10 Spontaneous Adventures At College
Julia Araneo

Some might say that being at college is a new kind of adventure that introduces many exciting and scary opportunities. During your days and nights as a college student you will be exposed to a whole new world of possibilities. You will most definitely do a handful of ridiculous things and the best part is that they will never be planned. Here are 10 spontaneous adventures you would be lucky to accomplish in college...

1. Trips to the pet store for multiple fish.

Nothing will replace having your dog or cat, but the closest thing you can have to that now is a fish in a ten gallon tank. The new addition to the dorm won't be the exact same, but it makes it a little better.

2. Long drives to absolutely nowhere.

Theres nothing like a long car ride with great people. Finding open roads in a place you know nothing about is thrilling. With no destination you might be gone for hours and possibly lost, but at least you have a radio.

3. Driving around in October until you find a hay ride.

When its halloween season you're bound to find a place to get your scare on. Obviously you have to take advantage of the pleasure anyone has in paying to be scared and the terrible free hot chocolate afterwards.

4. Good thing Wawa is open 24/7.

You will be hungry at 2am, but don't worry someone else probably is too! Wawa will become a constant in your life that never disappoints.

5. If it snows you have to act like a child again.

A snow storm at college is like a huge competition of who can build a better snowman. However, if thats not your cup of tea, you could be like me and my roommate and steal snow from outside, add gatorade and call it a snow cone!

6. You don't need a sled to have a good time.

If you're bored like my roommate and I were on a wintery night just slip into your rain boots. Go for a walk and make sure to step and slide on every sheet of ice you see. It was the most fun we had and it cost absolutely nothing and you know all college students are broke so free is a good thing.

7. You are good enough to make a music video.

A dorm room is not big enough when its midnight and you and your friends are full of energy. Move the jam session to the common room and record it because why not!? Trust me it will be treasured for years to come!

8. College is stressful so go play with puppies.

If you're lucky there will be a local pet store that allows you to play with their puppies. This will be the highlight of your week because puppies make everything better.

9. Spikeball can be an inside game if you're really determined.

For some reason you get the most energy when you should be sleeping. My friends resorted to playing spikeball in our common room because it was clearly too dark outside!

10. How far is the beach...because we should go!?

You will not want to admit that summer is over and winter is approaching. So in order to escape this reality you will decide a 50 degree day in the fall is perfect beach weather. Sooner or later you'll accept that summer's over, but until then you can be founding getting wind-burn on the sand!


Some of the last minute crazy impulses turn into the best memories...so stay spontaneous!!

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.
