Depending on if your going with friends or not listening to music while at the beach is a great way to stay relaxed.

Because does every part of your body need to collect sand? If you bring a blanket you may even consider taking a nap out by the water!

Beach bags are my favorite summer time essential as well as beach essential because what else would you use to carry all your stuff in when going to the beach?

Cover-up

If you've tried to put on shorts and a T-shirt after being in a wet bathing suit all day you know the struggle and how long it takes to get yourself situated. Instead at the end of a long beach day just throw on your cover-up over your wet bathing suit!

Hat

Along with sunscreen a hat is great to give you the shade you need. Plus wearing your favorite sports team or school as a hat is an amazing conversation starter!

Hairbrush

Beach hair can be a struggle so a brush is always great to have to tame your hair.

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.

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.
