My friends and I are constantly looking for things to do during the summer. We have 2 months together at home and we want to make the most of it. However, we usually end up grabbing something to eat and then sitting in the car/driving around because we can't think of anything to do. If you've experienced moments like that, hopefully this list will help you out:

1. Picnic at Old Westbury Gardens

I spontaneously asked my friend one day to go for a picnic at this place...it was a great time and also very insta-worthy.

2. Drive out to the lilac fields

I've never been here but I've seen photos and this place is more than insta-worthy.

3. Have breakfast for dinner at the diner

It's simple but one of my favs.

4. Grab some desert at the waffle cabin in Long beach

5. Watch the sunset/take a walk on the Long Beach Boardwalk

It never gets old.

6. Go mini golfing in Eisenhower park

Always a cute date-night.

7. Have brunch at the Harbor Market in Sag Harbor

This is a really cute brunch place in a residential part of Sag Harbor. Surrounded by quaint homes and off the main road, you could definitely call this place a hole-in-the-wall.

8. Take a stroll through the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton

Just another insta-worthy landscape.

9. Get some friends together to do an escape the room challenge

If you go with the right group this can be a blast.

10. Read a good book on Cooper’s Beach

And take a drive down Gin Lane to look at all the big houses with beachfront views

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:

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.
