Well, seven seasons later and now we wait for the last few days until the end of Voltron: Legendary Defender in its entirety. After the Season 8 trailer dropped, ominously and gloriously, fans rallied from far and wide to mourn the loss of a great show... and to debate it.

Will Haggar transform back intoHonerva? Will Lotor return? Who was the mysterious Altean in the last episode of season 7? Will Keith and Lance get together? Lance and Allura, etc.? Where did all the Alteans that Lotor was hiding from Zarkon go? Are the MFE pilots the next Paladins of Voltron?

Voltron came onto my radar in 2017 after the second season was released on Netflix. To be honest, I found out about the show from Tumblr and was skeptical at first, but it's become one of my favorite animated TV shows.

The first reason I watched it was because Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos were named as showrunnersand are well known for their work on both Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel, The Legend of Korraas storyboard artist and producer. Second, I fell in love with the animation but, well, how could you not? And lastly, the characters. With a great team, great artists, and a great cast of characters (Like Jeremy Shada who also played Finn in Adventure Time, and Steven Yeun who plays Glenn in The Walking Dead) and an awesome plot.

Voltron follows the plot of the original show from the '80s by the same name. It follows a group of teens into space to defend the universe from alien tyranny by using a giant crime-fighting robot made of robot lions. I know, it's awesome. I'd heard of and seen a few episodes of the '80s version of Voltron and I can say that this reboot is one for the record books. A job well done. Well, it's been a good seven seasons, and now the last has come upon us.

I'm interested to see what other shenanigans the Paladins have in store for us in Season 8, especially since Allura's last line in the trailer states, "This is our only chance to save all of existence."

So, why should you watch the final season of Voltron: Legendary Defender? Guess you'll have to watch the first six seasons to find out?

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.
