Trust Me, You Don't Want To Grow Up

Growing up sucks. It's plain and simple.

Trust Me, You Don't Want To Grow Up
Still Cracking

Growing up is scary, and it will happen whether you are ready for it or not. While it brings lots of joys it also brings lots of things that are not so fun. You get to look forward to being self-sufficient, and having your own family. On the other hand, you are stuck relying on yourself for everything. This is are the top reasons to why growing up really just does plain suck.

1. Bills are never-ending.

Bills will truly become your worst enemy. Just when you think you have enough saved up for something that you want...you get to spend it on things you NEED, like car payments, and utility bills.

2. Filling out your own paperwork at the doctor's office.


It is so confusing and you really just need your parent's help to figure out what some of these crazy terms mean.

3. Your parents are not just in the other room anymore.

Just when you think you have finally figured out how to be independent you come to the realization that you are in fact not okay. You just can't walk into the other room to get a hug from your parents.

4. You have to budget your money.

You have to pay for things you don't want to all the while trying to save up for things that you want.

5. Birthdays are no longer fun after you turn 21.

Once you turn 21 there is nothing to look forward to after that.

6. Freedom is not always a good thing.

You think that being on your own will be all that and a bag of chips, but then at the end of the month when you have $3.45 in your account, you realize differently.

7. Everything seems suddenly so much more expensive.

That candy bar that you used to splurge on and buy....yeah you can't do that anymore.

8. You realize you won't be a professional athlete.

All those people who went to school for sports have to come to the hard conclusion that they will not be a professional athlete.

9. Your body will not let you do everything you want to do.

Face it... you're getting old and your body will hurt in ways that it never has.

10. You finally realize how crappy we treat one another and how we take advantage of the planet.

Humans SUCK. End of discussion.

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.

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.
