Dear Starkville, Please Bring Back Lime Scooters.

If you aren't sure what Lime Scooters are, I'm sorry.

If you aren't sure what Lime Scooters are, they are scooters that you can pay to ride through an app. And when Starkville, MS got them at the beginning of this year, they brought my friends and I pure joy. For me, I enjoyed them so much because they reminded me so much of Razor scooters from the mid 2000s.

Lime Bikes and Scooters were operated by batteries that were charged, causing minimal effort to ride them. Another thing about the bikes and scooters is that you could locate them using the app, and the first ride was FREE!! I'm not sure about everyone else, but i'm on a college budget, so "Free" is my favorite word.

Before Lime Scooters, there were Lime Bikes on the MSU campus. These bikes were very useful if you lived on campus because you could get to your class faster. Almost every day, I would see a Lime bike in a tree, on top of a building, or even inside a building. However, the Lime Scooters were not allowed on campus, only Lime Bikes. And eventually, I started realizing that the bikes as well as the scooters started disappearing.

Even though Riding Lime Scooters in downtown Starkville made me fall off a couple of times, it was still a really fun thing to do after class with your friends to pass time. Not only did it remind me of riding my childhood pink Barbie Razor Scooter, it almost hurt as bad falling off of it.

Even though i'm not certain on why the Lime Scooters and Bikes were taken away, i'm sure it had something to do with the fact that bikes were always getting tied to trees and being put on top of buildings. Because Lime Scooters started showing up on campus even though they weren't supposed to be, this is probably another reason why both the bikes and scooters were taken away.

Starkville, I apologize that bikes were continuously put in trees, but I for one would love to have Lime Scooters as well as bikes returned to us.

Sincerely,

The Students of Mississippi State University

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.
