Sophomore Year Worries

Concerns I have before starting my sophomore year of college.

Sophomore Year Worries
UsNews

In about a month, I will be starting my sophomore year of college. I am very excited to start taking classes more focused on my major, but I also have a few worries in the back of my mind. Sophomore year is going to be a total 360 from freshman year, and that both excites me and frightens me.

Last year, I had major roommate issues. So the fact that sophomore year is approaching and I am going to be living with a few new people, I'm worried I will again have issues. I am going to try and remain on the bright side and hope that the new roommates will be nice and easy going. One can only hope for the best, I just wish I wasn't worried.

The internet connection on campus last year was terrible. I basically had to go over my uncle and cousin's house every time I needed to do an assignment for class. I'm worried that nothing was done to improve the connection for students and I will yet again, have to rely on family so I can do my school work on time. I know many other students who lived on campus had issues with the Wi-Fi, so to go into my sophomore year and know that nothing was done to fix the problem, worries me. I worry that my school work won't get done in time because I wouldn't have access to internet.

I am worried that I won't like the classes I am scheduled to take and that I will want to change my major completely. Right now, my major is set to be business management. I have never taken a business course, but I feel like it would be great to focus on the hospitality side of management and I could one day own/run my own hotel. However, since I am going into these classes with no business background, I am worried I will be a couple weeks into my classes and not be happy with what I choose as my major. I am hoping that I lucked out and that my classes interest me, at least enough to keep business management as my major.

Finances worry me going into my sophomore year. I want to be able to support myself and hopefully get my own apartment sometime within the near future, along with a vehicle. However, I only have a part-time job and I worry that I won't be able to save any time soon to have and do the things I want. More importantly, I want to be able to get my own place. I love the area that my school is in, and the fact that I am not a fan of dorm living will make me happier once I don't have to do it. Getting my own place is top priority but it's also a worry because I also need money for food and other necessities.

Going into my sophomore year, I have many worries. The only thing that is making me not stress as much, is the fact that everything will work out just maybe not at the pace I want. I am just going to tackle it all one thing at a time and I know it will all fall in place at the end.

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.
