Chattanooga, Tennessee is one of the greatest cities on earth! Chattanooga is home to a diverse group of people, many beautiful sights, some of the best food, and so many attractions. As someone who has lived in Chattanooga for nearly 20 years, here is a list of 17 things to do downtown in 2017.

1. Slide Down The Hill On Cardboard

The hill is located on Ross's Landing, and there is plenty of cardboard sleds already there.

2. Sunset Rock

Feel up to a hike? This is the perfect place! Hikers hike right before sunset to see a beautiful view on the rock. It is located on Lookout Mountain.

3. Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge

This bridge is the world's longest pedestrian bridges, and it hold a spectacular view of downtown!

4. Hot Chocolatier

This chocolate shop was recommended to me by one of my fellow creators. This restaurant is home to delightful, chocolate treats! You can even watch the action that goes down in the kitchen.

5. IMAX

The IMAX is a great place to see movies in 3-D. This theater has huge screens, and they even recently got laser projectors!

6. Go To A Concert!

There are SO MANY local bands around Chattanooga that play gigs. It shouldn't be hard to find a random concert, and watch a band you've never heard of before.

7. Shop

There are a number of small, local businesses in Chattanooga, and they each have such unique products.

8. Biking

Anyone can rent a bike through Chattanooga's "Bike Share Transit" and take a lovely stroll through downtown.

9. Take A Walk

Have I mentioned how beautiful Chattanooga is? Whenever I take a walk downtown, I always get a special feeling I don't get anywhere else.

10. Eat

There are more restaurants downtown than I can count! Every one of them all are unique and very yummy.

11. Get Some Ice Cream

ESPECIALLY if you go to Coolidge Park. As a local, ice cream always seems a bit more fitting than one might think.

12. Ruby Falls

Ruby Falls is home to a waterfall 1,120 feet underground. This place also is famous for their "Haunted Caverns" attraction for Halloween. The workers do a splendid job for many different holiday seasons every year.

13. Tennessee Aquarium

This aquarium has just about everything, including penguins! According to tnaqua.org, this aquarium is "a nationally acclaimed attraction."

14. Anything Outdoorsy

One can do anything they want in Chattanooga! There is hiking, canoeing, biking, paragliding, paddleboarding, etc.

15. English Rose Tea Room

If you are anything like me, you love a proper tea. I had the oppurtunity to visit last year, and it was simply delecious!

16. Mount Vernon Restaurant

One time my father and I went on a daddy-daughter date here. I never would have guessed how fancy this restaurant was. My favorite food there was the fried green tomatoes with their special Mount Vernon Sauce. Dad said people come from everywhere to eat here!

17. Wing It!

Go for a walk, drive, or even bike ride to find a random event going on. There's always something happening in Chattanooga, Tennessee!

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.

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.
