I want to let you in but I don’t know how.

How do you let someone in when you’ve been hurt by the one person you expected to be by your side forever? The trust, love, and efforts I made I can never get back. I gave you a piece of myself that I can never get back.

For a while, I was lost.

I had no idea who I was without him. I realized that by trying to keep him, I've lost myself in the process.

But somehow you gave me the reason to try to love again. You make me feel things I don’t want to feel. You make me smile and laugh like no other. It’s annoying but that’s one of the many qualities I adore about you.

The thing about love is that you always have to be willing to take a risk. There’s no way of telling if that person will end up breaking your heart. It’s always a gamble. But when you love someone, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. The secret to a long-lasting relationship is building a firm foundation that's built on loyalty, trust, and honesty. If one of these three components aren’t visible, then you’re relationship never stood a chance, to begin with. In every relationship, there are its fair shares of highs and lows. It takes two string individuals, to stay during the low points because it's easier to leave when things get a little hard.

One day, we will be a family of four in a big white house just beside the oceanside. A wonderful view, indeed. Who would have ever thought that this would be possible?

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.
