In the southeast corner of Michigan lies a town surrounded by country roads and cornfields, consists of two colleges, and some “hidden gems.” This town is Adrian. Only 45 minutes south of Ann Arbor and 45 minutes northwest of Toldeo, there are many things that the town has to offer. The options of things to do seem limited, however when a friend and I were contemplating what to do one night, we began to brainstorm (some of which are sarcastic) ideas of what to do and there are more things than we expected.

1. Chomp Burger

Grab a great, local hamburger and listen to live music

2. Heritage Park

So much to explore and memories to be made here. Take a hike, look at Christmas lights, play baseball...the possibilities are endless!

3. Lake Siena

A little swampy, but a relaxing environment

4. Kilwani’s Trail

15 miles of freedom

5. MJR Movie Theatre

"It's more fun at MJR" (it really is!)

6. Cotton Brewery

Local music and beer-can't beat that

7. Hooligan’s

A homey bar atmosphere that serves amazing Perrin Blackberry IPA

8. Campus Village at Siena Heights

You will always be greeted with a hello and smile from Don

9. Adrian College Hockey

A fun and exciting evening of hockey (and fights), plus hot guys!

10. Lenawee County Fairgrounds

Especially the Lenawee County Fair in August!

11. Meijer

The only thing greater than Target: Meijer

12. Spotted Cow

The no-bake cookie flurry...seriously their ice-cream is a great study break

13. Adrian Dominican Sisters: Holy Rosary Chapel

A breath-taking, beautiful, chapel that will leave you in love and deep meditation

14. Hobby Lobby

The only place to get all of your crafting supplies

15. Morning Fresh Donuts

The one (and only) place to get fresh donuts before any large event, or just to begin the day off right

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

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.
