No one wants to work at McDonald's or Subway and fast food jobs are a thing of the past (aka high school). Young adults are ready to get a real job, even if it's only for the summer. So here's a list of jobs that are higher paying than your typical fast food restaurant.

1. Amazon

Amazon is almost always hiring... and the last time I checked, you start out at around $13.00 an hour.

2. Walmart Distribution Center

Not the actual Walmart store... but the warehouse! That's where all the goods that are in Walmart are transferred from. They pay well above minimum wage, and there's probably one near you!

3. UPS

It's also a warehouse kind of job unless you can get promoted to delivery.

4. Pepsi

If there's a factory near you, then you can start out at around $23.00 an hour... with no experience.

5. Uber/Lyft

If you fancy driving, Lyft and Uber are great places to work! Plus you work on your own time and make your own schedule.

6. Any other warehouse in your area

Most warehouses and factories pay over minimum wage, so all you have to do is search it online! Multiple places will pop up, and from there you can choose.

7. College students, try an internship

If there are companies in your area that correspond with whatever your major is, all you have to do is go to the facility and ask! It can never hurt to try. So not only would you be making money, but you will also be getting experience for your future career.

8. If none of this sounds appealing...

Websites like Indeed are job searching sites that I have found extremely helpful. Use your zip code to find jobs near you.

Job searching can be tedious and discouraging. But the most important thing is that you don't give up and you keep searching until you find the right job for you. If you have the opportunity to talk to someone higher up in the company, take the chance and ask if they have a job that is more fitting for you. You never know what will happen, and you may end up with the job of a lifetime.

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.

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.
