Got Relaxation on the brain?

So, we all love fireworks with lights and loud booms on the fourth of July every year. But even the fireworks lover may want some peace and quiet to enjoy the day as well. With the fourth of July comes a crowd as with almost any other major holiday. Looking to be a bit spontaneous and low key this year for the fourth? Well here are some ways to enjoy the day and relax with family and friends.

If you love fireworks and water, then Navy Pier in Chicago is the place for you. Take the evening out to dine and catch boat ride and watch the fireworks on the water. A great fourth of July date night and an exciting time and place to share with family and friends

Camping

Gear up and get ready for an adventure for the fourth then camping is the perfect activity for you. Skip the crowd and plan a camping trip for the family for the fourth of July. Save time and money with a safe planned camping trip with the family. Make memories that you will never forget by camping.

So, at first fishing may seem very unpleasant and nasty. But I will say that it can be very quiet and relaxing. I can actually say that I remember fishing with my uncle and being out on the lake. Enjoying the scenery while you fish is a perfect time to spend with the family .A nice time out for the fourth of July to fish and watch fireworks over the water. Pack up the lawn chairs and grab some fishing gear and catch a fish or two to fry for the fourth!

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.
