College Life: As Portrayed by Nick Miller

Let's be real, college is hard. It's like a roller coaster with all of its ups and downs. And sometimes you will find yourself channeling a certain lazy, unmotivated bartender that we all know and love. Nick Miller is the embodiment of a struggling college student, and he will always understand your struggles because hey, he doesn't have his life together yet either.

When you try and justify why you skipped out on proof reading that lit. paper.

When you're missing home-cooked meals but have no choice but to eat whatever the café is serving.

Just gotta make it 'til spring break, right? No matter how much you may love chicken and pizza, having it every day for seven plus weeks will make you crave for mom's home-cooked meals.

When you are asked about your plans for the future, how your GPA is, or how school is going.

Finding yourself with a boat-load of work to do but Netflix is just calling your name.

Realizing that you have three exams, two presentations and four papers all due within days of each other and you haven’t started any of them.

Trying to explain to your parents why your grades are what they are.

C’s get degrees right, ma?

When the stress finally gets to you and you have a (weekly) mental breakdown.

and... it can get pretty ugly.

like...really ugly.

Sales, discounts, and thrift shops are your best friend because a college student has got to look good while “ballin’ on a budget.

When mom tries to give you a pep-talk.

Versus when you give yourself a pep-talk.


When you feel that you finally understand Philosophy.


Having that one outfit that just makes you feel good.

When you go to your first college party and don't know how to act.

...but it turns out to be pretty fun.

When you're approached by a boy who just doesn't take the hint.

When someone asks how you're staying in shape:

When you have to actually "adult" and make doctors appointments because your parents refuse to do it.

When you keep putting off doing your laundry.

Because honestly, who has time for that? At leas,t we're being resourceful, am I right?

Overall, although college may have its ups and downs, there's nothing you would change about it. So keep on doing you, and embrace your inner Nick Miller.

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.
