A Letter To Summertime

Dear Summertime,

Oh how I've missed you. I can't wait to be on the boat, have my feet in the sand, and wear my hair messy every day.

Summertime, I want to thank you. Thank you for the good times that you always seem to bring. The bonfires, the creek floats, and days of just taking it easy. Thank you for not supplying me with an endless amount of homework, and for allowing me to hang out with my family and best friends.

You're just a few long days away, but I know you'll greet me with a pink sunburn, and a cold drink. You'll reward me for my hard semesters with some fish to put in the freezer, and maybe even some cool shells from the beach.

Listening to your concerts and getting to live in a bikini is something that I always look forward to. Dancing on the bow of the boat to music blaring while we are docked out on the island is something I'm dreaming our right now. Four wheeling and getting stuck for hours is you finest offering, and oh how I can't wait to see you.

Summertime, I hope you know how much I appreciate you. Being able to come home and relax never sounded so good.

Counting down the days till I get to see you,

An anxious student

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
