We’ve got four months ahead of us of summer days and free time. But sometimes there’s just too much free time. What are you to do except to read book after book after book?

Get lost in your local library or hole in a Barnes and Noble, and enjoy the air conditioning. When you decide to just sit in the heat and tan, or just want to enjoy the lush trees and summer breeze, grab a book on the way and start reading.

So kick your feet up, jump in the pool, and bury your nose in these four perfect summer novels!

1. “Trouble is a Friend of Mine” - Stephanie Tromly

This novel follows the weird hijinks two high schoolers get into. Meanwhile, they uncover a mystery in town. The characters are captivating, and you root and cry for them along the way. Perfect to bring to the beach or read in your backyard.

2. “One More Thing: Stories and More Stories” - B.J. Novak

A collection of short stories from B.J. Novak that are hilarious and insightful. You’ll finally realize that Novak is a creative genius and not just the temp from The Office. Grab a stack of Post-its and mark your favorite stories.

3. “Fart Powder” - Jo Nesbo

Jo Nesbo creates the perfect imaginative reality to fall into. Remember what it was like to be a little kid? No college life, bills, or pretending to be an adult? The biggest thing you had to worry about was fart powder. Don’t miss the sequel “Fart Powder: Bubble in the Bathtub”.

4. “Meddling Kids” - Edgar Cantero

The adult version of the Scooby-Doo Gang you’ve been dreaming of. The mystery is full of layers upon layers that have you reading with your nose literally in the book. Live out your lifelong dream of the Scooby Gang as more than a high school group of kids.

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.
