What to get those who go unnoticed in your life this holiday season

Holiday Gift Guide: College Edition

Procrastinating studying for finals is hard when Shondaland has shut down for its winter hiatus, your friends are actually studying, you’ve stalked yourself on Facebook back to the dark ages of middle school too many times to stomach, and you’ve already read every article that has appeared in your news feed (i.e. this one).

As you're taking your textbook out of its wrapping, it dons on you that you need to buy holiday presents! Put that book down and head to the World Wide Web of online shopping. You probably already know what to get your immediate family members (unconditional love because it’s the only thing you can afford right now), but what about the others? Here are some suggestions of what to get those who often go unnoticed this holiday season.

The professor that’s failing you: the flu or whatever illness that you got from pulling an all nighter studying for their exam

The professor that just all around sucks: a prostitute because they probably just really need to get laid.


The one who never called you back: a prepaid cell phone


The One Night Stand: regift the sweatshirt and sweatpants you stole for that walk of shame home.

The RA that wrote you up for smoking weed: a gram of weed

The person you’ve cheated off of on every test: a CPR kit because they literally resuscitated your GPA

Your shitty roommate: a makeshift wall. Something passive aggressive to let them know you regret deciding to live with them because the deafening silence isn’t enough.


The friend that always hosts the pregames: a new couch, table, chairs, speakers, carpeting, food, apartment because it’s literally all ruined and permanently smells like alcohol or vomit.


The 2 a.m. Dominos delivery guy: a hug for being the only one to satisfy your needs when all hope is lost by the end of the night.


The one you’ve been consistently hooking up with, sometimes text, and you’re unsure of where this is going: an empty box as a precursor because, let’s be real, they’re probably gonna be ghosted during winter break. Or a set of handcuffs in lieu of cuffing season. Who knows, young love is an enigma.


The friend that won’t stop talking about their new relationship: a muzzle


The friend who claims to be single by choice: a reality check


Yourself: nothing less than the best because you deserve it.

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.

However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
