Sunday As Defined By Every College Student Ever

Is Sunday really deserving of the motto "Sunday funday"?

Waking up:

You first wake up at an absurdly early hour. Before even checking your alarm clock, you frantically flail around looking for ice-cold water. You realize there is no water waiting for you at your nightstand table and debate if it's worth the energy to grab a glass from the kitchen. After about a total of three minutes, you decide you're too lazy, shrug, and close your eyes.

A few hours later, your eyes slowly blink open. Bright light floods into your room and your only thought is, "well, shit, I guess today really has to start". You notice your mouth is oddly dry while you remember and regret your decision to not get water earlier. You feel like death, yet you have a sudden burst of positivity. You got this; you know you do. You hop out of bed and without second-guessing yourself, you toast that bagel you promised yourself you wouldn't dare eat and opt for some coffee. 'Cause what doesn't the dynamic duo of carbs and coffee cure?

Afternoon:

The afternoon is a time to make some very tough decisions. Will you go to brunch, will you workout or will you get some homework done? Ha! As if. No way are you getting homework done right now. The thought of exercising quickly passes you by too. Cardio? You'd die. Now that you really start to think about it, leaving bed to go to brunch sounds pretty miserable too. You go back and forth thinking if you should or shouldn't go. You're excited to hear about everyone's crazy stories from this weekend, but ugh, the thought of putting on jeans and attempting to look decent just sounds unbearable. You send an apology text in your group chat explaining that you won't make it today. And they most likely respond, "same sorry def another time!" Even though you deep down know these Sunday brunches will forever have to be rescheduled. Since studying is still totally out of the question, you grab your laptop and binge watch your favorite show on Netflix.

Sundown:

You peep out your window to find the sun setting. You admire the beautiful sky for a hot sec, but suddenly anxiety takes over. CRAP, you still haven't done any homework. After freaking out to everyone in sight about how much reading you have to do, and maybe after even shedding a tear or two, you get your shit together. "You got this", you tell yourself. You shove your books into your backpack and head to a quiet place. You silence your phone and flip it over, promising not to check it. Coffee in hand, you're in full-on grind mode now (again, coffee is every college kid's lifeline). You take a deep breath as you mentally prepare yourself for the hours of agony (I mean studying) you're about to endure.

What should be way past your bedtime:

Finally, you're headed off to bed. A great sense of relief fulfills you as your head hits the pillow. Right before you drift off to sleep, you promise yourself you won’t let this happen again. That you will be more productive next Sunday. But really? Will you?

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.
