Throughout the past few weeks, the entire state of Wisconsin has been experiencing an extreme heat wave. It's a good thing we're the Dairy State during these difficult, scorching times. Our many ice cream parlors almost always feature fresh, creamy custard, so without further ado, I present seven of the most mouth-watering ice cream stops across Wisconsin.

Cedar Crest Ice Cream

You may have seen this company's ice cream in your local grocery store, but why not just go to the source for such deliciousness? Located in Manitowoc, the parlor has one of my favorite, absurd flavors: Superman! It's blue raspberry, cherry and vanilla ice cream all wrapped into one and can not be beat.

Kopp's Frozen Custard

If you've never eaten Kopp's, are you even from Wisconsin? With three locations scattered around Milwaukee, this ice cream shop is known for their many unique flavors of the day. Personally, I can never miss Mint Chip day but everyone has their own preference.

Lee's Dairy Treat

Lee's is that typical old-fashioned ice cream shop that comes to your mind. You order at the walk-up window and get to sit outside enjoying your delicious treat. They also have other diner-type food, from chili hot dogs to giant salted pretzels.

Culver's Frozen Custard

Culver's is another iconic Wisconsin restaurant that everyone who visits must dine at once (at the least.) Culver's is known for using custard, which is basically a creamier, more bougie version of ice cream. And, because it's the Dairy State, they also have phenomenal cheeseburgers (known as ButterBurgers her) and cheese curds.

Kelley Country Creamery

This ice cream shop is located on an actual dairy farm, so you know it's the real deal. The ice cream menu competes with the Cheesecake Factory for its extensive length. With flavors from Bleu Cheese Pear (questionable) to Boysenberry (more reasonable) to Brownie Batter (the bomb dot com,) there's something here for everyone.

Purple Door

Popular with Marquette students, this ice cream shop first graced my presence when I had freshman Orientation last year. Located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, Purple Door embraces the creativity of the city in its flavors. Some of those flavors include: Beer and Pretzels(!) to Olive Oil(!!) to Blackberry Quark (whatever that means.)

Pearl Ice Cream Parlor

This La Crosse parlor's ice cream is homemade daily and includes flavors like Cappuccino Oreo, White Chocolate and Raspberry, and Cotton Candy (another personal fave of mine.)

There's no other way to beat the heat than to go on a road trip (in a car with AC) to visit all of these places on a quest for delicious ice cream! Who wants to join me?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
