Schools finally done for and the warm weather’s finally here. If you’re anything like me you’re starting to realize you don’t have that many summers left before you are in the real world, with no summer break to look forward too. With only a limited amount of time before the big A word (adulthood) takes over, take some time to have some fun! These are the carefree times you should always want to remember.

1.Go on a hike. Go on so many hikes. Nothing is better than being outside and exploring.

2.Do a color run. (Do it while it’s warm now instead of freezing in the fall later!)

3.Try a new restaurant. Some place you have always been scared to go or have always been interested to try. Just go!

4.Turn your phone off for one day. Just live in the moment. (If you can make it one day than try even longer!)

5.Take pictures. Take a lot of pictures. Post them, or don’t. Do whatever you want to do. Document your memories.

6. Start a journal.

7. Volunteer with an organization you’ve never participated in before.

8. Go through all of your old clothes and donate them! Someone else is going to really appreciate it.

9. Go to a yard sale and find some super awesome things! One man's trash is another man's treasure!

10. Make a huge slip and slide!

11. Go on a picnic.

12. Plant a garden.

13. Go to a concert.

14. Go to another concert.

15. Random road trip!

16. Go to the beach!

17. Do something, anything, completely out of your comfort zone.

18. Join a class. Painting, dancing, kickboxing, anything!

19. Make time for you friends. Summer can get busy with the constant amount of pressure to make sure you are making enough money to get you through the school year, but make sure you make time for them!

20. Go to a store you can totally not afford and try on all the clothes you would buy if you could.

21. Go to a pet store and give the puppies some lovin’! (and try not to take them all home.)

22. Make a goal and reach it by the end of the summer.

23. Try yoga.

24. Cook something you’ve never made before.

25. Lay outside at night and just look at the stars.

26. Make a huge change. Change your hair, your wardrobe, anything! Just try something new!

27. Paint a picture. Even if you can only draw a stick figure, paint! You never know how awesome something can turn out until you do it!

28. Go to the beach! Everyone needs a little sand between their toes to help them relax.

29. Go to a waterfall!

30. Take a drive. Anywhere. Get lost, you never know where you might end up.

31. Have the time of your life, you only live once!

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
