Forget Baby Fever, I Have Buying A House And Decorating It Fever

I will live in a fairytale house.

Forget Baby Fever, I Have Buying A House And Decorating It Fever
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottstown,_Pennsylvania#/media/File:CoventryHouse_PA.jpg

Now that I am older and approaching that time where I will soon be moving out of my parents' house, I have started thinking about what kind of house I want to live in and how I want to decorate it.

I am excited to start this next chapter in my life by moving in with my boyfriend. We probably won't live in a house first, but I'm still excited to move to a place that we can call ours. After watching hours and hours of HGTV shows like Fixer Upper and House Hunters, all I want to do is remodel and decorate!

My perfect house would be something with lots of character, that's private and has a decent size yard. I would love a white kitchen with a farmhouse sink that's also open to the living room. At least 3 bedrooms. I'm definitely going to need a walk in closet. A room dedicated to gaming and other nerdy things and maybe even a little library. I love French doors and archways too. I want something that has a cottage feel to it or like it's out of a fairytale. Oh, and there has to be shiplap! I love shiplap.

Don't get me wrong, babies are cute. They are our future and I hope to have a family someday. But I'm more looking forward to buying a house and moving in with the love of my life. A baby will come much later after that anyway. Children are a lot of work and obviously a huge responsibility. Raising a child to become a decent human being is a hard task. I have too much anxiety and worry over raising a kid, that it kind of makes them less cute.

It's pretty funny how my reaction to babies is much different than others people's reactions. I'd say that people's level of excitement when seeing a baby is the same as when I see a dog. So I guess this means I should just have puppy children. And they will help me decorate my future home.

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.
