The spring semester is almost over and the countdown to summer is starting. It might still be April but I can't help but get excited for the heat and a little time off. Summer brings a special feeling of happiness along with it and I'm so ready for it. Here are 15 things to look forward to this summer.

1. Longer days

The sun stays up longer and it makes for a much better day.

2. Vacation

Whether you take a trip an hour down the highway or five hours on a plane vacations are always the best in the summer.

3. Ice cream dates

Ice cream dates are a must in the summer. There's something about ending a hot summer's day with an ice cream cone that makes it taste so much better.

4. Fires

Whether it's a fire in the backyard, on the beach or in the woods there's something about a Summer fire that is just amazing.

5. Sun-kissed skin

The feeling of the hot sun beating down on your skin is a great feeling. Getting a tan isn't half bad either.

6. Bare feet and flip flops

Not having to wear shoes is one of my favorite things. If I can't be barefoot, wearing my favorite pair of flip flops is the next best thing.

7. Cookouts

Eating food straight off the grill is the best kind of food in the summer.

8. Car rides with the windows down and music blasting

Those days when you roll all the windows down and cruise on the highway singing your heart out with your best friends are the best days.

9. Sand between your toes

The feeling of being on the beach with your feet pushing down into the warm sand as it squishes between your toes is the best feeling.

10. Coming into the AC after a day in the heat

After hanging in the heat all day long walking in the front door with a gust of cool air hitting you feels amazing.

11. Staying up all night and sleeping in all day

Summer brings along lots of all-nighters and not so much sleep. It's all about staying up all night and sleeping all day.

12. Road trips

Getting in the car whether you know where you're going or not is an adventure in itself.

13. Beaches

Going to the beach. Tanning. Sun kissed skin. Salty beach hair. What's not to love?

14. Cute summer outfits

Shopping for summer clothes is probably my favorite thing to do. Picking out cute outfits is always an amazing time.

15. Adventures with friends

Doing things with friends is the best thing to do in the summer time. Road trips, day trips or even just hanging at home. Everything I do with my friends in the summer turns into some kind of an adventure.

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.
