Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" will never get old because the meaning of the phrase can resonate with everyone and we all have someone or something we've been needing to say "thank u, next" to.

As we've all heard by now, "thank u, next" tells the story of many of the breakups Ari's gone through, the hardships she's overcome and the strength she has now. Whether it's an ex, a friend a habit you've tried so hard to quick "thank u, next" reminds us that we are allowed to grow, change and move on without any hard feelings.

Having resentment towards someone who was once so important to you only leaves you hurting more. A breakup of any kind is hard but remember that you are stronger than the worst pain and you owe it to yourself to walk away.

Acknowledging that you had great times and forgiving yourself for what went wrong is so crucial in moving on. Not all things in life whether relationships or friendships are meant to last forever, heck Ari thought she was going to marry Pete Davidson (can you imagine).

If she did marry Pete, the world would never have been blessed by the "thank u, next" album and Ari wouldn't have realized how badly she needed time to herself.

If there's someone or something in your life you'd be better off without, sing along with Ari and say "thank u, next" no matter how hard it may be. Be thankful for all that you've gained, for you wouldn't be who you are today without everything you've gone through, but also say goodbye.

It's OK to look back and think of all the good times, but know you're headed in a better direction now that you've said "thank u, next."

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:

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.
