Sleeping In As A College Student

Tomorrow I get to sleep in. Yes, I said it- sleep in.

Sleeping In As A College Student
Kinga Cichewicz

I haven't been able to say this in a really, really long time. There is always something that gets in the way of Saturday's and Sunday's being the days I sleep in—as this has not happened in a really long time.

At the beginning of this week, I could see that my exhaustion was on full blast and knew I needed something to get me through another week of little sleep and a lot of homework. Due to this, on Monday I told myself that I would put all of my energy into accomplishing most of the things I needed to prior to Sunday. I knew that if I accomplished most of my important assignments like my fashion projects, I would feel good enough to sleep in on Sunday and spend the rest of the day doing the simpler assignments.

This was a brilliant plan (although, my exhausted self that had to over-compensate during the week in order to have one day to sleep in on the weekend wouldn't think so). I accomplished all of my fashion assignments that are due on Monday so all I have to work on tomorrow are a few brand posts and figuring out my outfits for New York Bridal Fashion Week which I'll be leaving for on Wednesday. Fabulous.

As a college student, I have grasped a much greater appreciation for days when I am able to actually sleep in. You can probably tell that these days do not occur very often, and I am very appreciative whenever I have them. In high school, I still valued them a lot, but I have found myself seeing less and less of them as the weeks go by in college. My schedule has somehow tripled, and my sleep schedule has done the opposite.

If you are a college student who is reading this, map out your week and try to allow yourself to sleep in on the weekend sometime. And if not on the weekend, try a day when you do not have a morning class (if you have a day without a morning class). Cheers to sleep!

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.
