Yes, I'm Still In College, But That Hasn't Stopped Me From Planning Out My Dream House

Everyone wants to live in a nice home with the design and features they like. I am going to share my dream house and what I would like to have it look like. Ever since as a child I always dreamed of having my house in a nice neighborhood where everyone gets along.

I live in an area where it is not recommended to be close to your neighbors because they are not the best crowd to hang out with. I want to be able to knock on their door and ask for a favor without feeling awkward.

Now since we talked about the neighborhood, we can talk about the driveway. I want a nice clean driveway that's paved well. When my family or friends come by to visit, I want them to see a big available parking lot waiting for them. I know attending family barbecues can be a hassle when you have to park all the way down the street and then walk back up it again.

I don't want that, I want my visitors to feel welcomed by having an available space for them them to park and not worry about tickets. There's nothing worse than driving up to your friend's house to have a great time and only to get a ticket. Getting a fine to go see your friend isn't always the best!

Now as for the actual home, I want it to have a master bedroom, two or three small rooms for my future children, a living room, and a place downstairs where my family can relax. I want to have a game room, so to speak, where people children can play and a nice backyard where the adults can relax and drink.

I enjoy having family barbecues, especially during the summer when there is grilled food and a nice view of the outdoors. Nothing can't beat that and have music blasting so everyone can hear it.

I have always admired brick houses, it is a classic design that can never go out of fashion. I want mine to be gray with a white border and a black or dark blue roof. I want to have nice lightning with some beautiful chandeliers to add elegancy.

Lastly, I want this house to be passed down from one generation to another, so I want to build a secret stair case that will lead up to a nice view or balcony. I want the secret stair case to be decorated with quotes or woodcarvings from my family. In the balcony I want there to be a bookcase full of good reads and a small built-in speaker to play some classical or soothing music.

This is my dream house, I would like to know what your dream house features are, so feel free to comment below if you have any ideas! Achieving things like your dream house can be attainable if you put your mind to it. Best of luck and happy summer!

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.
