May is a weird month. College students are done with finals, and all other students can see summer break right on the horizon. There a few really warm and sunny days sprinkled into the week, but the weather is still extremely unpredictable. Is it supposed to be spring? Pre-summer? No one is really sure. But here are some signs you are just as confused as we are.

1. Making plans that rely on the weather never work out

Planning to go to the beach in a couple of days because the weather app says it's going to be 85 and sunny? Have fun at the movies when it turns out to be 65 and cloudy.

2. You're not even sure what your skin tone is

You've gotten a couple of good tanning days in, but they've been interrupted by those cold, cloudy days in-between. You're not ready for that super tan foundation you own, but at the same time your foundation from winter isn't quite right either. Help.

3. Never being dressed appropriately

The amount of times I have left my house in a rain jacket and leggings just to have it end up being a really nice day.

4. Boredom


When planning for summer break with all my hometown friends we had visions of beach days, fire pits, nights in the city and mini road trips. But with work and unpredictable weather, we've resorted to lots of $5 movie nights.

5. Still looking for that summer job

Summer for college students mean scowering their local towns for any business that's looking for seasonal work. Even though summer has technically started, a lot of us are still searching for change in our couches and cars.

6. Saving listicles on "fun summer ideas"

You're dreaming of those consistently nice days that are soon to come. We can only hope all those articles can be put to use soon.

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.
