5 Great Day Trips To Take In And Around Merry Old London
Madelyn Neal

With a city so packed full of adventure spots like London, it can be hard to know what the must-sees are. So, now that I have several weeks in London under my belt, I thought I would point out some of my favorites.

1. Oxford University

Madelyn Neal

Just one hour outside the city, this is the perfect day trip! Make sure to spend time at the Bodleian libraries while you are there!

2. A Book Crawl

Madelyn Neal

Like a pub crawl, only much more educational (and probably more expensive)! Make your way to classics like Daunt and Persephone's to explore the hidden books of London!

3. Bath

Madelyn Neal

It is such a beautiful city; everywhere you turn there is a new clever boutique or restaurant, and you can even stop at the Jane Austen Centre to see how she lived and wrote in that city. There is so much to do, historic and otherwise! I would even recommend going for longer than a day: it is the perfect weekend locale!

4. Covent Gardens

Madelyn Neal

This is the perfect place to explore. There are homemade crafts and wares everywhere, live entertainment anywhere, and countless restaurants. To top it all off, there is also theatre all around!

5. Chelsea

Madelyn Neal

Maybe save this trip for when they have their annual flower shows so you can be sure to catch Chelsea at its most creative and outrageous!

Next time you're in the city that has captured my heart, make sure to take a look at some or all of these places! You won't be disappointed!

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?

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.
