If you visit Ireland, specifically Dublin, there is one thing everyone does: The Guinness Storehouse tour. It is touristy but definitely something that is worth it. As someone who doesn't love beer, and definitely doesn't love Guinness, I was concerned about going or even liking the tour but it was beyond interesting. I absolutely loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone in Dublin. Here are some tips to having the best possible experience at The Guinness Storehouse!

1. Go early

Even though it doesn't exactly sound super appealing to drink a Guinness first thing in the morning, you'll be happy to walk through the exhibit without a million people around you at all times. This also means less of a waiting time at some of the top attractions within the storehouse.

2. Do the taste testing experience

If you see a line forming outside a neon lit doorway, get in line! This is the Guinness tasting experience, which looks like an event you have to pay for but is actually free! You learn how to fully taste Guinness with a tiny little taster and get to walk into a couple cool rooms.

3. Pour your own perfect pint

Another thing that is free but could seem like a paid event is the pour your own perfect pint experience! You get to learn from the Guinness experts and take a chance at pouring your own glass. At the end, you get a certificate to show your friends and hang on the fridge stating that you are now a Guinness pouring expert!

4. Spend some time on the advertising floor

This fully immersive advertising experience is one of a kind. You are surrounded by a giant, wrap around screen and get to watch some of Guinness' most famous commercials.

5. Enjoy the Gravity Bar

On the top floor of the Guinness Storehouse, you will find the Gravity Bar. Sit, stand and enjoy a panoramic view of Dublin while drinking your pint of Guinness that you poured yourself.

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.
