Babysitting can be very tiring at times, but it's always a job filled with fun no matter what! Who wouldn't want a day full of endless hours of cartoons and unlimited fruit snacks? No one could possibly turn that down.

1. You get to watch cartoons and Disney movies.

It honestly can't get any better than watching Disney Channel all day with no one there to judge you.

2. You get to play with most of your favorite childhood toys.

I will never say no to playing with Barbies or American Girl Dolls.

3. You get to play with babies.

What is better than playing with cute babies all day?

4. It doesn't feel like a job...most times.

Except when there is a poopy diaper or a baby that won’t stop crying.

5. If they have pets then you get to play with them too!

There’s nothing more exciting than finding out the family has cats or dogs.

6. Hours of filling coloring books.

And then you will probably end up getting the kids drawings as a gift from them.

7. The money you make isn’t taxed.

One of the only legal jobs you get to keep all of the money you earned.

8. You become friends with the kids you’re babysitting.

After spending so much time with the kids you babysit, you become friends and get to watch them grow. It's a really cool experience.

9. You get to make food you usually don’t at home.

My favorite is character themed Mac 'n' Cheese! For some reason, it tastes better than the normal noodles.

If none of these very influential reasons convinced you babysitting is one of the best jobs, I don't know what will.

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.
