Brighton, England: The Perfect Seaside Getaway
Emily Washbourn

Brighton, which is situated in southern England, is a funky beach town known for its overwhelming support of the LGBTQ+ community, pier and shops. It is the cutest town with endless things to do and see and if you are ever getting tired of fast-paced London, Brighton is the perfect place to go to reset, relax, and enjoy a nice day by the water. If you ever want to hop off a train and head to this wonderful little town, here are some things you should do.

1. Go to the Brighton Palace Pier

Grab some food, play some arcade games or go on a roller coaster! Brighton Palace Pier is the heart of any beach town and has plenty to do for visitors of all ages.

2. Check out the street art

Brighton has some pretty cool street art, so make sure to stop and snap a picture when you walk past it!

3. Go to the North and South Lanes

These "Lanes" are basically streets that are closed off to cars with endless shops, name brand and originals, food, coffee, knickknacks, etc. and during Christmas, have lights strung above!

4. Watch the sunset on the ocean

Unlike the east coast in the US, you can watch the sunset right on the beach in Brighton! It truly is a beautiful view!

5. Grab some gelato at Boho Gelato

No matter what the temperature is outside, there is never an excuse not to get this gelato! It was so amazing and comes in vegan flavors so everyone can enjoy! I got the chocolate and strawberry, which I highly recommend.

6. Snag a photo with the famous Brighton snails!

As a way to benefit Martlets, which provides life change hospice care, these snails are all over Brighton. They are all decorated in their own unique way and Prince Harry and Megan Markle even took a photo with one while visiting Brighton! So make sure to snap a photo of your favorite snail to keep for the memories!

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.
