9 Things To Look Forward To This Summer

Well, it’s May, and finals are right around the corner. Everyone is starting to get nostalgic of the school year and leaving their college friends, all to simply go home and live in a home involving curfews, rules, work, etc. Well I’m here to tell you it ain't all that bad.

Summer is a time to decompress, enjoy time with your loved ones, and focus on yourself. At college, we tend to be so “on the go.” There’s never a second of boredom. No wonder we’re sick all the time! We run ourselves to the ground and essentially both our bodies and mentality need a break.

Though some people get anxious about leaving college, here's some positive things to look forward to coming home to.

1. Family time.

For those of you who are like me and call your parents at least 12 times a day, now you don’t have to! You get the real deal!

2. Pets.

Name a better scenario than your dog swimming around in a pool. I'll wait.


3. Time for yourself.

You never get the chance to be alone at school, take the time to just hear your own thoughts for once!

Read a book, take a nap, take up a new hobby like baking or something. The world is your oyster!

4. No schoolwork.

Unless you have the motivation to take summer classes… in that case, I feel for you!


5. You don't have to buy groceries.

Hello home cooked meals on mom's budget!


6. Making money.

Yeah, the actual work isn't that great, but checking that bank account is no longer a nightmare!


7. Warm weather.

You know what that means! Hella beach trips!


8. Time to get back in shape.

Detox your body from the 2 AM pizza sessions you have at school!


9. Road trips to see your friends.

You thought you could go 3 months without seeing them? No chance!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.

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.
