There Is No Guarantee In Life, So Stop Waiting For The 'Right Time,' And Start Living Your Life Now

You only have so much time to experience college parties, family vacations, class reunions, family get-togethers, nights out with your friends, and chances to do something wild for the first time.

Too many people don't get tomorrow. They don't get later. They won't get next time.

As a whole, we spend so much time waiting for the ' right time' that we never notice that time is fleeting. We are literally losing all of the best moments of our lives because we are too busy waiting for them to be better. We are waiting for things to be more simple, cheaper, more appropriate, more fun, more safe, and just more in general. Nothing is going to be here forever.

We are not going to be here forever.

You only have so much time to experience college parties, family vacations, class reunions, family get-togethers, nights out with your friends, and chances to do something wild for the first time. You are not going to have certain opportunities forever. Anything could happen.

Things can change in the blink of an eye. Tragedy can strike. Natural disasters can wipe out entire towns, death can take its toll on a family member, distance can change a friendship.

What you have right now, that is something that is certain. You are definitely in this moment right now. You have this chance right now. Embrace life the way it is meant to be embraced. See things the way they are meant to be seen.

Being spontaneous doesn't have to be a bad thing. It doesn't have to be only for the rich or the lucky. It can be for anyone. It is for you.

When the time comes to look back on the things that you have accomplished, are you going to wish you had done more? Are you going to wish you had seen more? There is no better time than right now, and you won't regret the memories you make.

Nothing is holding you back from this anymore. Stop waiting for the "right time" and start living now. You won't regret it.

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.
