It’s an amazing time of year with warm sun, fun, endless days. But of course, not everything is as it seems. We all go through the same things every summer and it’s kind of hilarious.

1. You don’t have an extensive summer wardrobe

Even though you thought you were going to stock up on cute, flowy summer dresses, that just never happened. My entire wardrobe consists of black, grey, and some white. Basically, nothing conducive to the summer sun.

2. It’s too hot for a blanket but too cold for just a sheet

It’s not cold enough for you to bundle up in your entire comforter, but without it, you feel a little naked. So, you end up with your legs half out and sprawled out on your bed in a pool of sweat.

3. Your summer diet didn’t necessarily pan out

It should’ve started months ago, but you never really got around to making it a permanent part of your lifestyle. Now, all you’re going to do is chill at home anyways so who even cares?

4. Watching Netflix when you thought you would be partying all summer

We’ve all been there. Sometimes you just want to chill out rather than party it up like you thought you would with your friends from home. Honestly, there are worse things.

5. The extensive bug bites you are about to receive

Summer is a great time for some sun and relaxation, just as long as you don’t get eaten alive by the mass amounts of bugs that come out as well.

6. Never going on those summer trips you thought you would

You make all these plans on amazing road trips you’re going to go on with your girlfriends but to no avail. The farthest road trip you’re going to go on is probably to each other’s houses.

7. Shaving is a thing of the past

...at least until fall comes around again. Are you seeing anyone you need to impress? If you answered no, your legs are not getting shaven. It’s too much work and honestly who cares, it’s summer.

8. Getting into a hot car and feel like you’re suffocating

Especially if it’s a black car or black interior: death. Car air conditioning is a true savior.

9. You have no idea what day of the week it is

It just feels like every day is a Friday. Unless you’re working, then you definitely know the exact time and date while you desperately look forward to the weekend.

10. You can’t wait to go back to school

Not for the actual studying and learning, but to see all of your friends day in and day out.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
