PSA: Always Hold The Door

Why is Hodor not an internet sensation?

PSA: Always Hold The Door
cinemablend

For me, every Sunday night consists of two things. One: ice cream, because obviously Sunday is ice cream day. And two: "Game of Thrones." If I, for some horrific reason, get bitten by a shark, attacked by the mafia, get struck by a subway train or have some other horrible accident and am forced to miss my Sunday night GOT ritual, I unintentionally hear all about what I missed. I cannot go a single Monday without hearing the spoilers all about the episode I had missed. This obviously ruins everything!

Two weeks ago, after the Hodor episode, I thought social media would be filled with "hold the door" GIFS, tweets, and pictures. But I was extremely disappointed. I'm not sure whether or not people were so upset about the ending of that episode to poke fun at the hilarious yet saddening ending. When coming to work the next day I did not hear one comment about Hodor's courageous attempt to protect Bran. I felt as though this pivotal point in this season of GOT was underestimated.

Personally, my sister and I cannot get enough of this "hold the door" moment. Every time we leave the room, close the door, walk out of a restaurant, or do anything remotely involving a door one of us obnoxiously bellows, "Hold the door!" After laughing at ourselves for 10 minutes each time we finally realized what exactly social media is lacking. Working at Odyssey, I read hundreds of articles each week, and did not read a single one about Hodor.

It was after this realization that I decided that everyone needs some more Hodor in their lives.

Every "Game of Thrones fans" feeling toward doors.

So my question is, why hasn't "Hold the door," become a national phenomenon? I'm waiting to see the neverending Tumblr, Insta, and Twitter memes. Come on, people!

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.
