Stop premature Christmas decorating.

Which Comes First: The Turkey Or Santa Claus?
Shelby Alldred

With Halloween just ending and Thanksgiving just around the corner, the issue of premature Christmas decorating is on the rise.

Let's be honest, you probably still have Halloween candy on your fingers and roaming around your house. So tell me, why just hours of Halloween being over do people feel the need to start putting up Christmas decorations like they're going out of style?

Trust me guys, Christmas isn't going anywhere, and decorating a month early won't make it come any faster. Actually, last time I checked, our friend Thanksgiving comes first.

A whole month before Christmas.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas movies, lights, and Good Ol Saint Nick as much as the next guy, but we should give the turkey the time to shine.

Skipping over Thanksgiving decorations and going straight to Christmas is like your parents skipping over your birthday and starting to decorate for your sisters birthday that's two months away.

Sounds ridiculous right? That's because it is.

Let the pumpkin spice lattes and the basic fall photo shoots with your friends ease the seasonal transition before you stick Santa Claus in your front yard and running up your PG&E bill by sticking a million lights outside.

Who knows, maybe during the "transition" period you could stick up some turkey decorations.

Make Thanksgiving great again. Stop premature Christmas Decorating.

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.
