aftermath of your poor decision making.

So, tell me, was it worth it? Did you get the cheap thrill you were looking for?

No?

So, change it.

Don't be your own worst enemy anymore. Make smarter decisions. Think about what will happen after you go through with something, before you do it. Be responsible. Don't ruin your parents' trust in you. Family is the most important thing in your life, so don't continue to mess it up.

Think about your future, Lindsey. You have so much to look forward to. What are you doing? Is this some kind of subconscious downward spiral? Maybe you need help. Maybe you just need to think before you act.

Don't ruin your life before it even begins.

Reflect.

Repent.

Learn from your mistakes.

Be better,

Lindsey

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.
