The 14 Stages Of The Last Week Of Class
Friends

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

You tell yourself everything is going to be ok.

2. So you stress.

And stress, and stress, until you can't stress anymore.

3. And cry.

The tears just flood over you and you can't help but sob. College is great, isn't it??

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

She can't even console you at this point.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

"I got this!" is your go-to mantra.

6. But, now you're tired.

You will do anything if it means you can sleep for 20 minutes.

7. And really hungry.

I mean really, really, hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

Welp, looks like you're pulling another all-nighter.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

The weekend could NOT have come soon enough.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

Club Lib... not as lit as the actual bar.

11. So you cry some more.

"I can't do this anymore" is what you're telling yourself at this point.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

You start watching motivational videos online to try and cure your blues.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

You're not sure how you did it. But, you did so you count this week as a win.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.

Send help because the cycle is repeating itself.

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.
