My First Semester Of College

Short Answer: I died....multiple times

My First Semester Of College
AL

This semester has been a WONDERFUL semester and a phenomenal way to start off my college career. I am so grateful to say that I am going to my number one choice university and regret nothing. I have learned so much and had so much fun these past four months it is unbelievable.

I have actually been really lucky this semester by having a majority of phenomenal teachers who truly care about me and my success, so the classroom wasn’t too much of an issue (excluding the occasional 5-page paper, in which I literally died). I truly feel like I came here for education and got even more than that. I did well in my classes (as usual), but I feel everything I have learned in these classes I can take with me for the rest of my life.

The one thing about college is that it is truly is a fresh start, and you will have to make new friends and adjust to a new life. If you’re reading this, about to start college soon, don’t stress over becoming best friends with someone one week and then the next they’re gone. That’s just how it goes, but as time goes by you will slowly collect friends who will stay with you until the end and that’s all you truly need.

Now let’s talk about EXAMS. I am sorry to say this, but exams will kill you and that's okay. Once you finish, the university revives you free of charge! I was stressed out mostly because my exams were essays I had to turn in and I literally have the worst luck when it comes to timing. All my friends want to hit me up when I am working, not when I am free. Plus, I am the worst procrastinator ever so all-nighters were used.

All in all, it was a really good semester and I am truly grateful for being able to be here (just pray I passed all these exams). Let’s hope next semester goes just as well.

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.
