If you're searching for something unique to try with your friend group, here are five fun activities to try!

1. Make matching bracelets 

From someone who is not the most talented at this type of thing: it is not that hard. All you need to do is take a piece of cardboard, cut it into a circle, and cut eight evenly spaced slices in it. Take seven long strands of yarn and put them in the slots. Tie all the ends together in the middle of the cardboard and start moving the yarn from one slot to the empty one! Continue until you have the desired length. Tie it off and cut the excess off! I knot mine so it can't come off, but feel free to make a small hole to fasten it through!

2. Design initial flower signs 

This is something that I love to do and is so fun. All you'll need is a wooden cut out of your initial, glue, and fake flowers. Get whatever color flowers you want and start cutting their stems off. Glue the flowers to your wooden initial until it's full and then you're done!

3. Canvas paintings 

This is such a fun idea that I am dying to do with one of my best friends!! Get two canvases and paint. Each person starts with a canvas and their paint. After 1-2 minutes you switch. You keep doing this until the paintings are done!

4. Make a flower wall

This is a little more of a time consuming task, however I think it's worth it. All you need is something to attach the flowers to such as cardboard, Styrofoam, or a wooden board with holes in it, flowers and glue. Cut the flowers' stems off to the desired length and then glue the flowers to the attachment! Depending on how big you are making this, it could be time-consuming, but it is so cool once it's done!

5. Make matching sweatshirts

This is a simple and not a time-consuming project at all. All you need is an iron, clothing patches, and sweatshirts. Take the patches and iron them on the sweatshirt wherever you want them. You can do as many patches as you want wherever you want!

Try these fun activities out with your friends! You'll always have a fun little memory from that day as well.

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?

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.
