What Is Friendship?

We all have friends in our lives, but what does it truly mean to be a friend?

What Is Friendship?

Hey, friends! Lately, I've been thinking of what friendship truly means to me. From my elementary years to college years I have made amazing friends and some not so amazing friends that have taught me many lessons, so here is a list of what friendship means to me!

1. The "go-to" person:

Every time you see an attractive person walk by, you quickly try to Snapchat it to your friend or when you need to vent about someone or something that made you mad, your friend is the first person you go to. It's important that to have someone you can go to when you need something because we are human and we can't do everything on our own.


2. Approval:

When you're picking an outfit for the day, your friend is the one you go to for assistance or when you have a crush on someone, you ask if your friend approves. There is nothing wrong with seeking approval, especially from your friends because your friends may see or understand something that you don't.


3. Arguments:

(We knew this one was coming)...friendship is not friendship without arguments. There will always be something that you and a friend will disagree on so it's OK to argue and to have mini-break ups because in the end, you will learn more about each others' boundaries and how you work as a pair. Having arguments will show you who your friend truly is; are they making an effort to fix the issue? Do they really care about you?


3. Buddy:

Your friend is your buddy and goes with you everywhere! You party together, try to take the same classes, eat lunch together, travel together, and even go to the bathroom together. It's always nice to have a companion where ever you go because you have someone to share memories with.


4. Separation doesn't phase you:

Spending time with your friend is great, but it's a better friendship if you two can be apart for a long period of time yet still be close friends when you're reunited. It's good to know that you have someone that still cares for you when you're miles apart!


5. Treat friends like family:

I love this part of the friendship because you're almost like your friend's child (LOL). For example, if you ever need a place to stay your friend's house is always open to you and you can always depend on your friend to feed you, bathe you, give you clothes, etc. You always look out for one another.


6. Everlasting.

Lastly, to me, friendship is everlasting. Having a friend to grow up with, graduate high school and college with, see each other get married, have kids, and grow old with is one of the best things in life, it all comes together perfectly.

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.
