1. Visit state parks along the North Shore.

Gooseberry Falls is a state park with many walking paths and trails through natural waterfalls, all the while being along the North Shore. There is also the Split Rock Lighthouse, which is amazing at night!

2. See a performance at the Guthrie Theater.

The legendary Guthrie Theater is a large part of the theater scene in Minneapolis. it would be rather easy to see all of the architectural structures in the Minneapolis area before the show.

3. Visit the Mall of America.

The Mall of America is visited by nearly 40 million people per year. It is without a doubt one of the largest attractions in the Twin Cities area, as it is the nation's largest mall! With over 500 stores, restaurants and a full theme park, why wouldn't you let out your wild side?

4. See an outdoor concert at Target Field.

Home to the Minnesota Twins professional baseball club, the venue is optimal for a concert!

5. Canoe and camp in the Boundary Waters.

Located in the Northeastern tip of Minnesota, the Boundary Waters is an outdoor paradise!

6. Visit the National Eagle Center.

Located in Wabasha, the National Eagle Center is home to one of the best bald eagle shows you will ever see!

7. Experience the Science Museum of Minnesota.

In downtown St. Paul, the museum is home to a range of exhibits that include but are not limited to experiencing the human body, driving a barge down the Mississippi and looking at the skeletal structures of a dinosaur!

8. Go on the Gangster Tour of St. Paul.

This tour displays just how corrupt the city of St. Paul was, and you can even see where Al Capone spent portions of his life. The tour gives you a look into the past with realistic guides who play the likes of John Dillinger, Babyface and Edna Murray!

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.

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.
