As the air gets crisper and the leaves start to fall, we always contract our yearly bout of summer nostalgia. Summer nostalgia includes thinking back on to that one party with that one group of friends or regretting not accepting that canoeing trip with your family friends. We all know this grieving process, for it happens to the best of us because summer is not nearly as long as it should be. We all wish that we could live in Hawaii or California where it seems as if the summer fun never ends, but that's okay because it only makes those three months more worth. So, here's to summer and some of the things I wish I would have done more of.

  1. Spending More Time With My Pets

That’s right, our pets hold that special place in our hearts. But sometimes we forget our little Fido is sitting right outside, wanting to be played with.



2. Acquiring Your Best Summer Tan

Getting our golden brown tans back is something that makes summer so wonderful, but sometimes lying inside where the wifi works and the TV with American Horror Story may seem like the better idea at the time.

3. Working Out More

Summer is almost like the key for starting your six month late New Year’s resolution. The only thing is, it almost never happens.

4. Eno More

Grab your eno, some granola, a good book and find two random trees away from humanity to reside in for awhile. Dont forget the bug spray.

5. Go On More Hiking Trips

Personally, hiking is the best way to go for any occasion.

6. Read More Books

Majority of us dont do much reading other than our assigned summer reading for school. But it's good to take your nose out of your phone and put it into a good book.

7. Spent More Time With My Friends

While my whole friend base and I were constantly traveling and out of town, it would have been nice to see them all a little more.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
