How to be the best you.

You Won't Find Yourself In A Number Of Likes
Adriana Gil

In today's society, we are all caught up in trying to fit in and making sure people think about us a certain way. We want to catch people's attention and we want people to know about us and our every move. We are losing human interaction and becoming consumed by the media. Most people are so caught up on how many likes they are getting or who to hang out with for the clout, that they become nothing of themselves and just more of the same.

Screw the clout. Some of the most amazing people I've ever met, I've met while being myself. I didn't have to act a certain way or dress a certain way to "fit" in. We all just "fit" together without having to try. We didn't expect anything out of each other or ask for changes, we just accepted the people we were. Just being yourself is the best way to be, because you're not faking it. Faking it takes away from who you are, slowly consuming you into something you're not. When you become less of yourself and more of the same of what's around you, you begin to lose your worth. You lose the uniqueness you could be showing the world. You're depriving the world of something new and beautiful. You're dimming your own light for the pleasure of others.

If you are the purest version of yourself there can be, then you'll find genuine people to compliment your life all while being yourself. You find happiness inside yourself and you conform the world around you instead of conforming to it.

Be yourself. Be the version of you you've always wanted to be. Attract the vibes that are best for you, instead of pretending to be something you're not, for vibes that don't satisfy you. Don't worry about what others think or how many likes you're getting. As long as you are being you, you will find sufficient love inside of yourself and all around you.

So set aside the time to find yourself, and stop trying to find someone else to be. Be you.

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.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. 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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
