Here's To You, Summer

We'll miss the memories, but definitely not the heat.

Fall is nearly here. As a farewell to Summer, here is a poem written in its honor. We'll miss the memories, but definitely not the heat. Here's to you, summer.


Summer Is


Summer Is

long days on the beach

warm days, warm smileS, and warm hearts

new romances budding like a fresh Georgia peach

snow cone messes doubling as works of art


Summer Is

bodies covered in tan lines and tattoos

spraying on tanning oil and laying in the sUn to bake

everything is bright, shiny, and new

warm weather makes risks easier to take

Summer Is


memories eternalized in constant photographs

trips to the coMmunity pool

The stifling Alabama heat Makes you sweat, curse, laugh

personalities that glitter like jewels


Summer Is

loud music and loud voices

parties that never end

freedom to make your own choices

never regretting Messages after you hit “send”


Summer is

smiles on faces and kisses on tan cheeks

hours spent prEparing for dates

never holding back your opinions or being afraid to speak

never second guessing and always tempting fate


Summer is

cool sheets and sleeping in late

walking the beach, hand in hand

freedom to sit in the silence and contemplate

drawing your initials with heaRts in the sand


Summer is

a world of I had It's own

separate from the rest of time and space

a place where new memorIes and new love are grown

full of heat, waves, laughter, and Southern grace

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?

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.
