The Sweet Simplicity Of Spending Spring Break At Home

Country roads, take me home.

The Sweet Simplicity Of Spending Spring Break At Home

I am finally home! That means back to help clean, cook, and answer the bombarding questions from my siblings. It's not the "How is school?", typical questions, but the "Why do I have to pick that toy up?", "Why do I have to clean my room?", and "What comes after 5?".

Are you really home if you're not doing different chores? Being home gives me a little peace. Just because I missed music blaring when cooking or cleaning and not having to wear 'chanclas' in the shower. I went from washing an occasional cup to washing a whole bunch of dishes after, before, and during dinner.

Everybody else has gone off to the beach, but I've just gone fishing. By that I really mean my dad and his friend went fishing and I fell asleep in the car. It's not that I didn't want to fish, it's just that they used a net.

I went from doing my makeup every day to no makeup, no brushed hair, and wearing the same clothes. Because being home is being comfortable.

It's already Tuesday and I feel like it's gone a little too quick and I don't want to go back to stressing out over due dates (even though I am still worried about them). These country roads really did bring me home. That, however, also means the WiFi will go out and my phone occasionally doesn't have a signal (because I really do live out in the country).

I guess it's well needed time to reconnect with myself, my beliefs, and my family.

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.
