Preparing for Graduation, As Told by 'Shameless'
NBC

For all of my fellow soon-to-be graduates, you know the struggle of having to consider what comes next in your life. Here are the stages leading up to that dreaded yet exciting day.

1. "Is it March already?"

Time flies when you're having fun...and by fun I mean stressing over thesis and midterms.


2. "Should I start looking for a job?"

The choice is yours, but at least this way you can have more time to get used to rejection emails.


3. "What if I don't actually graduate?"

Where there's a will there is a way...although that will is hard to find.


4. "How am I going to keep in touch with all my friends?"

Frank may not have friends, but you do and all you have to do is set aside time to make visits and keep in touch.


5. "I JUST WANT TO SLEEP."

Living your best life sure is tiring.


6. "I JUST WANT TO PARTY."

Sometimes you just need a night out with your friends to remember how amazing college really is.


7. "I better make the most of these next two months."

Now is the time to make as many memories as possible and take advantage of every opportunity.


8. "Where the hell am I going to live?"

These are the types of questions that will keep you up at night.


9. "How do I do adult things?"

I don't know how to do taxes or apply for an apartment, but I do have an overpriced textbook on philosophy that I looked at once.


10. "I'm not ready for this at all."

If Sheila can leave the house, you will find a way to make it through.


11. "Alright, I can do this."

You've had four years to prepare for this, you're ready!


12. "I'm out."


Graduation is coming, whether you want it to or not.

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.
