1. Go to the beach

Seriously if you're like me and have spend enough time outside, get out! The best thing about summer is the weather so go out and catch some rays. Just don't forget your sunscreen!

2. Have a picnic

Again, guys the best thing about summer is the weather so grab your bestie and head to a park for a picnic. Just remember to watch out for those ants!

3. Go to an amusement park

You're never too old to act like a kid again and who doesn't love a good rollercoaster. So, before summer ends take a day trip to your local theme park.

4. Attend or throw a BBQ

Nothing beats the taste of burgers off the grill! Get together with your friends or family and enjoy some tasty food.

5. Get fruity

Smoothies are good at all times of the year but they taste much better while you're lounging around the pool. And don't forget to throw some veggies in there

6. Have a garage sale

Summer is a great time to get organized, so go through your stuff and sell what you don't want. Plus, who doesn't love a little extra cash.

7. Read a book

Summer is a great time to catch up on some pleasure reading. Head to your local book store and pick up some best sellers.

8. Get to the gym

Everyone knows you once you get back to school you'll be "too busy" to go to the gym so, get yourself in the routine now. Then once you're back at school going to the gym will be a breeze.

9. Have some me time

Whether it be going to the spa or reading a book or going on a run. Just spend some time relaxing and focusing on self-love.

10. Pick up hours

I know summer is a good break from school and it is great to have some free time, but it is also great to have some spending money for school. Also, lets' face it college isn't cheap so try and grab some extra hours to help yourself out come fall

Don't wait, summer won't stay around forever!

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.

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.
