20 Reasons Your College Roommates Will Be Your Family Forever

Whether you lived together on campus, cramped into a dorm, or off campus in a spacious house (or tiny apartment because...you know, broke college students), you know that your roommates have become a huge part of your college life. You eat with them, bug them when you're bored, and ignore their dating advice... Here are 20 reasons why your college roommates will be your family forever:

1. They know too much

2. But seriously, they know more about you than anyone else

3. Boundaries don't exist anymore

4. Your late-night conversations keep you sane


5. They've seen you at your best



6. ...And your worst


7. They're your support group

8. They know your relationship history as well as their own


9. And have their own, honest (sometimes harsh) opinions about all of your exes

10. They'll never make you feel bad about finishing an entire pizza


11. In fact, they'll proudly stand with you so the Domino's driver doesn't think all that food is just for you


12. You have a running game of, "Wow, our kitchen is messy, let's clean tomorrow"


13. But you bond and blast music when those cleaning days eventually come

14. They suffer with you and cheer you on while you study


15. And they help you procrastinate


16. You're used to their crazy family


17. Their parents probably consider you family too by now


18. You watch all of your favorite shows together


19. Your random adventures and roadtrips are memories you'll have forever


20. You can't imagine the rest of your life without them

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.
