College has been such an amazing experience for me so far. I have met so many awesome people and have experienced so many amazing things! I know this is only the beginning and there's a lot more to come , but it's great to see how good things are turning out for my first semester of college. I remember hearing about how awful college homework was and how awesome the experiences are in high school. I can confidently say that college is what you make it and I'm enjoying every moment of it! Here are 5 reasons why I love college!

#1: Classes


College is very different from high school based on classes. In high school all of my classes were pretty much scheduled for me. I didn't have a say in what day or time each class was. College has allowed me to arrange my classes in a way that suits me best!

#2: Freedom

College allows young adults to have freedom. Of course, what you do with that freedom is up to you! I'm using my freedom to find myself more and see how I can handle adulting on my own. So far so good , but I still have a lot to learn!

#3: Networking


Networking is huge in college! So many people coming from all over in one place is perfect for meeting new people and establishing relationships. I have been able to do this by getting involved on campus and going to various campus events! You never know who you'll meet in college , so it's always good to get your face known for the future.

#4: Living on campus


I have loved living on campus every since I moved into my dorm! Living on campus has allowed me to get to know my campus better and feel more comfortable. I also feel like it's a lot easier to live on campus than commute. I can literally hop out of bed and walk to class! I also love how easy it is to get to fast food ( more specifically chick fil a)!

#5: Experiences

As we all know, college is full of experiences. Some life changing and others not so much, but I know that I would never have had some of the experiences that I've had if I had not decided to go to college! Seeing people from all different backgrounds has made me more aware of how different everyones life is. I'm learning something new everyday and everything that I learn makes an impact on my life and personal knowledge. I will never regret my decision to go to college!

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.
