12 Signs That You May Be A Workaholic College Student

Let's be honest, nobody loves money more than a college student! The idea of never being broke, which is a college student stigma, makes you cringe. The more money you have, the better life is, am I right?

But those who work for long hours of the day almost EVERY day may be labeled as workaholics. Balancing a social life, schoolwork and work can be overwhelming, but it's worth it when your paycheck comes in biweekly. Here are some signs that you may be working a lot:

1. You're barely home or in your dorm.

You leave home in the morning and don't come back until late at night. The cycle basically repeats. The only time you're not at work is pretty much your lunch break.

2. Your coworkers start to become your friends.

You know it's real when you see them more than your actual college friends. I guarantee you will hang with at least ONE coworker outside of work.

3. You consume nothing but energy bars and drinks.

Who has time for cooking anymore? The dishes will be in the sink all day then!

4. There's no such thing as a "day off."

And no, Sundays don't count sis...

5. When people get excited that it's Friday...but you work weekends.

I'm sure you've secretly said "Must be nice" under your breath like 50 times…but then again, your paycheck is going to be nice!

6. Payday is the only day you look forward to.

The only day I'm a morning person besides my birthday and December 25.

7. You're always waking up early, to the point where you don't need an alarm.

To be honest, I still use the alarm because sometimes, I'm extremely tired and I don't want to wake up.

8. Always having to tell your friends that you're busy.

Or you can only hang out with your friends on a certain day of the week, or have to plan in advance to hang out.

9. You're spending a lot of money on gas.

Well, that's where some of my paycheck goes unfortunately.

10. The second you get some free time, you take advantage of it.

DON'T BOTHER ME PLEASEEEE!

11. Seeing your friends having fun on their Snapchat stories, but you had to go to work.

If you don't have any FOMO, something is wrong with you.

12. Knowing that you work a lot, but getting that schmoneyyyy is all that matters!

As a college student, money is pretty much all you need.

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.
