Things I've Learn From Being Back Home

Being back home can remind you a lot of the things you are missing being in school. You see all of your old friends and a lot of your family and you'll learn all the things that you're missing out on while away at school. You could talk to you family every day while at school but you would still learn a lot of things when you get home. Sometimes the things you learn are good and other times they're not that great. The things you learn, however, will make you miss home and make you want it to be summer as soon as possible.

1. Your family is crazy.

We all have crazy families but we love them. We miss that at school and sometimes you forget about just how crazy and funny they can be at times. Sure, sometimes it can be a bit annoying at times but overall, they're the ones that make you laugh the most. They're also the ones with all the questions every time you come home. You're used to the questions now though and they're just funny at this point. Your family is who will get you through your college years.

2. Your friends are always there.

If you're bored at home you can always count on your friends to be there for you. Being home gives you all the perfect reason to hang out and see each other every day since might be a few months till you see each other again. Every time you come home, it feels like you and your friends are becoming closer and closer. Now, you all are counting down the day till you see each other again or summer. It will come sooner than you think and you will see them again soon.

3. Things around town aren't the same anymore.

Things are changing around your hometown. Sure when you were in town all the time things changed but you were there for the changes. Now you look around and see random pop-ups of changes all around town. Maybe a tree was taken down or a new store was built. The changes are shaking and make you feel like you aren't a part of the town anymore. You are, though. The town changes just like a person changes. No matter how long you're away, things are always changing.

Changes and new things are good to come home to. It may seem like you're distant from everything now but you're still apart of everything going on. You'll back for a longer time soon enough and then you'll be begging to leave again. That's all apart of the college experience. You'll miss home and then you'll miss school. But you'll come to love being home with family and friends. But don't get home sick, enjoy the time you're at school, you only have four or so more years of it before you're thrown into the real world.

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.
