Last week, I was flipping through TV channels when I came across a few reruns of my all-time favorite show: "Avatar: The Last Airbender." And recently, Netflix announced they would be creating a live-action Avatar series. While I'm still traumatized by the horrific live-action movie that was created years back, I'm still ready to give Netflix a chance.

No show could possible replace "Avatar" as my most favorite show ever. Even as a 17-year old, I still love the show all the same. I laugh at all the same scenes that I used to laugh at when I was a child. I cry at all the same scenes that I used to cry at when I was a child. The show taught me so many life-lessons, and at times, I felt as if I too were going on all the adventures the gang encountered.

Words can't describe how much Avatar meant to me during my childhood. Every week, I would gleefully hop on my sofa, excited for the new episode to premiere. For three long years, I shipped Katara and Aang, preached Toph's no-BS policy and teared up at Sokka's never-ending boughs of humor. We can never forget the beautiful love-hate friendship between Momo and Appa.

Even infinity isn't nearly enough to cover every amazingly heartbreaking and every funny aspect of this beautiful show, but I brought it down to 13 moments from the show we should never forget.

1. This poor man's cabbages

2. Sokka high on cactus juice

3. When Aang decides to be a normal kid and go to school — in the fire nation...

4. Toph made a better Fire (sorry — Melon) Lord than Ozai.

5. Katara showed us that we don't have to forgive or forget to face our past.

6. That day Iroh taught us that it's okay to not be okay.

7. Sokka and his one-man army

8. Aang's magic trying to get the trio out of bad situations.

9. "Go to your room." (If you didn't read that in Sokka's voice, you're not a true fan.)

10. When Aang revealed that killing is not always the answer.

11. The time Sokka was expecting.... someone else.

12. That one time Appa started talking (because Aang was too sleep deprived).

13. The moment that ended the Fire Nation's 100 years worth of tyranny and fear — forever.

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:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

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.

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
