Trust Me, Change Is Inevitable

Websters Dictionary defines change as "to make different in some particular." Change is inevitable and there's nothing you can do to change it...see what I did there? Sometimes you find yourself at a crossroad. Change is inevitable and those who try to avoid it or change it tend to end up facing it head on. Change is hard because as humans we are wired to do the same thing over and over again and when a new thing happens we try to change the course of things.

Recently I've had a few changes in my life and they've all been for the better. I am a 20 year old college junior. Entering college I thought I knew what I wanted to study, it was criminal justice, after all i spent countless of hours watching NCIS, Law and Order, and of course CSI. My freshman year of college, I knew I wanted to go into this field, but there was always that voice in the back of my mind telling me to expand my options. After sitting through my friends lectures and my lectures it dawned on me that I wasn't doing what I loved, so what did any self respecting college student do? I changed my major, and I loved it. I found something that I was interested in and was actualy good at and enjoyed doing more than life itself.

I fell in love with photography...again. Throughout High School I always had my camera with me, I was determined to capture the beauty that surrounded me. I learned my strengths and weaknesses, I learned to take those challenges that come with my hobby and met them head on. Two years later after giving up my hobby to focus on college I found a new drive. I now find myself reaching for my camera to capture the beauty around me, despite my belief of living ini the moment I can't help myself but trying to find a way to capture those little moments.

Along with changes that happened, I'd like to make other changes personally.

I need to live in the now and worrying less about the future. The present moment is the only moment I have control over so why not let that be what I am most focused on. Plans don't often go as you wish. I've learned this time and time again.

Change is good, it pushes you out of your comfort zone, you get to experience more, you get to grow as an individual , and most importantly you get to have fun. So don't let change scare you, embrace it, grab it by the horns and just go along with the journey.

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:

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.
