Drowning at one a.m.

Your smell still reeking all over me.

Memories fading in and out.

Our lives black and white, no gray to see.

Gasping for air in darkness with only the light of technology.

Not caring about the outcome, just wanting to be free.

Time keeps passing by, yet it's like you're still controlling me.

Even though you're with her, you keep doing little things.


No matter how high I get I see you in my dreams.

On replay in my head, your lips against mine.

We didn't know then but it would be our first and last time.

All I can do is sit here while my head and heart just screams.

You told me "Don't mess up this time".

If you only knew how I felt back then, maybe now, we could see eye to eye.


You told me to wait.

Its been over a year.

You made your choice, even made mine.

When goodbye was out the question.

You made it clear to see.

Both of you all over Insta, as clothes less as could be.


You tried to apologize for what you did in December.

Yet you have to swallow your pride.

I cant believe you still remember.

Left me there hanging with my heart on my sleeve.

Everyone says you're so unhappy.

I don't get it.

Making memories with her, while ours stay haunting me.


She doesn't make you as happy as you're forcing it to be.

And you don't love me as much as you tried to make it seem.

I refuse to keep waiting for you aimlessly.

I just don't get why you keep doing this to me.

I pray God brings someone in my life, who will finally let me breathe.

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.
