5 Traditions You're Never Too Old For: Easter Edition

Many Easter family traditions include activities meant mainly for children. It might be embarrassing to take pictures with the Easter Bunny at the mall with your little cousins or play the egg-on-a-spoon game outside. If you're in college, some of these may feel tiresome and juvenile, and you might question how you ever possibly enjoyed them. But there are a few traditions that you're never too old to love.

1. Decorating Easter eggs

You’ll never be too old to dye eggs and decorate them. From writing secret messages on the eggs in wax to dipping them in the perfect shade of dye, there’s always something a little fun about dying eggs.

2. Easter egg hunt

Easily, you can turn this into the ultimate game of search and find. Your parents used to hide Easter eggs (practically) in plain sight, but now you have the chance to give your siblings the egg hunt of their lives. Make it difficult, and don't worry if you lose an egg or two along the way. Well, it won’t matter if they’re plastic ones.

3. Appreciate the flowers and spring weather

Usually around this time, there are flowers blooming and spring weather is imminent. Even if you’re not religious, you can take time to visit churches with beautiful floral decorations and elegant landscaping.

4. Eating chocolate bunnies, Cadbury eggs and Peeps

This is pretty self-explanatory. We're never too old for chocolate.

5. Having dinner with your family

If you celebrate Easter, then there's a good chance you have a traditional family dinner to celebrate. No matter how old we are, we're definitely never too old to love a home-cooked meal with the family.

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.
