The holidays are in full swing and you've already met up with all your friends who are back in town for winter break. Day one of the friend's reunion is a whole lot of fun because you all catch up on the latest 'chisme' (gossip) and share embarrassing college moments you've all missed out on. Day two, you're all caught up on each other's lives. Now you're stuck. What do you do now? Should you go out to eat? Should you go throw a party? Should you jump off snow dens?

There are so many choices when you think about it but in the spare of the moment, you all, including myself, forget of them. Nobody remembers all the fun things Miami has to offer. Your creative juices freeze. You all fail to think outside of the box.

I know this feeling far too well. It's like shopping. You never find anything you like when you have money to spend. But when all you're doing is window shopping and have absolutely no money, suddenly, you find an entirely new wardrobe. I get it. My friends get it. We are here to help you.

I, along with the help of my friends, have put together this list of 25 things to do in Miami when you and your squad are drawing blanks.

1. Have a scavenger hunt at the Wynwood Walls.

2. Go paddle boarding in Key Biscayne.

3. Take a walk on Lincoln Road.

4. Go rollerblading in South Beach.

5. Grab some frozen lemonade at A.C's Icees.

6. Take a stroll through the Vizcaya Museum and Garden.

7. Grab a late night cafecito at Versailles.

8. Hang a hammock and chill at Matheson Hammocks.

9. Find the talking tree at Fairchild that Kanye West spoke to.

10. Hit up a club! Rockwell, maybe?

11. If it's a Sunday, take a trip to El Patio!

12. Play some volleyball at the sand courts in Miami Beach.

13. Visit the Frost Museum of Science.

14. Explore some art at the Perez Art Museum.

15. Catch a performance at the beautiful Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

16. Watch the sunrise, oceanside.

17. Treat yourselves to an Acai Bowl at Raw South.

18. Grab some lunch at Monty's, they have live music!

19. Climb the lighthouse at the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.

20. If you're feelin' fancy, have brunch at the Biltmore Hotel!

21. Set up a friendly, or competitive, game at Top Golf.

22. Take a walk down Calle Ocho and get a feel for Little Havanna.

23. Take a free yoga class at Bayfront Park!

24. Explore the brand new Brickell City Centre!

25. Do a beach clean up! Save our oceans!

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
