A Letter To The Person Who Doesn't See Potential In Me

I know at the end of the day I am strong, courageous, brave, smart, loving, trustworthy, and honest. I will never become who you have become, I am stronger.

A Letter To The Person Who Doesn't See Potential In Me

No matter how hard I have tried to show you I can accomplish any task you set before me you find faults in what I am doing. You chose to critique my every move. You hardly ever give me a compliment for helping you or completing what you would like me to do. This has been extremely difficult. I try and try day in and day out to think of ways the please you. It is honestly the most exhausting thing I have been through in a while. I am unsure how much more effort I can give towards trying to figure out a way to make you happy.

So I am done being the ginny pig for your critiquing, narcissistic comments. I am not going to put forth any more effort towards being who you want me to be. I am going to be who I want to be. I refuse to give you any more satisfaction. I will not react to your comments. I will not spend countless hours replaying and trying to be a different person. I refuse to do this. I deserve better. Whatever relationship you call this will remain the same unless you are able to notice in yourself what you are doing. Which I will not hold my breath for because there is no way you will be able to look past your own thoughts to empathize with mine.

Regardless of who you think I am. I know at the end of the day I am strong, courageous, brave, smart, loving, trustworthy, and honest. I will never become who you have become, I am stronger. I refuse to put people down and make them squirm. Life is more than your opinion and criticism. I hope one day you will be able to see the potential in me that a lot of others do. Until then I truly wish you the very best.

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.
