We all anticipate summer until the harsh reality of it hits us hard.

8 Things I Absolutely Hate About Summer

The birds are chirping, children are laughing, and heatwaves are hitting you left and right. Summer has arrived and as much as I anticipated it there are still a few things I hate about it.

1. Chairs, not just one chair, all kinds of chairs.

Giphy

Let's be real, sitting on a chair in the summer is hell, like literal hell. It feels like you are sitting on Satan's throne. I do not know what is worse, a leather chair or a metal chair? They're both painful to sit on and when you stand up you can feel your thighs being ripped apart and melted away. I'm not being dramatic here either, it kind of feels worse than that to be honest.

2. Having a melted face

Giphy

If you want to rock that smoky eyeshadow then just stand in the sun for five minutes. Endless time spent on that perfect makeup look and you feel like your face is melting away, everything just dripping away.

3. Having to shave … like everyday

Giphy

Five minutes you step out the shower you can feel the hair growing back and you're just in confusion. Those who are like me and love to have smooth legs are always struggling in the summer. There are other alternatives such as waxing (unless you have sensitive skin) or laser hair removal (which can be costly), but sometimes all you have is shaving and it's a pain but not as much as the hot chairs.

4. Cute bathing suits with not so cute tan lines

Giphy

Strappy bathing suits are super cute, but the tan lines you get? Not super cute. You really can't win here, either a simple bikini with a nice tan or a cute bikini and a mess of a tan line.

5. Literally. Nothing. To. Wear.

Giphy

It's illegal to be nude but anything you put on just makes you too hot. Unless there's a portable AC you can wear to stay cool the whole time, everything just makes you hot and sticky. A tank top and shorts seems to be your only outfit so all those cute summer outfits you had planned just stay hanging in your closet.

6. One hairstyle for life

Giphy

Every time you try to have your hair down and looking cute it just becomes a whole poofy mess. Your only solution is a ponytail or a bun and that seems to be the only look you'll be rocking the whole summer.

7. Mosquito infested legs

Giphy

It's too hot to wear pants but too dangerous to wear shorts. Maybe it's just my bad luck but it doesn't matter how much bug spray I use, they just love attacking my legs.

8. Cute summer plans are a fail

Giphy

All those girls night plans you had are just a mess like your makeup that's dripping and hair that's poufy. Everyone's working and usually it's different hours so it's hard for everyone to coordinate when to go out. The summer 2k18 dream is just another one melted away.

So yeah I hate the summer because of this but I still prefer having sticky thighs and a melting face over the harsh, cold winter any day.

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?

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.

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.
