12 Signs You Know You Are A Islander
Sara Schmidt

Ever since I was a child, Block Island has been a vacation spot during the summer time with my family. Usually my aunt would rent a beach house for a week or two so my aunt's family and my family could come visit. Living on the Island for a week or two was always a must every summer. If we did not stay at the beach house we would just go to the island for a day trip. Yet whether it was staying there for a week or a day, Block Island in the summertime has became my second home. Every year I look forward to going to Block Island, as Block Island is such a gorgeous and amazing Island. Block Island has amazing beautiful beaches, has some cute stores, restaurants,ice cream places, lighthouses, wind farm , hotels, and so much more. Anyways here are 12 Signs You Know Block Island Is Your Home In The Summer.


1. Seeing The Bluffs of Block Island gets you excited because it means your almost at the Island.

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.
