Lehigh Valley Summer: Becky's Drive-In
Zip Car

A summertime must, Becky's Drive-In is by far one of my favorite places to go in the Lehigh Valley. The outdoor theater is located in Berlinsville, PA, and is open on the weekends in the springtime and every night in the summer. The drive-in stays open through the fall, with a dawn to dusk marathon taking place over labor day weekend. Becky's has two screens, so each night there are four films featured. If a movie is incredibly popular, you have to get there early, or you may not get in at all. Last summer, I went to see Minions and Inside Out with my boyfriend, but by the time we got there, the screen playing those two movies was sold out completely. Every summer hundreds of people eagerly await the release of a new movie, or two, so that they can head to Becky's with their friends, families, significant others, and even pets, to enjoy a fun-filled night.

Before leaving the Lehigh Valley, I wasn't aware of how unique drive-in movie theaters are. It turns out, most places don't have a drive-in, which to me, was always a summer staple. There's just something so special about laying out a blanket under the stars, digging into some buttery popcorn, and enjoying the latest blockbuster. I have gone to Becky's nearly every year since I could drive, and spent many summers there with my family. I still remember going to see Batman with my parents and brother. We always stayed for the second movie. I still continue that tradition today, often getting home at 2 a.m. because I was out seeing two great movies with friends. My favorite is when my dad lets me borrow his pickup truck. We line the bed with blankets and sit in the back, comfortably enjoying the films and all the company.

If you live in the Valley, and haven't been to Becky's, I highly recommend it. The friendly atmosphere, delicious movie food, and great prices make it a fun and affordable way to bond with friends and family this summer.

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.

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.
