College. As Told By Kimmy Schmidt

Any person who watches Netflix has inevitably heard of or come across the Netflix produced "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." Maybe it is Kimmy's constant can-do attitude or the constant stereotypes the characters are playing and hilariously exaggerating. But I have come to realize that Kimmy Schmidt is the college student in all of us.

1. Walking into the first day of class as a freshman like.

(Or in my case, tipping up the concrete stairs first.)

2. Realizing that you can live on your own and eat and do whatever you want.


3. When your roommate is gone for the night and you just kind of dance around the room singing and dancing in some unfortunate clothing because you know that no one can possibly walk in on you being totally embarrassing.


4. Being an education major and realizing that you should maybe start watching your language because pretty soon there will be 30 impressionable little ones studying your every move.


5. Walking into an exam after you just gave yourself a pep-talk and listened to your pump-up jam.


6. When someone comes at you with something other than good vibes.


7. When you had a really hard day and someone offers you chocolate.


8. Coming home for the weekend and eating so much good (and real) food.


9. The "I am listening to you and will rip this guy's arm off if he touches you again face" as you hold in your anger while consoling your friend.


10. Realizing that you know absolutely nothing about guys.


11. Seeing fries in the dining room and resisting the urge to eat them because you have had them 27 days in a row and realize that the freshman 15 is becoming a reality.


12. Mood swings.


13. Driving to school at the end of the summer and realizing you get to see your favorite people in a matter of hours.


14. When you hangout with your guy friends and try to act like one of the dudes and keep up with them.


15. When all the syllabi come at you.


16. This paper is due when?

17. Sitting in a class where you are totally in over your head and just go along with everyone because they all know exactly what is going on.


18. During sorority recruitment just trying to give a kind compliment and make small talk and end up offending the president.

19. Making sure people know this because college is fudging hard.


20. When everything in your room goes from being perfect to messy.


21. Your peer advisors during your freshman year.


22. Posing with your best friend during a fun night out because you are looking fab and your make-up is #onfleek.

23. Being the only one in a good mood (or not hungover) in your friend group and just trying to lighten the mood.


24. Driving to Walmart alone in the car and jamming so hard because it is the first alone time you have had in a week.


25. Waking up to a mess of clothes, make-up, and snacks on every inch of your room on a Sunday morning and realizing you have done none of your homework and now have to clean your room as well.

26. Realizing coffee exists.

27. Hearing that your partner will be assigned for a project.

28. Meeting your professor on the first day and hearing all of his/her accomplishments and suddenly having deep respect and no words.

29. And the best possible advice, on so many levels.

As the fall nears close, and move-in is just days away, we can get excited for another year having the time of our lives. Happy beginning of the semester to all! And if you get down, just watch some "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and your mood will drastically improve.

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.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

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.
