School is officially over and summer is finally here. Going back home for the summer means trying to find new things to do and not sitting in the house all day watching Netflix. I know living in central Ohio it feels like there's nothing to do and it's so boring. However, here is a list of actually really fun things to get out and do this summer:

1. Visit the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

If you have never been to the Columbus Zoo you need to! It's so big and has so many amazing things. It's a must do this summer.

2. Go to Zoombezi Bay.

For those super hot summer days, go to Zoombezi Bay and cool down. The water park is also attached to the Columbus Zoo so you could see both in one day or make two trips.

3. Visit the Columbus Museum of Art.

This summer you should really check out the Columbus Museum of Art. It has a lot of art to view and so nice to walk around.

4. Go shopping at Easton Town Center.

Easton Town Center has so many shops to check out. There's also restaurants and movie theater if you don't feel like shopping. It's so beautiful and definitely worth the trip.

5. Visit COSI.

COSI will be a fun trip with younger kids in your life or even just your friends. This could be a great rainy day trip.

6. The Ohio State Fair.

Go out and visit the Ohio State Fair July 26 - August 6 2017.

7. Go camping at Mohican Adventures.

Head out to Mohican Adventures to go camping or basically any campground and enjoy time with your family or friends. Nothing beats sitting around the camp fire.

8. Visit Hocking Hills.

Visit Hocking Hills and go hiking, stay in a cabin and just enjoy nature.

9. Red White & Boom!

For Fourth of July this summer, go see Red White & Boom on July 3! The fireworks display are a must see.

10. Go to Shadow Box Live!

Go visit Shadow Box Live and see a show this summer!

11. Go eat and explore North Market.

North Market is a public market that is a must see to go and get food at.

12. Visit the Franklin Park Conservatory.

The Franklin Park Conservatory is the perfect place to explore indoor and outdoor gardens, exhibition, artwork and so much more. This is an adventure to take this summer.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
