Why Every Freshman Should Watch Monster's University
The Edinburgh Reporter

If you've ever watched TV, I can almost guarantee you've stumbled upon Monsters Inc. It's a tale of two monsters, Mike and Sully, who work together as professional scarers. Not only are the coworkers, but they are friends and roommates. But have you ever wondered what happened before they were hired at Monsters Incorporated and became the top scarers? Well, your answer lies in the sequel, Monsters University, which hit the theaters in 2013.

Not only does this movie show an adorable baby Mike, but it also gives a back story to a great friendship and shows the hardship that both Mike and Sully had to go through during their University years.

I think this is an important movie for incoming college freshmen to watch, simply because it shoves the reality of college life in your face in a way that is easy to relate to. The first time I watched it was shortly after I moved in during my freshman year. Not only was it cute af but it also, as crazy as it sounds, was really informative. Almost everything that was shown in the movie was something similar to what I had ended up actually experiencing my freshman year of college.

1. Like the look you have when you arrive on campus

all bright eyed and bushy tailed.

2. When you meet your roommate for the first time

always too awkward.

3. After you get comfortable with said roommate

things aren't as awkward as they were before.

4. You'll make a million friends during the first three days

5. You'll also begin learning about the questionable pasts of some of those friends.

judgement free zone, amiright?

6. The terrible fear of being late the first day

It's even worse when you have no idea where you're going.

7. You'll be staying up later than ever before

enjoy that excitement while it lasts...

8. ..because soon you'll be falling asleep like this

9. You'll try to keep a cool demeanor

poker face for days.

10. But in reality...

and that's totally normal. Being away from home is something new to everyone.

11. Not everyone is going to be nice to you.

12. Even your friends will be crappy sometimes

13. But there are endless opportunities to make new friends

14. and every campus has so many different clubs to participate in

15. There will still be cliques

16. There will always be bullies


17. Even if they're older, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself.

18. And when the year winds to a close, make sure you show your appreciation to the friends who stuck around.


You're going to do great everyone.

First year jitters are normal, don't be ashamed of them. Just have fun, work hard, and make the most of it because once it's over, it's over.

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.
