For most college students, it's the dead middle of summer even though it's only the middle of June. We've been out of school for a little over a month and still have about one and a half months left of summer. It feels like forever ago since the semester ended and since we saw all our friends. We're all itching to get back to school and create amazing memories with the best people at the best place ever. Until then, the months will drag on. All we want to do is be with our friends because we miss them.

Well, here are 10 ways to feel like your bff is by your side all summer:

1. Text everyday. 

Although extremely obvious, some people don't do this! That's OK because a lot of relationships will pick up where you left them, but when you're feeling lonely and need your daily dosage of your bestie, texting is the best thing to do.

2. Tag them in videos or memes. 

Every time I go on Facebook, I see funny videos or pictures that instantly remind me of my friends so I tag them in it. It shows I'm still thinking of them even at the oddest times.

3. FaceTime them! 

Have you ever wanted to go to the beach with your bestie who lives in Chicago, but you're from Pennsylvania? FaceTime them while you're at the beach! It'll be like you're right there with them enjoying the sun and the waves.

4. Share a playlist. 

I am a huge playlist girl and am always creating them for occasions or just to have. My friends and I connect over the different playlists and music that we create. It gets us excited for when we eventually end up being together and jamming out to our favorite songs. We can be listening to the same stuff miles away no matter what.

5. Go through old pictures. 

I always look through my photos when I am bored to rekindle memories from the previous year. Sometimes I'll even send them to my friends and we reminisce on the good times we had and start getting excited about the future.

6. Watch your favorite TV shows. 

My friend group and I all watch "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." This gives us topics to talk about constantly while we are away from each other, and we can bond over stuff. We're watching something we love with the people we love despite the distance.

7. Plan trips. 

My friends and I have already planned a trip in July to see each other back at school for a festival. It may act as a little teaser before school really starts, but it will be enough to hold us over until then. It is always good to see your best friends whenever you can all make it work.

Distance is just a number, and you will see your best friends soon! Don't forget to let them know how much you love and appreciate them the next time you get together!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

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.
