To The Lady Who Paid For My Meal

Good people do still exist.

To The Lady Who Paid For My Meal

Dear lady who paid for my meal.

I ran through the drive through the other day in a rush to get to work. I pulled up to the window and ordered the cheapest thing I could possibly find. I started to scrounge through change in my coin cup as I pulled to the first window. As I sorted through my dimes and nickels I looked up at the lady working the cash register. She handed me a receipt, and said “The lady in front of you paid for your meal sweetie, and she told me to tell you to have a blessed day”. I looked at her in disbelief as I took my receipt and pulled to the second window. When I got my food, I pulled over in a parking space and just started crying. I was having such a bad morning and I was just trying to make it until pay day. It was in the moment that I realized that good people still exist. In a world, full of negativity some one cared enough to bless a complete and total stranger with a meal. I was so overwhelmed with emotions. I needed that. Not so much the paying for my meal part, but the random act of kindness part. Every day it seems that I deal with people who get more and more rude second by second, and no matter my efforts I seem to get the short end of the stick. It’s nice to know that good people still exist. To the lady who paid for my meal, thank you. I needed it more than you know.

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.
