Last year I made a list of creative ways to get a kiss at midnight on New Year's, but after coming up kissless last holiday, I decided midnight kisses are for some people, but they're definitely not for me. In fact, there are a million things better than kisses on New Years. Here's a sample!

1. Confetti and Noisemakers

What's better than making out with a cute boy at midnight? Throwing confetti and blowing noisemakers in the ears of the couples who are making out at midnight.

2. Fireworks

It's midnight, you're out with friends, and there are fireworks everywhere. No boys needed.

3. Being Drunk

If you're doing things right, you won't even notice you have no one to kiss at midnight.

4. Fantasizing Your High School Musical NYE Moment

Your Troy Bolton could be hiding out anywhere and that could be the start of something new.

5. Midnight Texts From Your Mom

Because at least someone cares...

6. French Fries

Fries before guys, am I right?

7. Watching the Ball Drop

No plan? No problem. Ryan Seacrest always provides quality entertainment all night long.

8. Declaring Resolutions You Won't Keep

Because I'm totally going to lose 15 pounds, eat healthily, and start meditating every day.

9. Naps

What better way to ring in the New Year than with your favorite pastime?

10. Good Friends

Just because you don't have anyone to smooch, doesn't mean you have to ring in the New Year alone. Midnight hugs are just as great as kisses.

11. Making Money

Honestly, I work every year on New Year's Eve so the only thing I'll really be kissing is my paycheck.

12. Compile a List of Bad Decisions to Make in the New Year

Ya gotta plan ahead to be successful, ya know?

13. Sparklers

What's more fun than fire? Absolutely nothing.

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.
