The flowers are blooming, but your GPA is dying. Birds are chirping, but you're crying. Spring is in the air, but so are tests, due dates, assignments, and mental breakdowns.

I mean, yea, April is great and all, but for us, college kids it's basically torture. We can taste the sweet freedom of summer, but we still have 30 excruciatingly long days until May.

But you know what they say, "April Showers bring...mental breakdowns?" If you're one of those college students struggling to get through this month, don't worry, Jim Halpert knows exactly what you're going through.

1. When you realize it's April and you have a million due dates coming up.

2. When you have literally a million things to do and your friends ask if you're coming to t-shirt night.

3. When someone asked how you did on that big exam you were worried about.

I failed, but that's none of your business.

4. When your professors just keep adding more assignments on top of existing assignments.

5. Trying to stay awake after pulling your 3rd all-nighter in a row.

6. Laughing at all of your professor's corny jokes in hopes that he'll curve your final grade.

7. And then he doesn't.

So what am I supposed to do now?

8. When you think about changing your major to something that requires less work.

9. Then realizing that you're basically stuck at this point.

10. Anytime someone asks how school's going you're just like

...can we like not talk about this?

11. When it's 11:54 and you remember you have an assignment due at 11:59.

12. When you're trying to figure out how you're going to pick your grades up by the end of the month.

13. When that one kid who hasn't been to class all semester finally shows up and sits in your seat.

14. Realizing that maybe you're just not cut out for college.

*googles how to be a millionaire without a college degree*

14. When you sit down to take an exam and don't the answer to the first 25 questions.

15. When you're trying not to have a mental breakdown in public.

16. When you get the results back on an assignment you half-assed and they're actually not that bad.

17. When it REALLY hits you that you have just four weeks to save your GPA.

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.
