Never Let Your Fear Determine What You Do

We are all familiar with the quote from A Cinderella Story, "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." If you are not familiar with that quote you need to watch A Cinderella Story ASAP! In the movie, the quote gives the main character, aka Cinderella, the courage to stand up against the people who are knocking her down. The quote plays a key role in two very important scenes the movie; both of those scenes are motivating and can motivate the smallest person to fight the biggest giant.

In all reality, the quote says some powerful things and speaks volumes. If you allow the fear of striking out to keep you from playing the game, you will never accomplish the things you set your mind to and you will always be held back. You must keep going and you must never quit; when you quit you are allowing the fear to determine what you are and are not capable of. You are capable of more than your fear says you are. You are capable of the world, but your fear will only ever allow you to be capable of the city. Your capabilities far exceed your imagination, but you will never know that as long as your fear is determining it for you.

Fear is everyone's biggest struggle and stops many people from doing anything because it is such a strong thing. Fear will hold people back as long as they give it the upper hand and give it that advantage. Fear deserves nothing of you because you deserve to accomplish your biggest dreams and your biggest achievements. Never let the fear of not being good enough, of failing, of messing up, or of not doing the best keep you from trying and pushing forward. You can do what you think you cannot because you are capable of more than you know. Give yourself the opportunity to prove your fears wrong and do what you are telling yourself you cannot.

beer on the beach

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.

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.
