5 Great Hikes To Get Lost On In North Carolina
Reddit

Even though it feels like the middle of January, spring has arrived. (Although, thinking back, I'm pretty sure it was warmer in January). Anyways, SPRING! The leaves are turning green, flowers are blooming, and blue skies...will all happen when the weather warms up! And when it does, or even before it does, why not go on a hike? Go connect with nature and all that good stuff! Well, here are 5 beautiful hikes in NC that you should definitely take!

1. Black Balsam Knob

This is an easier hike along the North Carolina section of the Appalachian Trail! The cool thing about hiking along the Appalachian Trail in the Spring in NC or even TN or VA is the thru-hikers that are passing through. Every year in March, people begin their north bound trek from Springer Mountain in Georgia and walk 2,200 miles to Mount Katahdin Maine.

3. Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock State Park is in Rutherford County and has quite a few food trails that range from easy to strenuous. Climb the 1.096 foot mountain for a beautiful view!

4. Huckkleberry Knob

Huckleberry Knob is a favorite among hikers here in the great state of North Carolina. This bald mountain is near Robbinsonville, NC right off of the Cherohala Skyway in the Nantahala Forest.

5. Looking Glass Falls

Located right outside of Brevard, NC Looking Glass Falls is one of the more popular sights for hikers to roam. While some may say that this is more of a walk than a hike, it is one of the more stunning in North Carolina.

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.
