This is the sequel to "7 Almost-Free Things To Do In Manhattan."

Manhattan is debatably an expensive place to live, eat and explore. I am constantly in search of the best and cheapest places to unwind and dine for free. It has not been easy but I found seven more things that are almost free for anyone to enjoy.


1. Explore the galleries in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Take the person who says that museums are boring to The Met and they will change their mind.

2. Visit the High Line.

You have probably heard your friends talk about this place. You have definitely seen photos of this place and now it is finally time to go and see it in person.

3. Take a free round trip on The Staten Island Ferry.

It is a pretty peaceful ride and you get to see the Statue of Liberty.

4. Walk/jog/bike around the East River Park.

Discover the soothing ambient sounds for yourself.

5. Spend a day at the Hamilton Fish Park Pool.

Comes with a free and natural tan. As well as the option to get wet.

6. Go to the Union Square Greenmarket (Farmers' Market).

Local fresh produce!

7. Discover the beautiful view from Battery Park City.

You get the sickest view from the top of the stairs.

8. Go to the nearest Starbucks.

Get yourself a free cup of water with ice (optional), find a seat and take advantage of the free Wi-Fi.

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:

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.
