15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

Before classes start and our schedules are filled to the brim, let's take time to reminisce about what makes summer such a special season.

15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

1. Driving around with your friends with the windows down and your favorite playlist blasting, right before the sun sets.

2. Relaxing by the pool with a fresh bowl of fruit and jumping in the water when your lounge chair gets a little too hot.

3. Taking your dog for a long walk, up and down rolling hills, under a shady canopy of leaves created by the trees arching over from either side of the road.

4. Curling up beside an open window on a sunny morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a stack of new magazines.

5. Having a barbecue dinner with your family at an outdoor picnic table then sitting around a fire pit catching up on each other's days.

6. Walking down the beach along the line where the sea just meets the sand. With each step, your toes get covered with a little more sea foam and your feet get buried deeper and deeper into the ground.

7. Eating a fresh seafood lunch and people watching under the awning outside a restaurant.

8. Racing kayaks with your friends at a local lake and climbing onto a wooden dock surrounded by water.

9. Having a perfectly refreshing ice cream cone on a sweltering day. Licking around the sides of the cone as if finishing the ice cream before it melts is a race against time.

10. Using your free time to reconnect and reminisce with old friends over meals and during parties.

11. The feeling of satisfaction you get after seeing how sharp your bathing suit tan line is after a day in the sun.

12. Lying on a giant pool float for hours and reading a fun, light book.

13. Relieving sore feet by getting a mani pedi with the best bright nail polish color after a day full of walking.

14. Working out outside in the perfect temperature: when it's warm enough that you don't need a jacket, but cool enough that when you run refreshing wind cools down your skin.

15. Spending time with your home friends: talking, going out and just enjoying each other's company.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
