8 Reasons The Adirondacks Need To Be Your Next Vacation Destination
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Placid_(See_in_New_York)

Since I was born, I have been going to the Adirondacks in New York ever July. My family and I meet up with all our cousins and family friends for a week every year. It is one of the best weeks of the year and everyone should have the chance to experience a week on the lakes and mountains of upstate New York.

Here are only a few reasons why the Adirondacks need to be your next vacation destination.

1. Beach all day every day

There are lakes all around. Every day can be spent on the beach if you'd like. Lounging by the clear lake water with boats driving around and the sound of laughter and conversation is the perfect way to spend the days.

2. Late night star gazing on the docks

On a clear night, you can see every possible star in the sky. On multiple occasions, shooting stars can be seen. The soft lull of the waves on the beach creates a scene of complete serenity and peace.

3. Cute little towns to explore

The small towns all over the area have little shops unique to each place. There are so many places to explore that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

4. Boat Rides

Sitting on the boat and driving around the lakes along the mountainsides is beautiful. It is just you, your family, the water, and the wind. Close your eyes and breath in the fresh air.

5. Sunsets over the mountains

Staying at the beach all day also rewards you with beautiful sunsets over the mountains. You get a front row seat to nature's beautiful show. The sun slowly creeps low behind the mountains and paints the sky with beautiful colors.

6. Amazing mountains to hike

The mountains also provide beautiful hiking trails. You can go on any kind of hike, from a short easy one to one that gets your blood pumping but ends with an amazing view.

7. Sunrise hikes

Waking up at 4:00 a.m. isn't for everyone, but there is something about waking up with the world on top of a mountain that is so beautiful and amazing. You literally get to watch and hear the world wake up. The sky slowly lights up and the animals slowly start to make noises as they get ready for the day ahead. And you? You get to soak it all in and enjoy one of God's many wonders he put on this earth.

8. Warm days and cool nights

The days offer the perfect temperature. You can lay out in a bathing suit without dying from heat stroke and brave the ice cold water with the knowledge that the heat will cool you off. In the evenings, you have the cooler temperatures where you can throw on leggings and a sweatshirt and sit around a campfire. You get the best of both worlds.

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.

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.
