5 Beautiful Hikes Out West That ARE Worth The Trek

These awesome trails will make you want to pull out your hiking boots and plan your next road trip!

1. Cohab Canyon Trail, Capital Reef, UT

This lesser-visited national park allows you to explore some trails off the beaten path.

2. Horseshoe Bend, Page, AZ

An easy, under one-mile hike that leads to a breathtaking view, which is one of the most photographed spots in the U.S.

3. The Narrows, Zion National Park, Springdale, UT

Take your hiking skills to the next level as you navigate the rocky bottom of the Virgin River. With the water rushing past you and sometimes waist-deep, you will certainly feel like a professional hiker. Remember to look up at the slot canyon's impressive, thousand-foot walls!

4. Queens Garden Trail, Bryce Canyon, Moab, UT

Most visitors walk this trail top to bottom, my family, however, decided to hike it bottom to top. Although this made the hike a little more challenging, I think it made the view of "Wall Street," a series of rock formations inside the canyon, even more incredible.

5. Canyon X, Page, AZ

Owned by a Navajo Family, the walk through this vast canyon offers magnificent views of the smooth rock walls. (Another benefit of walking through Canyon X is that it's much less crowded than Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon).

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
