Here are some of the most relatable and common firsts of freshman year:

1. Leaving home.

This probably one of the hardest. Leaving your hometown, family, friends, and familiarities is a lot harder than what you expect even if you are ready to leave.

2. Cleaning your dorm room.


When you first arrive at college, you must clean and decorate your dorm room to make it feel like home. After that, it is probably a good idea to clean it to keep bugs out.

3. Saying goodbye to your family.


If you think saying goodbye to your home is hard, just wait til you say goodbye to your family at college. Watching them leave the dorm is one of the hardest things about going to college in my opinion.

4. Making your first friends at college.


Get ready to meet a lot of new people and make some awesome friends.

5. Going out for the first time.

Make sure you go out with people you know especially for the first time. And just have fun!

6. First day of classes.


Just try your best to not look like a freshman.

7. First football game.


Make sure to tailgate too!

8. First exam.


Even if you study for days, looking at your grade is going to be like getting hit by a bus.

9. Rush.


Despite all the sweat, makeup, and tears, be ready to find your home for the next four years.

10. Getting tired of the dorm food.


This will probably happen after a week or two.

10. No caption needed.


11. First Frat Party.


This will probably be terrifying at first but after you will know exactly what to expect for the next.

12. Going home for the first time and seeing all you friends.


This is amazing.

13. Spring break.


14. Going home for summer after freshman year.


After being away at college for months, it has become a second home. Leaving your new friends is going to be hard, but luckily sophomore year is only a few months away!

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:

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.
