A College Student's Life As Told By The Gilmore Girls
Bustle
"If you're feeling frightened about what comes next, don't be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path toward happiness, don't waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; Because you'll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a deep breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart... where your hope lives. You'll find your way again."
- Rory Gilmore


1. When class gets cancelled

I check my e-mail every morning before getting out of bed with the hope that by some miracle class is cancelled. Although I am not a huge fan of the snow, having a snow day makes my love for snow becomes so much greater.

2. Going to class looking like a hobo

Doing laundry in a dorm is close to impossible. Way too often I go down to the laundry room and find that there are no open washers and then decide that looking nice is not a necessity.

3. When you realize you watch way too much Netflix

When preparing for college I was so ready to experience new things. I was told so many times that I would go to so many crazy parties. Although I have nights I'll never forget, they are usually spent with a few close friends in my pajamas by 8:00. But there's nothing wrong with that.

4. When it's 2 a.m. and you remember that paper you haven't started yet is due at 8 a.m.

We have all forgotten about an assignment when we got a text from a friend asking how long it is. Although we easily can get done and still get a decent grade, it's never fun doing all the cramming.

5. COFFEE



I'm personally not a big coffee person, but all of my friends constantly have coffee mugs. All day long.

6. When your class is on the other side of campus

We've all registered for classes then looked at our schedule on the first day of classes and realized that we have to walk to the other side of campus for a class that we don't actually care about. Whether or not that class is actually worth going to will be the greatest contemplation of the year.

7. Needing two designated naps per day

I don't know about you, but I have a designated time for napping every day. And have found myself so worn out that I am in my pajamas by 8:00 pm most nights. Sleep is Bae.

8. When people ask you what you want to do after college

I mean, some people know exactly what they're doing after they graduate and what it is that their degree going to be used for. Then there's some of us who have no idea what we're eating for dinner that night, much less what we want to do for the rest of our lives. If you are the second person mentioned, just remember that is normal and there is no reason that you should know what you're doing. Be spontaneous.

9. When your friends want to order takeout

Whether it's pizza, Chinese, or even a McDonald's run - as long as it isn't from the dining hall I am all over that.

10. Stage one of finals week

Showing up in public looking like a hobo is okay during finals week. Everybody understands the struggle.

11. Stage two of finals week

Once realizing that there is no way to soak up any more information, food is always the best stress relief.

12. When the professor asks if anybody actually read the chapter

We have all been in class when the professor is answering his/her own questions and decides to ask if anybody read the textbook. It's a little tiring worrying about what the professor thinks, so eventually I decide to just laugh about it all.

13. When you talk to a cute boy

Some girls can talk to boys without an issue. Then there's girls like me... who not only talk to boys but make a fool out of themselves when they do. Just remember, that embarrassing yourself in front of a cute boy is necessary event to go through during your college years.

14. When you find yourself in an awkward silence

Although Sooki isn't actually a Gilmore, she nails this one spot on. If you ever find yourself sitting next to someone in class that you don't know, there's always one thing to bring up that will break the awkward silence. So thank you Trump for being helpful in at least one way.

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.

1952
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.

Nature is beautiful (and so is math). The last one will blow your mind.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.
