If Mark Twain was a Frat Star...

If Mark Twain was a Frat Star...

Some famous authors lived more promiscuous lives than others. But, whether they were frat stars or not in their real life, I like to imagine them as frat stars now. First up is Mark Twain:

Mark Twain: "To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence."
Frat Star Mark Twain: "To succeed in school, you need two things: bros and beer."

MT: "In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours."
FSMT: "In the Spring, I have counted 136 different sorority girls in bikinis inside of 24 hours."

MT: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
FSMT: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, blackball for fun."

MT: "The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
FSMT: "The best way to cheer yourself up is to grab a beer with somebody else."

MT: "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."
FSMT: "Good bros, good beer and a party every day: this is the ideal life."

MT: "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times."
FSMT: *no revision needed*

MT: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."
FSMT: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were an independent; but I repeat myself"

MT: "Never argue with a stupid person, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."
FSMT: "Never befriend an independent, they will bring you down to their level and make you wear cargo shorts."

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.
