10 Things That Make Me Look Forward To Summer
Megan Adair

The thought of summer is the main thing getting me through the semester. Here are some things I'd rather be doing right now.

1. Beach Trips

This picture was taken at a beach in Sicily but most of my beach trips are a bit more local! It's so nice having so many beach options nearby: Ocean City, Rehoboth, or even just my neighborhood beach!

2. Sleeping in

It can be so hard to get yourself up in the morning in time for class. I rarely get to sleep in on the weekends either because I work mainly morning shifts. Sleeping in will be so nice the summer.

3. Working more hours

I currently work at Beech on King Street but I'm planning to get a waitressing job when I go home for the summer. I look forward to working a lot because I don't have that much time to work during the school year. Being able to make a lot of money will be nice.

4. Being able to relax

This picture was taken sitting in a hammock at my nana's which is one of my favorite places to relax. It's so easy to fall asleep swaying back and forth while listening to the sounds of the waves crashing.

5. Adventuring

This picture is from Kilgore falls which is a really cool spot in Maryland! There's a waterfall, plenty of hiking trails, and also a small swimming area. It's great for a day trip which I'm sure I will be doing this summer.

6. Family cookouts

Over the summer, my family holds several gatherings while we are all home from school so we all get to spend time together. Most of the time we go to my grandparents house. Wherever we are, it is always a lot of fun.

7. Trips to D.C.

Megan Adair

D.C. is just a short metro ride away. It's super easy and I love to go frequently. There's so much to do and see from shopping to seeing the monuments, to visiting museums.

8. Going to concerts

This picture was taken at a Børns concert which was amazing! I saw him a couple years ago when he opened for the Lumineers and it was unforgettable. Concerts are so much better in the summer because they can be held outside.

9. Going on hikes

Megan Adair

Most of my hikes are not as intense as what is seen in the picture. Most of my "hikes" could just be classified as walks. It's so nice to go out walking on a nice day and just enjoying your surroundings.

10. Going on bike rides

Megan Adair

I'm fortunate enough to have some good biking trails near my house but even if you don't, you can bike pretty much anywhere! There are parks you can go to that offer good biking trails or even just going around the neighborhood is fun.

For us college students, we are so close to the end of the school year! Summer is right around the corner, so hang in there.

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.

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.
