The Stages Of Thanksgiving Day

It goes from 0 to 100. Real quick.

It begins in the morning. All the sudden you wake up on a chilly day to perhaps a few smells ranging from pumpkin pie or stuffing. You get up from your bed and see all the preparation going on along with the Macy's Parade playing on TV.

You are anticipating the night so you can use the excuse to stuff your face which is totally acceptable. That means that you have to go on starvation mode or you can always visit grandma for a much-needed breakfast which will include cinnamon rolls.

Throughout the day you are appreciating the day so much and school isn't even on your mind. You're planning your outfit just to sit on the couch tonight and look good while eating away. You may run a few errands with mom here and there and it is still enjoyable.

Then the day proceeds to get even colder and this is when you begin to get ready for your Thanksgiving night. And yes, you're right, selfies are happening at this time. You may make your way to your family's house or come out of your room if dinner is being held in the comfort of your own home.

You are excited to see your family members and cousins you haven't seen in ages. There may be a few individuals whom you aren't too thrilled to see but you do your best to avoid them.

Speaking of avoiding...

This is the moment you have NOT been waiting for. That is, the main questions you are bound to receive from your family members. "How's school?," "Any boyfriends/girlfriends?," "What are you planning to do after you graduate?." Ugh, and then you have to answer and pretend it's fine even if it's not fine.

Food then interrupts all the interrogation (thankfully). You are thankful you are surrounded by so much love even if you don't see eye to eye with certain people, but you feel thankful to have what you have. This is one of the few nights when things at night slow down a bit, and you take the time to realize what you have and be grateful for everything.

It's the end of the night and your outfit barely fits you. But, it's okay because you are not only filled by food, you are filled with love!

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.
