Why I look Up In The Sky

A Poem For a Beloved Family Friend

89
Why I look Up In The Sky
Mary Mara

Sometimes the best people in our lives leave us. But sometimes it’s for the better. Whether it be for us, or for them. Being able to find something that makes you think of them is healthy, even just to say hi. Because letting go to someone you love is just too hard. This poem is for my friend Monica, I’ll never forget you and your beautiful soul.

Sometimes we look up in the sky

But for what reason?

Are we looking for birds? A plane?

Maybe something we aren’t aware of

Sometimes we have no reason

But I know the reason why I look up in the sky

It’s so much more than a random occurrence

Or to just see a thing

I look up in the sky

To see my friend because I miss her,

I look up in the sky

To smile at her,

I know the reason I look up in the sky

Is to make her day, and say

“Hey, I see you, you beautiful woman”

Because I know my friend is up there

Having the time of her life

Just like she would with me

I look up in the sky

Because I know she isn’t in pain anymore

And that’s a relief

I look up in the sky and I laugh

Because I know she would have loved that

My snort would make her snort

And the fun would never end

I look up in the sky

To show her that I still love her

And always will

I will never forget you,

I love you

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.
