How To Maintain A Healthy Mind
Sandy Hounsell

A human being can do immeasurable things in ways that never cease to amaze me. The mind is the most incredible part of the human body. Everything we do is controlled by the mind. It is the most powerful component that runs our world and it has created everything that we have today. So, the next time you underestimate yourself, think about how amazing your mind is and you will never mistrust your capabilities again.

Surely, we cannot function without our minds. Therefore, we are to keep the stress off our minds as much as possible. How long can you hold on to a piece of weight for in one hand without moving your hand? For minutes? For hours? For a day? It does not matter how long you hold on to it for. The point here is that you can’t hold on to it forever because eventually your hand will start to shake and you will let the weight go. Same thing with the stress: The more you hold on to it the more miserable you will feel. We can’t hold on to it forever. The sooner we let go of the stress the more relaxed the mind will be and you will readily move on with life.

Another great feature the mind has is that it leads us to know the truth. The mind is a guide for us and it usually reveals the truth to us, making us aware of what’s going on around us. The mind should not be ignored. Feed it with knowledge and wisdom and if you are a religious person, from any religion, you know better to always ask God to brighten your mind and your soul. Control your thoughts in a way where everything corrupt will seem restored. Don’t let there be a negative thought and when there is a negative thought turn to God and ask him to show you the right way and pray about it because no matter what religion you come from, they all want us to do the right things.

Also, to have a set mind one should avoid contacting with the worldly corruptions. With the media and the internet, it is so easy to engage our minds in dishonored activities. For example, you can watch anything from violence to sexual content on the internet any time of the day. Such views create distractions in the mind, leading it to wanting to engage in such actions. Your mind and your soul deserve to be protected. Don’t let the devil in and avoid watching anything that may have a negative impact on you.

So, when you ever feel lost remember how unique your mind is and keep your mind awake and healthy. Be gentle to your mind and keep away any kind of distractions from it. Have a positive thinking, enjoy life and everything in it. Enhancing your mind with wisdom and good choices will not only decrease the stress but it will also make you realize that you deserve the world and to live this life with a peace of mind.

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.
