10 Reasons Why New England Is The Best Place To Live

For my entire life I have been able to call myself a resident of New England, and I wouldn’t change that for the world. From the food to the beaches, New England has it all. Here are a few reasons why New England is the best region in the the United States:

1. We have all four seasons.

Every season in New England is also twenty million times prettier than anywhere else in the country.

2. No matter where you live, you are only a few hours from an ocean, mountain, or lake.

Thanks to the abundance of small states and our location, it’s only a day's trip to enjoy the beach or going skiing.

3. The history.

Pilgrims, tea being dumped off of ships, and revolutions all first happened in New England.

4. The cities and towns.

You’re not going to find the charm of a small and quaint New England town anywhere else, and, of course, we always have Boston to go to if we’re looking for a city trip.

5. The food.

Being a Connecticut girl, I live and breathe New Haven pizza. New England statesare known for our mouth-watering seafood.

6. The sports teams are unlike no others.

Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, you name a sport, we have it, and we’re undeniably better than your non-New England team.

7. The nature.

New England is naturally beautiful, and we host countless hiking trails (even parts of the Appalachian Mountains), long sandy beaches with picturesque lighthouses, and mountains that have a peak high enough to allow you to see three states all at once.

8. Apple picking, pumpkin patches, and cutting down our own Christmas trees are seasonal staples for a New England family.

Every fall, you make more apple pies than humanly possible, and while the pies are in the oven, you’re also carving pumpkins two times the size of your head. When Christmas rolls around, we always make a trip to the farm to cut down our own tree.

9. Newport, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and more are only a day’s trip away and offer incredible things.

The beaches are incomparable to even Florida’s or California’s, and there’s nothing like being in the Cape or Nantucket on a nice summer's day.

10. We gave the world Dunkin Donuts and the hamburger.

Yes, world, you’re welcome.

So there you have it, just a few reasons why New England is the best.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
