I Took A Personal Day And Found Myself Cruising The Blue Ridge Parkway On The Back Of A Motorcycle

Sometimes, it takes a little bit of gas and lot of faith to make things work.

I Took A Personal Day And Found Myself Cruising The Blue Ridge Parkway On The Back Of A Motorcycle
Brianna Allen

One Monday morning rolled around, and I got a phone call asking me to come to the Virginia mountains to rekindle what little bit of a relationship I still had left with a love that ended abruptly months ago, and I said yes.

I had class but two of them had just been canceled, I had recently decreased my hours at work, and my life had actually been going pretty well lately so I decided to say yes to adventure and 30 minutes after my phone call, I was headed to the mountains.

I wasn't really sure what my goal was when I got in the car other than to get back the man that had frustrated me to no end just a few months ago. What I was planning to do or say when I got there I wasn't sure, but I just figured that it couldn't get any worse than when it ended with him the first time.

I got to the mountain and things were going well. I felt like things were really starting to look up and I realized that he might actually be serious about a future together when he looked at me and said, "I'm crazy about you and I will wait for you to be out of school and able to be with me".

Wow.

If you knew this guy, you would know that those words probably tasted a little like vinegar coming out of his mouth. Maybe he finally was serious about us and I couldn't wait to see what life could be like with him.

We had finally talked about all the relationship things. The future and us as a couple, where life could potentially take us and being together. We talked about what we were and where we stood and I finally felt so comforted after months of anxiousness.

When I left that Monday morning, I decided that I wasn't going to the mountain with a negative attitude and I continued to say yes to him for the next few days about what we were doing during the day, going to his friends' houses, and spending time with his family. Eventually, after 3 days with him, I found myself saying yes to being on the back of his motorcycle flying through the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I was trying so hard to take everything in and I realized as we flew around the Virginia mountains that I would be perfectly content with going through life with him. I was so happy with where I was at in life and I knew that if we were both ready for this to work that it was going to. As I looked across the ridgeline of the mountains and took in the breathtaking views, there was so much running through my mind. Out of all the thoughts engulfing my mind, the one thought I couldn't seem to shake was that I would be perfectly okay Chasing this guy for the rest of my life.

In other news, if anyone has any ideas as the what sort of 'documentation' I can bring my professor to get her to allow me to retake the test that I missed, it would be appreciated. My 'personal matter' could only be forgiven if I brought her documentation, whatever that means. Sorry, mom.

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.
