Dear Summer...

From your biggest fan.

Dear Summer...
Kayla Garrison

Dear Summer,

Thanks for all the memories, all the late nights, all the friendships made, and for the time to get back to myself. Sometimes I think God created the you just to give us that deep breath we need. After a long day its nice to come home and the sun still be lit high in the sky at 8 p.m. and be able to sit on my porch and watch as another day fades away. Thank you for giving me those few extra daylight hours. Thank you for the friendships made. Summer gives us a little more free time to and the warm weather calls for more activities to do with our friends. But most of all thank you sweet sweet summertime for giving me a little extra time to get back to myself.

1. Extra Daylight

The extra daylight you give me allows me for more time with my family and friends. The family get-togethers last longer, the talks deeper and the days become more meaningful when you have a little extra sunshine. Cookouts can last longer, conversations go later into the night and most of all, kids have more playtime. That is certainly one of my favorite childhood memories.

2. Memories

Memories are my favorite part of you. Thank you for the memories with my family on the lake, the days spent rocking on the front porch watching the sun go down, the nights spent with my lover and with my friends. Memories are what I hold tightest to.

3. Friendships

The friendships made during summer are the part of summer that lasts throughout the year. Thanks for your lasting impression.

4. Relaxation

Relaxation of summer time is what most of us look forward to all year round. Relaxing with our loved ones on our yearly trip to the beach and coming back to reality for a while. It is truly the best.

Sincerely,

Your biggest fan

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
