Who Do I Vote For?

I still feel the Bern.

Who Do I Vote For?
Root House Studio

As I filled out my vote-by-mail ballot I had no problem voting, until all that was left was president. I struggle because I don't truly support any presidential candidate. I was a Bernie Sanders supporter from day 1 when he announced his candidacy. How am I expected to now vote for someone who I do not feel happy with?

My MacBook case had a Bernie sticker that faded because of its everyday use. My Students For Bernie button getting more loose. I felt the Bern in my heart. Sanders started something. He started a conversation amongst youth. Young people actually started to join the conversation that for so long, they ignored.

Some may try to have me vote for Jill Stein, but why? Because her platform is similar to Sanders? No. I can't feel confident voting for a president who would be stuck because of the two party majority system if she were to win. As a candidate for the Green Party Stein would face 100% opposition and all votes would be gridlocked.

All these thoughts don't help me. I still have no idea who I am voting for, for president. Bernie Sanders, I am sorry. I want you as my president. The Bern will always be strong in me. I had the opportunity to witness an underdog make it to the end. Who would have thought? The revolution Bernie Sanders started will always be something that will stick with us millennials. We are a voice that will cause the world to shake. We will shout when we are ignored. We will do what we need to, to help the world grow. Bernie Sanders this is for you.

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.
